We are still taking late entries for the Midsummer Endurance Rally, as there is plenty of room left.

There has been lots of rain this weekend; will the tracks stay wet for the event?

Wet Midsummer?

I was up in North Norfolk today and it is VERY wet up there - in true Norfolk style it was raining heavily up there all day today too even if it was dry elsewhere. I think we will find some muddy tracks next weekend all right.

Midsummer Nearly Here

My last visit to the CMC site before heading for Norfolk (via the shed of course to load at least 5 vehicles with equipment).

Good luck to the competitors and even better luck to the hardworking organisers and marshals.

Any would be marshals that have not already committed their souls to Ed Scott should do so NOW

Thanks to all the marshals

A big thanks to all the marshals who helped make the Midsummer run so smoothly from start to finish. Their were so many who helped marshal the event, and put in so much, from the marshals who were at 5 separate locations over the day and night routes, to those who made the commitment to help so early on, through to those who helped at the last minute. Without every single one of you, we could not have made the event run as smoothly as it did, and on behalf of the organising team, we were thankful of the huge support.
Ed Scott
Chief Marshal, Midsummer Endurance.

Fantastic event! Loved every

Fantastic event! Loved every bump.
Thanks to the dedicated organising team and the ever cheerful marshals. It never ceases to amaze me how many people give up their time. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves. Congratulations to my driver (Dave Hedgecox) who chucked a standard very good condition VW Polo down the whites on only his 2nd ever event. We managed to lighten the vehicle a bit on the way as bits dropped off. Funniest moment of the night for me was going down a white with the driver trying to put the glass back in the door mirror. I had to politely remind him to hang on to the steering and watch where he was going or the mirror would be the least of our troubles!
Thanks everyone

Thanks

Thanks to all the marshals and the organising team. The event seemed to run smoothly, even if the roads weren't Eye
We really enjoyed it, shame about the off. Thanks to the recovery guys for getting us going again. I hope I didn't distract you into falling into that hole on Peddars way and costing you a top 3 place Matt, sorry.

A major rebuild/restraighten is on the cards now Sad

Congratulations also to Owen and Andy for managing to retain their title and very bad luck to Matt who was going so well until he got beached.....

I could blame it on other

I could blame it on other people, getting beached. But i won't the road was just very very rough, and that's just rallying. Still pleased with 5th O/A and first expert Cool
