Irish Duo takes victory at 2010 Sportsclassic Rallysprint

Aidan Falvey and Paul Crehan, driving the ex- Kevin Shaw ARC Evo 7 dominated the field to take victory at the 2010 Sportsclassic Rallysprint. The stages used, Wills Fire Trail/Fletchers and Old Highway/Bridge Creek Roads suited the crew to win the event by 29 seconds.

Second outright was Jon Waterhouse and Carolyn Wilson from Canberra driving a Subaru Impreza WRX and 3rd, club member Jamie Neale in the VR4. The biggest talking point of the event was the speed of club member Adam Casmiri in the Honda Civic and he should be a force up at Myall Stages.

Of the other club members, Dean Lockeridge driving his Datsun 1600 came in a credible 7th O/R, just being pipped by Frank Neale. Paul Newman with his son Shaun came in 9th in the new Evo purchased. Greg Foord, came 12th in the Datsun Bluebird.

Full results can be found here.

To all the officials from both NDDC and SKDAC, thank you for all the efforts. We are looking at our options for 2011 and hopefully we can continue this event for future years to come.

Gearbox woes hamper Neale at Shannons Safari Rally

Club member Jamie Neale recent spate of good results came to an abrupt halt at Round 3 of the Autotech ACT Regional Rally Series. Neale was car 2 on the road following championship leader John Stilling in his Evo 9.

"I got smoked in SS1 by JS - 31secs in 8k's". In SS2, Neale commented that he had a "binding up/breaking down" within most of the stage which came and went. "There were a few hills we only just crawled up in 1st and dropped 2 minutes". Neale said.

Neale's Service crew worked hard to find the issue, which was finally resolved when the 5th gear slider came out the side of the gearbox with a bang

Neale currently holds 3rd O/R in the battle for the 2010 ACT Regional Rally Series Gold Cup
