Something that Dave has wanted to do for 25 years!

If you have read the How we started page, you will already know that Dave was well known in the 70s for stage rallying This was one event that he always used to enjoy.
 Dave and the Rally Tech team had a very warm welcome back to this event by the 3 Counties Motor club. Many members remembered him from the past and were cheering him along all day.

A very successful day.

Dave came third in his class and 20th overall. This was a very good finishing result that Dave was really pleased with, as most of the cars in front were the 4x4s that had the advantage because of the weather!

Many thanks again to the 3 Counties Motorclub for an enjoyable day, and special thanks to Andy for navigating and to Paul and Scott for servicing. Hard luck  to Jumbo who couldn’t be there due to his work taking him abroad!
