anyone going down to talbenny tommorrow,always a good afternooon viewing,mostly escorts but theres usually a good smattering of scoobs and other makes.good laugh as the cars are running on the stage at the same time.
first cars off at 9am.

 

good single venue event good fore specys
won a few trophys when i done this rally over the years

 

yes good spot for spectators,you see a hell of a lot more action than you will see up at the wrc in a couple of weeks.

 

i only watched after we done the stage to see the lower numbers having a go. if its dry you will have a nice day have a look out for richard davies
in a 1400 escort mk 2 should be in the top 15 i spent a lot of time with is dad malcom in the co-drivers seat he might be out aswell

 

are the davies family who run crow hill garages,they are always very fast.mk2 escort gurus
not to bad weather wise down here today,usually blowing a gale and pouring with rain and its a very exposed spot on top of the cliffs.

 

well it was a dramatic afternoon we stood on a hair pin bend which was approached at speed.a scooby clipped a tyre and rolled,a fire started in the engine bay so it was panic stations,the crew got out ok but the drivers missus keeled over(shock i suppose) so the ambulance team had to check her out.(it was the brecon motors car they had a very bad day they also had a civic that had retired due to a front end smash and an old rover that was on fire when it came off the stage). well that closed the stage for a while so then they came out again,same corner a 04evo clipped same tyre and almost rolled,then a mk2 clipped same tyre and that rolled over completely.chris garner was ther in his 205,i would have some great piccies to show you but i left my camera on the kitchen table. .those escorts still dominate at talbenny and alot of them are older than me.
