Club Triumph

Can we develop a list of contacts amongst club members who are keen to do Historic Rallies?
People can PM directly re offers of teaming up for certain events but a list here of those interested might be useful.
I would suggest we state whether interested in driving or navigating - or both.
What car we drive.
What experience we have
What licences we hold.
Roughly where we live
What events we're interested in.
So:

Glaramaraman is a driver of a 1969 MKII GT6 with Brantz trip and clock I am GT6 MkII 1969: LeJoG 2004; 2nd o/a Tour of Cheshire 2007; 2nd o/a Cloverleaf Rally 2008, 5th o/a & 1st in Class - HRCR Clubmans Championship 2008; 1st Tour of Cheshre 2009
Spitfire MKIV 1500 1973: LCC 2007, 10CR 2007, Runner Up Club Triumph Drivers Championship 2007.

I think it's very useful Neil and I'll recommend the thread to the CompSec

In the meantime, I'll also reply and use the powers invested in me as an "Admin" to make this a sticky thread, (at least until an alternative comes up or I get told off) so it doesn't get lost.

TR7 FHC Sprint tarmac rally car (or will be in a couple of years)
Experience - Road and stage rallying in the eighties, done CT long distance road events, a recent road rally (first novice), quite a few autotests now (no good at them mind) and started to do one or two NESCRO events.

No competition licence held at the moment and likely to stay that way until 2009.
Live in the north but have been known to go all over Europe for the right event!
Interested in NESCRO events 2007/2008, HRCR northern stage rally championship in 2009 and the British Historic Rally Championship in 2010 - tarmac stage rallies only.

As with Glaramaman - car prep costs etc down to me, co-driver expected to share entry fees (unless I get a sponsor ), fuel costs, accomodation etc

Thanks Raider
I thought perhaps you'd be one either looking for a nav or offering to nav on some events - the southern boys seem to be having lots of rally fun.

i've been looking at the HRCR clubman events ...hopefully towards the end of the year funds will allow me to do one ..there's one in Bogner in october
We've been learning some of the basic nav skills on the BCC mini rallies..but it's still a learning curve ...would prob want to do one or two on our own before we put ourselves forward to be of any help to anyone else

I forgot to add that I am only really interested in driving tho I suspect my navigational skills would be better than my driving skills

Neil, I don't think I can find time to start navigating myself as I need to continue prepping BRP and running a CT area.

As regards wanting a navigator - well Rumpith will be navigating for me on La Carrera, possibly my daughter Rebecca on the Little Devils and on an autotest or two.

Long term tho I do need to settle down onto a navigator for stage rallying - Mr Bancroft has first call on that

AJP here  various sheds (1967 2000 mk1 in rally trim at the moment)
National B license (driver)
Used to live in Cumbria
previous events
2000-London Lisbon
2001-World Cup Rally ( London Sahara London )
2004-2005 6 off HRCR road rallies,3 off continental rally tour events and a couple of night rallies with various clubs up and down the country
Best result second in class 2004 Targa Rusticana
Now living in Devon more than likely to do some local events begining of next year (life a bit barmy at the moment!)

Would love to see a " CT Rally" evolve over the next few years

Hi ajp
Good to see more classic rally enthusiasts - great idea about a CT Rally - isn't that almost what Carrera Caledonia is turning into?
What happened to your Round Britain GT6 - shedtune.co etc doesn't say. There's a guy from Kent rallying a mk1 2000 on the hrcr circuit at present.

I'm a bit surprised there's not been more response  to this thread - anyone else lurking out there?

Borrowdale Valley near Keswick.

Got a bit of work on - GT6 just come back with a MOT failure list.

Cracks in the inner wheelarch too close to seat belt mounts most seriuos of them - I think these are caused by transverse stress due to fitted roll cage. Sounds like I'll be selling another child.

Hope to have them sorted soon but until then I'll content myself with the spitfire.

Three Castles Rally are looking for willing marshalls at the moment.

Let me know if I can help with any rally advice

GT6 John

Tell you what might be usefull I will put some still pics up on http://www.shedtune.co.uk of car prep etc If people wanted to send me some of theirs it serves as a usefull guide to others preparing cars?

Car prep??? 

I can send a piccie of me filling up with fuel on my way to an event if you like...

You mean there's more to it than that?

Hi

I am happy to do occasionally navigate, currently working on getting the vitesse back on the road

have navigated on a couple of Nescro events and 3 HRCR type events, still a novice but getting the hang of regularity timing and plot and bash.

I made my first foray into rallying last year - albeit on a local level down here in Essex! 

Our club (De-Lado Motor Club) hold monthly events just up the road from me (dead handy eh!).  Stages are around 2 miles long, we run 6-8 in a day.  We also run a Rally Acadamy for teenage hopefuls, and have several who compete regularly.

I'm currently driving a Pug 205Gti, had big plans to start prepping a Triumph over last winter, but hav'nt quite found the time to start yet!  Season started last Sunday, had a wicked day - put in quickest time outright for the first stage of the day and came second overall at the end, keeping up with the Mk1 & Mk2 Escort boys!

Guess the Pug is too modern for Historic Rallying?

Had my first rally of the season last w/end - amazed myself (and everyone else!) http://triumphandadversity.blogspot.com

Hi,
My name is Nassos Sarris and I am the General Secretary of the Triumph Sports Club of Greece
I am into Classic Regularity rallies for the last 3 years.
3 times in a row we took part in the Historic Acropolis Rally and quite a few times in other classic rallies here in Greece
We usually use my Mk2 Spitfire '66 while at the moment we are preparing my Mk1 GT6 '67 (both cars are RHD)
We use the full mechanical Belmogtwin MkII and the Brantz Variable Timebase. (If we are not allowed to use the Brantz V.T. then we work with the printed timtetables with no problems at all.)
Best moments: our 4th Overall and 2nd in our Category in "Apollonio Rally 2006" and 7th Overall and 1st in our category in "Rally Danaon 2006"
In Acropolis 2007 we were 12th overall when we had a problem (broken s/s braided brake hose ) and we lost a whole day! Then we did manage to finish 2nd from the... bottom
I have been only once on the navigators seat... but I have to admit that I really love it!
