Two Club Triumph crews were out on Friday night in the opening event of CMC's Winter Rally Series. This event started in NE Essex and wandered across the countryside to the west of Ipswich to Sudbury, and back again, using some of the most perfect "rally roads" you can find in this area. Nice and fast, remote from housing, most with grass humps in the middle which admittedly did test the underside of our Spitfire quite a bit. Dust was a bit of a problem for visibility in some lanes as we were picking up the cloud left by the car in front. Not quite as much as a problem though as losing main beam halfway though Section 1. Dip was okay, and luckily the spots still worked (relayed off the main beam switch contacts), so we did most of the rally knowing what was 100yds ahead but not right in front of us, which slowed us down a bit. Steve and Colin in the Mk1 Saloon were running close with us at times, and both crews finished at similar times, 24mins for Mark and myself and 26mins for Steve and Colin. However, Steve and Colin were sharper eyed that we were and saw one more code board than we did and therefore took the CT "win". Well done to them. Results were: Steve Radley/Colin Wake - Mk1 Saloon - 1F 26mins - 4th overall - 1st CT Mike Banks/Mark Rutter - Mk3 Spitfire - 2F 24mins - 5th overall - 2nd CT. (overall event winners were in a MG-ZR on 0F 19mins) The next event in the CT Rallies Mini-Series is another CMC event on the 26th October.
