Snowman - 20 Feb
To
get the 2010 Hankook Scottish Rally Championship off to a
flying start Highland Car Club have put together a package
comprising of five stages totalling just over 44 miles with
NO double usage and only 107 road miles. All this for the
great value entry fee of £425 which includes a Service Pack
and a Management Pack. All the information and maps provided
in the packs is printed in colour, thanks to the continued
generosity of Highland Office Equipment. Central servicing
will be provided again this year, with all facilities, and
not far from Inverness at Evanton, just off the A9. Once
again the after rally party will be a lively affair with
“Rant” providing the music to enable you to wind –down after
a hard day’s rallying. The Snowman Rally Organising Team
look forward to seeing you in February. [more]
There is snow in the stages, but there isn't as much as last
year. No need to panic - HCC are working hard to sort it
out.
The Rally is on ........!
Remember - Entries close Saturday 6 Feb at 12 noon!!
