1998 Larkspeed League - Round 7

The entry for North Humberside Motor Club's single venue stage rally at Manby on Saturday 13th June, was low; why remains a mystery, holidays being the only deduction.

The venue is not always popular but it is not rough, particularly when using the concrete/tarmac due to rain as on Saturday

Out of a total of forty-one entries, thirty-seven competitors started the eight stage event in damp, showery conditions.

Sporting Escort Owners move up to second at the expense of Sheffield and Hallams hire and Y.S.C.C. North Humberside knock Huddersfield down two places. Beverley and David Brown hang on to a top ten place and Trackrod move to ninth.

Thank you to North Humberside for a friendly event, with plenty of give and take amongst competitors.

Time for a holiday break now, until Ilkley P.C.T. on the 26th July. Regulations not yet available.
