Kingsmead Forest Rally - 1st July 2006

img The Kingsmead Forest stages were held at the Conrhenny plantation and followed the single venue event format.
We awoke to a dry sunny day, which left the stages with some damp patches under the trees but very dusty everywhere else.
Our second rally, first forest event we struck problems on the very first stage (first corner).
We broke an engine mount and the expansion tank worked its way loose, which dropped onto the gear linkage, and left us with only second gear for the first stage.
For the second stage we had to wedge a piece of wood between the sump guard and the sump to hold the engine and gearbox up and strapped the expansion tank back on. For the rest of the stages we burst the exhaust and had a puncture, it just wasn’t our rally. The remainder of the stages we took it easy just to get a finish.
Our last stage was the quickest as we were eight quickest, shame we didn’t do that from the start. We finished thirteenth and third in class C.
