NOTES 19TH AUGUST 2002
Maiden
City MC
is organising a "Multi Use Rally" at Aghadowey on Bank
Holiday Monday 26th August. There are still some places
left for the mainly tarmac 20 stage miles and the man to contact
is John McIvor on 028 777 65131.
Michael
Gibson
has been released from Altnagevlin Hospital and is well on the
road to recovery after suffering a fractured vertebra in an
accident on the Dogleap Rally. He will be out of action for
about 6 weeks.
Monaghan
MC
has suddenly been granted a permit to run a low cost, restricted
to 2 litre, single tarmac stage, repeated three times, rally on
29th September. Any spare revenue from the event will be sent to
the Motorsport Ireland Benevolent Fund.
The 14th/15th September Wexford Rally is being re-named the Dick
Bailey Stages Rally in memory of the driver who died earlier this
year.
Tim
McNulty,
driving the ex Bertie Fisher Subaru, is named as No 1 seed for
the Castle Hellfire Rally based in the Castle Manor Hotel in
Virginia on Sunday 8th September. Breen MacNamee, who is
incidentally leading his class on the Dunlop National series, is
Clerk of the Course and Rory Galligan is deputy. Peugeot works
driver Rory will travel straight on from the Ulster for the
Sunday event, where the action is based around his home town of
Oldcastle.
Magherafelt

is running an interesting event this Saturday, a rally time
trial on 2 miles of the Banagher stage, a brilliant stretch along
the side of the river. Eugene Donnelly in his Celica, Kieran Shaw
in his Escort WRC and Andy Magee in his Mk2 Escort are just some
of the top entries.
Regards, Brian Patterson.
