Winners: Darren Dixon/Peter Barnard (Peugeot 205)
Darren Dixon/Peter Barnard took victory on the Rally of the Moors, a 150 mile road rally that was severely affected by fog.
This was the first running of the Exeter MC event for over 20 years.
Dixon/Barnard led from start to finish but ended just a minute clear of second placed Roger Hunt/Matt Fowle. Hunt suffered a broken gearbox on his Escort as he drove to scrutineering, he therefore decided to use his tow truck, a Land Rover Discovery, for the rally.
There was a three way tie for third place which was resolved on the furthest clean basis and this gave the position and the win in the historic category to Rob Dance/Graham Dance. The leading Semi-Experts, Scott Jonas/Chris Perry, were also involved in this decider and were classified fifth.
Jim Cassidy/Perry Roe won the Novice class despite their Peugeot 205 suffering contact with a telephone post along the way.
Bob Price/Richard Millener were given the Spirit of the Rally Award having got to the Finish despite damaged both ends of their Volvo Amazon.
Ian Orford/Bob Jones (Mazda 323 4X4T) were an early retirement after a disgruntled householder grabbed their keys and threw them into the undergrowth. Anotehr non-finisher was the Peugeot 106 Rallye of Kim Kirk/Phil Luxton, it suffered a broken back axle and bent rear suspension.
