I had a fantastic two days at Drumclog!  A huge thanks to the Organisers + Marshall's and the competitors for a great course and some interesting sections around the course.  Also a huge thanks to Tony for being my navigator after his navigating duties with Johnnie came to an unexpected short end. 

Thanks again everybody

I would also like to thank all for a great weekend, especially all those who stayed out on the hill in that awful weather so I could finish all my laps
A big big thanks from billy and the Phillips clan

Yep, good day. It was our first attempt at Marshalling today and really enjoyed it. Pity about the weather, think I might be dreaming about wooden posts/arrows tonight though!

Great team effort to get everything packed up quick time!

Cheers

I agree with Ann, thanks to everyone who contributed to make Drumclog a fantastic event.  Great to see such a good turnout of competitors too as I think this is the best attended comp since Forrest Estate March 2008 when 24 teams took part.  Makes it more worthwhile for all the setup and marshals as they have a bit more to watch.  That's also the reason I used reverse gear on several occasions so that the spectators could get a better look at the car......

Thanks too go to Ann in car 35 for being polite enough to let me overtake about 500 yards from the finish.  I didnt feel comfortable with accepting this so felt compelled to spin the car at the last set of canes before the finish and let her pass me again.  Oops....

Finally, the next Scottish comp is at Forrest Estate on 16th and 17th June, the venue for the 2012 Hillrally.  I hope there will be another good turnout.  For those of you who have been before you may be in for a treat as a different course than before is under consideration.  For those who haven't been before I urge you to make the trip.  The course is unique in the SCCC calendar due to the gravel tracks, ample hard standing service area and the midges.  Two out of three ain't bad....

By the way the BCCC are at Forrest Estate on the previous weekend, 9th and 10th June and they would be grateful for as many people to assist with the marshalling as possible.  Perhaps a good opportunity for some of you to do a recce for the following weekend!

Thanks for all making us guys from Northern Ireland 4WD club welcome. A great event and some good fun had by all.

Sorry we had to leave early but Ferries wait for no man / woman. We got lucky the 2 ferries after the one we got were cancelled.

Anyway good to meet you all again and hopefully we will be back over soon.

Our next Comp event is on Sunday 27th May about 10 minutes from the Larne ferry port if anyone wants to come play let me know. Sharon has some of the details

Another brilliant event, great course complemented by a good number of competitors. As always many thanks to marshalls,( special thanks for towing us out) time control, organisers and anyone else involved. Thanks to Sharon and Michelle for taking care of Molly, she is becoming a bigger motorsport fanatic than me.

Some friends from work came to spectate and have commented on how very friendly and welcoming everbody is. Great advert for the club and the sport. See you at Forrest.

Nigel, was that the couple who's beds were a tad longer than their tent?

Yes Ian, that was them, I think they have already made arrangements to come to Forrest.

Perhaps the marshals need to add a blue flag to their collection.  (Overtaking)  On the vid you can see the Wildcat behind the Outlaw and clearly hear the Wildcats horn.  Bearing in mind that you cant even hear the Outlaws horn when you are in the Outlaw then there is no chance of hearing the car behind.  I had no idea the Wildcat was right behind me at that point.  Sorry for holding you up Alex but I did let you pass as soon as I saw you were there.  Ian (Pilot Custard) always reminds people at the drivers briefing that the horn is generally as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike.

2 tone siren trumps a normal car horn
