Hope Pat gets on better than when he did 3 demos rums in it at Lydden recently.
was its first run out after 700 hr rebuild, brakes stuck on... air dam/spoiler flew off the top,
oh and Pat stuffed it into the tyre wall!!
is it on tv at all.

I notice Mark Rennison is there - I used to watch him rally crossing at Croft back in the 80's - he was good too!

Woo! A name from the past. He was quick at Croft. I used to be there with Will Gollop. Who didn't hang around either. And as for Pat I sold him
his first 6R4 international motor. A great bunch of blokes...

It was a good time - Tony Proctor was my favourite at the time in that white Capri although Mark Rennison was very popular too. he started in a mk1
escort if I recall, then went on to win lots in a RWD converted Mk3 escort then the RS200 when he was champion.

Looks like Pat (and Mark) did the first section and then didn't complete the 2nd.

and then sort on unlimited. Dave Donner in the Palatov was fastest Unlimited car (10min 4 secs)

Slightly O/T, but I was a big rallycross fan back then too. There are some of my B&W photos on the DDMC website, under "History"

I listened on the radio link last night for a while. I think the weather was bad with much rain and snow at the top. as I went to bed they were
setting a shorter course so people could get runs but I think it was mostly a washout by the sound of it.
Andy:
It wouldn't surprise me if I was in some of those old photos standing on the banking - good times!
