Winners: Daniel Jones/Dale Bowen (Ford Escort)


Daniel Jones/Dale Bowen won a highly competitive Sarn Helen Rally by over a minute on Saturday night. The last minute pairing had been in second at Petrol, 38 seconds behind Kevin Davies/Steve Herbert. The latter pair would have taken a comfortable win but they suffered a four minute wrong slot in the second half. They finished in fourteenth place.

Jones/Bowen had to contend with a slipping clutch in the latter stages of the event but survived to give Bowen his first National B win.

There was a close battle for second place with three crews being separated by just nine seconds at the Finish. Richard Jerman/Iwan Jones had been the last of the three at one point but came through to take the runner up spot and keep their Welsh Championship hopes alive. Phil Evans/Dilwyn John took third with top seeds John Davies/Eurig Davies in fourth.

The Sarn Helen was the penultimate round of the Welsh Championship and two of the series front runners had poor nights. Reian Jones/Michael Gilbey finished in eleventh after visiting a ditch in the first half, while Howard Price/Carl Williamson were off the pace throughout the night and could only make twenty-first at the Finish.

Will Arrowsmith/Ceri Davies were fortunate to find an open gate when they went off the road. They survived to take eighth place. Less fortunate were Mark ‘GT’ Roberts/Steve Price who slid their car into a soft ditch and were unable to get back out.

Stephen John Williams/Lowri Davies withdrew after picking up a fail at PC6.

There was a tight contest for the Expert Class win. Steve Knibbs/Gerwyn Barry led Justin Jones/Lewis Jenkins by four seconds at Petrol with Dyfrig James/Emyr Jones eight seconds further back. At the Finish these positions were reversed with James/Jones taking the class win and tenth overall.
