Northern Stage Rally Championship
Sorry
for the wait for these results – things have been a bit hectic
recently.
26
contenders took part in the latest round – North Humberside MC’s
John Overend Memorial Stages Rally at
Melbourne
(well 28 really if you count Christopher & Andrew Mallinson who are
registered but swapped roles on the event and were therefore ineligible
to score points).
The
best overall result went to Chris Myers & Matthew Whattam, 3rd
overall in their Evo. Keith Turner & Steve Ward finished 6th
and John Haygarth also managed a top 10 finish in the rare Opel Kadett
GTE, winning the 2-litre class and collecting the highest Championship
score in the process, 115 points. Second highest score went to Chris
Platt & “Mad” Mick Robinson with 108 points for second in the
1600cc class, followed by Chris & Matthew who scored 106.
Stuart
Wilson & Chris Purvis have take the overall lead with Chris Platt
& Mick Robinson just 9 points behind, albeit from one less event. In
third are Nigel Barber in the Drivers Championship and Matthew Whattam
in the Navigator’s Championship. However, Chris & Mick turn the
tables in the Multi-Use Challenge, keeping their lead and holding off
Stuart & Chris. Third place is currently the property of Richard
Wormald & Tracey Taylor-West.

unlikely I’ll get an update out before mid July.
