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!

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  ) 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

(Ian: Hill Rally Club chairman & SLROC comp organiser type committee member)

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

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

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....
