speedy hire stages

Event Report, first real tarmac test of the year !!

Had a cracking day on the speedy hire stages at Rockingham yesterday, Darky pulled a few strings and got Tudor Jenkins to sit in with me for the whole day, From the outset we agreed to not look at times and use the complete day as a test session.
Stage 1 was dry, stage 2 was cancelled due to a non challenge pug crashing in the tunnel at the stage start, then the heavens opened and it poured down all day, to Tudor’s delight!! That’s it boyo, just what we want.

Taunton Open

Gordon and I entered the Taunton Open, having decided to contest as many of the ASWMC events as calendar and time allows. Also first proper outing for the 106 1300cc Rallye apart from two course drives of the Derek Stone.
Nothing untoward on way down apart from seeing a woman clearly being given driving instruction in a 318i on the M4 couldn't stay within the nearside lane at all, then a big big Merc doing 90 in outside lane with a space saver wheel on the front, and I thought there was 50 limit!

Derek Stone

7th February - Gordon P and I drove route in the 106, did whole route door to door in under 90mins so 45 miles route looks fine. Found a road closed at Stow Maries will monitor this. Identified locations for all controls.
w/c 12th February - started doing clues thanks to Bob Blows and Paul Barrett for checking them, started to gather and confirm marshals. Final instructions sent out.
18th Febraury do last minute route checking and control locations on pretence of 'looking at houses for sale'

The Bagger - what a disaster

Published the regs for the Derek Stone 12 car on 17th Jan, by end of the Awards Nights on the 18th, I had 12 confirmed entries, now have 2 reserves so looks like entry list is closed 5 weeks before the event.
Presented awards for 2006 at Club Night on 18th, good see see night well supported even tho we had the bad storms during the day which affected major roads and train network.

HYN one and all. As this is the first weekend of 2007 I thought I would start with every good intention of recording everything I do in connection with CMC and motorsport. Note this will be in summary form before I hear the gasps.
4/1/07 - Committee meeting at Boreham

Jamie Hickman and I have come to an agreement for 2007 and are teaming up in his new Citroen C2-R2 (once he's built it).

We are entering the C2 cup which runs as part of the British Rally Championship.
