It’s a big weekend in the rallying
world this Saturday (6th) when the Coppermines Grizedale Stages Rally in Cumbria (MalcolmWilsonshire)
hosts the final round of the Asset Alliance Group Scottish Rally Championship.
David Bogie has already clinched this year’s Scottish title (his seventh!) but
he needs a top seven finish to ensure that Kirsty Riddick will win this year’s
Scottish Co-Driver’s title. Mark McCulloch looks equally secure in the
runner-up spot, but third place faces a serious sort-out between Ian Forgan and
Scott Beattie, while Duncan Campbell and Brett McKenzie will have to determine who
will be this year’s top Challenger – there is currently one point between them!It’s also the final round of the Protyre BTRDA so England’s
top club crews will be up against our lot as well!
If that all sounds like a bit too much excitement, how about
a more ‘sedate’ competition? This year’s LeJog is already underway and the
crews will reach Scotland on Monday (8th) visiting Kames at Muirkirk from 11.00 am and
Forrestburn near Shotts from 1.50 pm. This five day test of endurance, stamina,
navigation and driving skill has attracted 54 entries from the UK and many places
in Europeland and includes a host of Volvos, Volkswagens, Fiats, Alfas,
Mercedes, Porsches, Triumphs, MGs, Minis, just one 1924 Bentley, and a personal
favourite one 1962 Healey 3000, plus a few others. And if you think these crews
hang about on the speed tests in their precious historics and classics, forget
it, they are as daft as the rest of us! Red mist to the fore!!By the way, the red Transit will be in attendance at Kames
and if anyone hasn’t yet bought books for their own or their friends/family’s
Christmas I’ll have a stock on board so you can save yourselves the postage!
