JJ Brown Memorial Rally 09/10 December 2017

After weeks of planning the route and time schedule, preparing the paperwork and ironing out a few PR issues, the main consideration in the days before the event was the weather! The forecast for the weekend of the rally was not good, with a prediction for heavy Annual Dinner & Awards falls of snow over north Wales and on Friday there were Presentation Evening. concerns for some parts of the route on higher ground. th By Saturday morning there was some improvement, but The Annual Dinner will be held on Saturday, 17 plans were put in place to cancel sections and issue re- February 2018, at the Victoria Hotel, Menai route instructions to the crews should the need arise. Bridge - 7.00 pm for 7.30 pm. Members wishing to attend should book their

Williams/Huw Manion at 4, both also in Mark 2s.

Indeed, nine of the first eleven cars away were Mark 2 See Menu below

Escorts.

First of the semi-experts at number 21 were Steffan

Llewelyn/Gethin Povey in a Corsa, followed by Dan www.camconline.co.uk Williams/Rhian Sanson (Escort Mk2) and Gruffydd

Jones/Bryn Jones (Nova). First novices away at 37 or find us on www.Facebook.com were Mark Williams/Robin Evans (Honda Civic),

followed by Patrick Brennan/Gavin Thompson (Toyota caernarvonshireandangleseymotorclub @ Celica) and Tomos Parry/Michael Roberts (Peugeot 106

GTi).

The first competitive section from Llanddeiniolen to

Brynrefail had to be cancelled after an incident caused a significant delay to some of the novice crews. Section two was over Clegir from Llanberis, quickly followed by a third section south of Llanrug to Ceunant. Section four took crews from Waunfawr over to Rhosgadfan, followed by section five to the north of Groeslon. Then came the longest section of the rally, almost twenty miles from Nebo and over the A487, south and west via Mynachdy Gwyn, then east via Llecheiddior and south-west to end near Llanarmon. Fuel was available at Glan-y- Don, Pwllheli, with a Time Recovery stop at Y Ffôr. At this point the lead was held by Gavin Edwards/Daniel Jones on 1 minute 21 seconds penalties, nine seconds ahead of Steven Williams/Huw Manion with the Escort of Elgan Williams/Ianto Jones (Car 6) a further 36 seconds back. Leading the semi experts were Gwynfor Jones/Chris Evans in their Ford Escort Mk2 (Car 24) on 2m 55s and ahead in the novice class was Car 39, the Peugeot 106 of Tomos Parry/ Michael Roberts on 4m 46s. Three more competitive sections took competitors back north towards Llanaelhaearn; then from Clynnog Fawr to Pontllyfni and the infamous Pont-y- Cim, before the final leg – a kind of sting-in-the-tail nine miler - from near Llandwrog, taking in Saron and Foryd to Caernarfon, before crews could relax and go on to the finish and breakfast back at Plas Menai. There were 31 classified finishers when results were declared final. The early leaders had maintained their position, losing only another four seconds and extending the gap to 51 seconds. Geraint Williams/Aron Jones had moved up to third, having been in sixth position at the petrol halt. Congratulations to all the award winners and to Clerk of the Course, Peredur Davies, and his team for running a successful event and a huge thanks to all the marshals, some of whom endured quite challenging conditions on a very cold wintery night.

No calls after 9pm members to blow away the cobwebs with a visit to Trac

Môn/Anglesey Circuit. After an eventful Rally Trackday at the

Autotest Results circuit on Friday my 50 shades of grey Fiesta was out of

action following an over ambitious entry into a chicane, due 1 David Jones Micra 1000 A 5 1st A 11 Joshua Jones MX5 1598 D 6 2nd D to Ben Jones giving me a bit too much encouragement .

37 Dafydd Corsa 1600 C 4 2nd C College PCA, I was surprised that he trusted me to drive it Roberts 38 Jeff Buchanan MX5 1600 D 7 3rd D once again. (Someone should check his head!!) 41 Alex Marsh Volvo 940 2300 B 9 2nd B 42 James Volvo 960 3000 B 8 1st B Kirkwood Saturday morning arrived and I had no passenger and, 43 Edward Volvo 940 2000 B 9 2nd B looking at the field of competitors in the Autotest section,

including the the Blitz special of Dave and Joe Evans, the Corsas of Lee Mathews and Dafs Roberts, as well as the Dave 'Stavros' Jones in the Mighty Micra, it was not such an attractive option. So the search for a passenger was on! After a quick look around the paddock I discovered that Ieuan also had an empty seat in the Clio, so we decided to sit in with each other in order to compete in the PCA section of the event. There were six test areas and the first test of the day for me was the Old Pit Lane where Tecs was marshalling and, after using my first two attempts to get reacquainted with the rapid Fiesta, by my third attempt I had a respectable time of 101.00. It was then on to the tandem test, where the Jos family was marshalling. Running two identical tests side by side made thing very interesting, but I may have got a bit preoccupied concentrating on Deio on the opposite test, so the times and a few cones may have suffered. In the Clio the lack of handbrake was proving difficult but the power of the 182 provided plenty of wheel spin and tyre smoke to liven things up a bit.

It was then up to the 'Yump' test marshalled by Rhian and Gwyn. This was a nice flowing test giving an excellent photo opportunity for Islwyn whose photos were then going to be sent to award winners instead of a traditional trophy. After the 'Yump' it was down to test site 'A' in front of the New Pit Lane manned by Nigal and after a hopeless first run picking up 3 line faults, I then managed to get two identical times 98.87 seconds. My final test of day was test site B manned by Ifor. This fast flowing test provided the opportunity for a little bit of popping of rev limiter toward the end of slalom and somehow, on my final attempt of the test I managed to set the fastest time of all the PCA competitors, with only the Blitz special setting a faster time on this test from the entire entry. With daylight quickly disappearing, a small team were left to clear up as many were heading home following a long day’s motorsport and w ith most competitors gone, a long a tense wait followed for Gavin to finish compiling the results.

Once completed, the results showed that Neil Jones in his Mazda Mx-5 had set a consistently quick pace all day and had taken the overall PCA win by an unbelievable 29 seconds. The next question was which Fiesta was fastest, was it myself, Carey or Ben? The results showed myself and Ieuan 2nd O/A, 11 seconds ahead of Carey Lindley with Iolo Hughes at 3rd overall. Carey and Iolo, were dressed as a Nun and a Reindeer, and took the award for fastest crew in fancy dress (only crew in fancy dress). Fourth overall was taken by 15 year old Ben Jones, navigated by Guto Roberts in the blue Fiesta, who had only started autotesting on this event last year and was able to hold his own in the strong field of 32 starters. Expect big things. The Autotest event was won by Dave Evans in the Blitz special, followed by Joe Evans, also in the Blitz special. Third place was taken by Lee Mathews in the Corsa.

Thanks to Jamie for organising another great event and for allowing me to borrow the 'Red Rocket'. Thanks to all the

marshals who stood out all day in the cold wind: Nigal, Ifor, Tecs, Rob, Catrin, Laura, Rhian and Gwyn. And also thanks

to Gavin for compiling the

results.
