The Rally Corner

by Reinout Vogt


We have the Lucas Memorial Night Rally behind us and you should find a detailed report elsewhere in our favorite MG newsletter, Driveline. (see my plea in the July issue) Thus, I can limit this article to the changes this brought to the Championship standings. And changes there are. In the Driver category, Scott Anderson took the lead from Curt Bork. Other changes because Kim & Diane Tonry drove an almost perfect rally and came in first, and Don Anderson navigated for Scott and didn't accumulate any driver's points.

In the co-driver's or navigator standings, Vicki Palmer and Diane Tonry are now tied for first place, and note the ties for 2nd and 3rd as well.

Although this summer has presented as much MG top down touring weather as we may expect, I do miss some of previous year's rallies. As you know, the Gooselake Picnic & Rally and the North Shore Rally have disappeared from the calendar. And despite the busy summer with several 'other' events (the last University Motors Late Summer Party, an extra Autocross, the Driving School, and the Just Brits Picnic) I would like to hear from you if we should try to put some more rallies in the 2000 summer months, or would you prefer non-competitive driving events, such as dinner cruises ?

Further, I have received a couple of suggestions to change the point systems; to even the chances in Autocrosses, and to offer more equal opportunities to win rallies in general. Also for this I would like to know what your ideas are; are changes necessary, if so, what would you like to see. Keep in mind, this is your club, your championship and your Rallies and Autocrosses. Please let me hear from you !

MGreetings and see you at The British Car Festival or more importantly, The Siemens Autocross on October 17th, The Halloween Rally on November 7th or in the next newsletter and remember,

"Drive It"
