No sooner do we think the last round could be off, than the day is saved and its all back on again!
With many thanks to the Managment Team at Forrest Estate, they have kindly stepped in and offered us another opportunity to race at this very popular venue!
We can look forward using a different part of the estate from the previous round in June and will be racing 7 laps of a 6 mile course on the forest tracks!
Also your chance to see more of the estate before the Borders Hillrally! ;)
This will be a superb event to round off the 2012 season so please let us know if you are attending! We appreciate that with the Borders Hillrally being a week earlier this year this does place a bit more pressure on our competitors who are entering that event, please let us know if we can expect you there.
Please reply to this post to book your place, or give Alan Agnew a call.
The set up will take place on Saturday 20th October from 10.00am and camping is available on site from Friday night, in the large level hard standing service area. Please bring everything with you, including water!
Times:
Sunday 21st October - Scrutineering 08:30-09:30. Drivers briefing 09:45, Drive round 10:00 and first lap at 10:30. Break for Lunch 13:00 - 14:00, last start time 16:00
££££££:
Entry fee is £45.00 and a prize for the marshals draw!!!
Directions:
From the north - head down the M77 / A77 to Ayr then onto the A713 for 20 miles, entrance to the estate is on the right, it's signposted FORREST ESTATE and will be marked with orange arrows from the A713 then it is a single track road for 3 miles and follow orange arrows into service area. (about 1hr 20mins from Glasgow)
From the south - M6 / M74 exit at Lockerbie and head west on the A709 to Dumfries then A75 to Castle Douglas and north on the A713. Estate entrance on the left 2 miles after St Johns Town of Dalry.
For further information please call Sharon Scott on 07515 789100 or Alan Agnew on 07774 843473
If you can marshal at this event please call to confirm, all help will be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: Minor change of plan: As I need Sharon to sit in with Colin, to practice for my Hill Rally, I'd said I'd run this event for her... so contact Ian Stuart on 07811 378 826 or chairman (at) scottish-hillrally.co.uk rather than Sharon (who will return to the job next year!)

Anyone heading down from Stirling with room in the boot for person with tent? I'm trying to see if I can swap my work weekends round but will have to choose between this and the Borders Hilly Rally ( which I'm on hols for ;D ) for Driving down to..I can only fuel up for one of them >:( Must have fuel for some fun of my own, missed the last TYRO and driving day and after the weekend...I wanna drive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To be honest - the Borders needs over 200 people to make it run..... and I'd prefer you for that one, given the choice

200 people?! Clearly I've never been to the Hill Rally so wondering what 200 people are doing?! :o

Well..... think of a comp safari..... but bigger.... WAY bigger!
Timing crews, in-stage marshals (lots), HQ personnel, Ambulance teams (plural), recovery teams (several), scrutineers, doctors (multiple), etc.
To give you an idea of scale.... I always say you need to plan on a budget of about £15,000 to run a single-venue Hill Rally - more if you want to be generous, expansive, or add any frills like start gates....
-
I'm delighted to advise that thanks to all the confirmed entries, 14 so far! this event will be going ahead and the closely fought battle for the championship will be going down to the wire between the top 4 cars at this final round!
-
should now be able to make this..hitching a lift with Johnnie :) be grand to see everyone for the finishing round of the season!
-
For those competitors that haven't let me know that they are going to Forrest, could they please PM me or email me at coilantogle@gmail.com to let me know that they are entering!
Also as with any event to run we possibly can't do it without Marshalls! Apart from the Borders Hill Rally this will be your last opportunity to see any racing action this year. And what better way to spectate than to Marshall the stage aswell!
If you are able to Marshall email our chief marshal Jules Spicer at
general.email@jms-cs.co.uk or email myself at coilantogle@gmail.com
