Starters: 28
Winners: Claire Evans/Allen Hart (Vauxhall Astra)
Claire Evans/Allen Hart took a comfortable win on Telford AC's Saw & Weld Novice Road Rally. The pair had swapped the Nova they'd campaigned previously for a more powerful Astra and the upgrade certainly seemed to work. By the end of the first section they'd established a healthy lead and then cleaned the remaining two sections to come home over three minutes clear of the field.
The ninety mile event was the third road rally organised by Telford AC during the year. Entries were limited to Novices and Beginners only.
Second place was taken by the Mini of Joe Ivy/Owen Turner, who were almost five minutes in front of the third placed Escort of Richard Jordan/Robert Bernard.
The highest placed Beginners, Paul Bunch/David Clayton, took fourth just 13 seconds shy of third place.
Of the 28 starters only 16 made it back to the Finish, among those that failed to make it were Andrea and Christopher Wallet, who put their Audi 80 into a ditch, Gareth and Andrew Davies blew the engine on their Chevette, while the Astra of Lynne Rowe/Simon Rigby suffered altenator failure.
Unluckiest crew of the night were Mal Jones/Ian Fellows, who lost out on third place when they booked in early at a Time Control.
