Dale Stages

Dale stages was the 5th event of the 2013 Welsh Tarmac Championship. As we had never been to this venue before we did not know what to expect. We were seeded car 5 and on the day it was warm and dry.

The first stage went well resulting in an early lead. We also picked up fastest stage time on stage 2. Stage 3 saw a change in the route which caught us out which dropped us to second behind Bob Fowden/Paul Wakely.

We dropped another couple of seconds to Bob on stage 4 holding us at second. Everything went well up to stage 6 where we decided to push for the win but we spun then came across a chicane that was blocked after the tyres has been hit dropping us down to 3rd place. Stage 7 was a better stage followed by a fastest stage time on stage 8 resulting in us getting up to second overall and first in class.

A big thank you to Barrie Jenkins, Karl Davies, Neil Jones and John Curzon. Another top job done by Kath Curzon. 

Also thank you to JMS photography and Red Dragon Images for the photos.
