Its that time of year again!!!!!! Get out your hat, gloves and a scarf and have a walk into the Nottinghamshire Forests.

2007 RalliTrak Premier Rally - Home

It was a good day out last year, so lets see if we can do the same again.

Meeting place TBC closer to the event. Possible meet at a pub for some grub too.

1). Ricardo
2).

 

Cant beat standing in a wood, freezing cold watching 6000 white ford escorts and being hit in the face with millions of stones and catching people out with the name game..

The gandy shall be there

1). Ricardo
2). Gandy

 

Since I've managed to miss the local events this year, I'll redouble my efforts to be there.

 

Rich, I think this is the same day as the karting.

Wolfie.

 

Well if Andy has not booked the karting yet, we can move it. Wait and see what Mr Whitlock says?

 

May have to miss this due to work commitments

 

Are you sure its not becasuse you have entered thinking that you are driving the real thing? lol

 

Maybe seeing all of the people standing on the side of the road waving and clapping when we was driving from the stages in Germany has gone to my head

 

Are you sure they were clapping? Maybe they were trying to tell you show you the size of a fish they had caught........ look closely and you will see what i mean lol

Well, I managed to miss this one as well - thanks mainly to a bit of a headache, which I suspect was self-inflicted from the night before.

I saw the fosters rich your getting like my mate

 

I look like Ray Mears has been training me in forest survival!

 

Bugger, I really must look in here more often!

I used to marshal in Clipstone in the 80's

 

I have marshalled at the Dukeries & Robin hood at Clipstone

It gets better at each event. But safety keeps getting better or worse depending which way you look at it. Well worth a trip into the woods though. I'll PM you next time LJP post a meet. Should be the Robin Hood Rally in the spring.

 

Ta very muchly I did notice the profussion of tapes etc.

The pinnacle of my marshalling career was in Nottingham on the 1985 RAC (with the Group B & RS200s ) when I did the Parc Ferme, Press Day in Blidworth and Scrutineering including the main press and competitor caravans. I had to deal with Stig Blomqvist, Juha Kankunnen, Ari Vatanen and the much missed Henri Toivonen I couldn't really top that to be honest

 

Too right..... shame the WRC is stuck in the Welsh forests...... the old RAC was great! I suppose there is too much traffic on the roads that would mess up the running between stages?

 

A smaal selection of my pictures from Sunday,

 

as usual kev top stuff!
