Greystoke Stages - 10 July
Club member Daniel O'Brien won the West Cumbria Motorsport Club Greystoke Stages on Sunday 10 July. With Andy Marchbank reading the notes, the pair took their Ford Focus WRC to secure first place ahead of second seed Richard and Edwin Cook's Subaru Impreza by a mere 12 seconds. The Cook Subaru took an early lead of 5 seconds in the first stage but over the next 3 stages O'Brien clawed it all back to all square. The next two stages saw O'Brien pull a significant lead of 14 seconds, giving a lead that, even with the loss of 2 seconds on the last stage, meant they were top of the podium. Well done to the crew, and flying the HBCC flag.
Stobs Classic - 12 June 
After a competitive day of special tests in Stobs Camp, Hawick the MG Midget of Archie and Richard Simmonds claimed victory on the Hawick & Border Car Club’s Porter’s Porches Stobs Classic Rally.
From a reduced entry of 18 classic cars, it was the Morris Mini of Tom Hall and Tony Chrisp that set the early pace across the opening tests, however, the Simmonds crew got the bit between the teeth clawing back time during the late morning and early afternoon. [more]
