Northern Stage Rally Championship Bulletin
5 – April 2005 The
Wold construction North Humberside Forest Rally provided the third
Forest event for this year’s Championship. Based as usual near Hull
the organisers put on 6 stages in the North Yorkshire Forests with 2
runs at each of Gale Rigg & Cropton combined with a long stage in
Langdale and one in Dalby. 24 contenders took part. Congratulations
to Trev & Pam Silcock who took home the award for best registered
ANCC Championship crew for 31st overall. It was, however,
Dave Hemingway and Jim Plevey who came away with the best score for
their 6th in the combined 2-litre classes. Alan Richardson /
Chris Roe were next highest scorer after a fraught day with brake and
alternator problems and a mysterious now-you-see-it-now-you-don’t oil
leak. Only other registered contenders to finish were Nick Dale / Kevin
hare and navigators Matthew Whattam, Andy Welborn & Dave Everard –
another unlucky event for many contenders. The
results mean that Dave H moves up to 2nd behind Roger
Priestnall and Trev moves up to 3rd overall in the driver’s
championship. Plug Pulleyn maintains a healthy lead in the navigator’s
championship with Pam and Kevin moving into 2nd & 3rd
respectively. In the Forest Challenge, Dave leads comfortably from Roger
and Trev and Pam leads from Jim and Chris Roe. It’s
now onto a few multi-use rounds, so let’s see what these do for the
tables….. Next

next multi-use round will take place at Fulbeck, Lincolnshire with
50miles of mixed surface stages for £170. Regs should be with you
already, if you haven’t received a set please contact Joy Collins,
0115 938 6251. There are over 50 entries to date although the website
was only showing 23 today. John
Overend Memorial Rally, Sunday 15th May, www.northhumbersidemotorclub.co.uk Due
to run at Melbourne near York I know that a number of people have been
enquiring about regs. With the same club organising last weeks NHFR then
I think their attentions have been elsewhere! Rest assured, address
labels for all contenders have been provided and regs are promised soon.
Proflex
Stages, Saturday 28th May, www.proflexrally.co.uk Almost
full entry list already for this event offering 44 miles of tarmac
stages for £185 (£195 after 30th April) at the Leyland test
track. If you want a run I suggest an urgent call to Jill Foster, 01254
872935. Misc I’ve
noticed a few navigators swapping drivers around – this is OK but
please can you let me know in advance where possible so that I don’t
miss you when I look through the results. Good
luck at Fulbeck. Mike
