… Crail Stages Rally, Sat. 11th Nov. …
There’s a sort of end of term feel to the entry list for this Saturday’s Crail Stages Rally at Crail in the north east corner of Fife. There are a couple of interesting cars entered and you only have to look at Shaun Sinclair and Innes Mochrie’s entries to see what I mean plus there are one or two ‘new’ faces appearing in ‘different’ cars and one or two co-drivers sitting in the drivers’ chairs for this event.
Having said that there is serious purpose at stake. As the final round of the Blackwood Plant Hire Scottish Tarmack Championship there is the small question of National titles at stake
It would appear that Gareth White has already clinched the 2017 title in his Peugeot 208 as he cannot be caught and the same could be said for regualr co-driver, Harry Marchbank. Alan Kirkaldy is second in his Escort and Gordon Morrison third in his Subaru. However it would appear that third place is still up for grabs between Gordon, Ross Auld and Taylor Gibb. But then what do I know? The fiendish complexity of the points scoring system still defies me as did Algebreometry at school!
The same applies to the Co-driver’s championship. Calum MacPherson and Cameron Fair are tied on points for second but Jane Nicol is only 5 points adrift of that battle, but it would take more than a pocket calculator and a week alone in a quiet room for me to work out the permutations here as well. And this despite the patient explanations by both Trish and Davie.
Marc McCubbin has already clinched Class 0 while Class 1 is up for grabs between Marcus Tinsley and Jamie Miller. Greg Turner has Class 2 sewn up while the duel for Class 3 will be fought out between Ross Auld and Ross McCallum. And despite claims of skulduggery and favouritism the Class 4 winner is already confirmed as Dunfermline Car Club’s very own president Fergus Gray. Gordon Morrison and Taylor Gibb will also determine the outcome of Class 5.
So there will be much to see and savour at Crail with the first car due to hit the tarmac at 8.30am, but a word of caution to one and all. It’s November, wrap up warm.
