After walking part of the first stage we decided to run on a soft slick tyre for the opening stage. We had a good first stage coming away with joint fastest time with Bob Fowden. Stage two we kept the same tyre choice and although this stage included the beech road section we came away with a fastest stage time, taking the lead of the rally. Stage three was a repeat of stage two which gave us another quickest stage time and extended our lead to 15 seconds going into the lunch break.
Before stage four there was heavy rain so we changed to full wet tyres but a spin on the go kart track section dropped us 28 seconds on the stage. A repeat onto stage five still with heavy rain made it difficult to regain any lost time resulting in 1st in class, 2nd overall and 2nd Welsh Tarmac Contender.
Happy with the result considering the wet conditions. Thank you to Barrie Jenkins, Karl Davies, Chris Davies and Richard Roberts. Not forgetting another faultless performance from Kath Curzon in the co-drivers seat.
Also thank you to JMS photography and Scott Turner for the photo's.
