Looks like its gonna be another great rally probably wont be able to go thou cos of my A-level exams :( oh well at least theres the Severn Valley this weekend :)

[sal]

Right who's off to this one then? Hoping the weather will be a bit kinder to everyone after last years' monsoon!

[Doon]

me for the first time. Where is the best place to speccy?

How come Burton didn't put in an entry in?........ it is a BTRDA round

[sal]

Burton very rarely does the Dukeries and likewise the North Humberside. Guess it has something to do with farming commitments.

The published spectator points are fine as the non published ones have difficult access and there are also local issues. Sherwood Pines is good although it does tend to attract the shell suit wearers on their mountain bikes. If you are prepared to walk a little bit from the downhill hairpin where they congregate then you can find some good corners. Blidworth and Watchwood are usually quieter and again some decent corners etc on both.

AB had planned to enter the event but did say at the start of the year that he might not enter the MSA Gravel and BTRDA championships in full depending on how they were goin halfway through season. So after engine failure in somerset looks like hes gonna give Dukeries a miss more likely to be out on the remaining BTRDA events :up:

I know there not running it this year as it got washed away in last years flood :D but does anyone know where abouts the Rainbow Hill stage is as supposed to be good??

Hoping AB will be out on the Trackrod but depends how his season goes I guess.

Sheffield area. A great stage but means a long road section each way but organisers used it so the morning stages could be switched around

Thanks :up:
Yeah i think you will see the Peugeot Cosworth out on the Trackrod as Burton really wants the national title and could be last chance!
It would certainly make me go up to the Yorkshire Forests for the first time :)

A bald man took a seat in a beauty shop. "How can I help you?" asked the stylist. "I went for a hair transplant," the guy explained, "but I couldn't stand the pain. If you can make my hair look like yours without causing me any discomfort, I'll pay you $5,000.""No problem," said the stylist, and he quickly shaved his head.----------------------------------Do you look for free wow gold?

Mr Burton didn't even know the Dukeries was the 14th June (that was the wednesday before) I was told the car was all ready to go and he was going to decide whether to ask for an entry or not, but he either didn't get an entry or decided not to go, shame as the car would've sounded great up there :D

Anyway had my firts visit to these forests on Friday/Saturday and had a good time, spent the day in Clip South, weather was a bit iffy including a massive hail storm at one point just before Clip South 2!

Here's a couple of videos
