0 1 2 A VERY WARM WELCOME FROM THE ORGANISERS It is with great pleasure that we are once again able to present the Trackrod Forest Stages Rally, round 7 of the 2019 Jordan Roadsurfacing BTRDA® Rally Series together with the Maxxis Motorsport UK English, ANCC, ANWCC and the S G Petch ANECCC Rally Championships. In 2018 the event was awarded the Bill Turner award for best round of the 2018 BTRDA Rally Series and we hope to maintain the high standard of that event. Consequently, for 2019 we are pleased to be returning to the Yorkshire coast town of Filey. The Evron Centre in Filey, will play host to Rally Headquarters, where Documentation will take place, whilst Scrutineering will take place in the nearby Filey Brigg Country Park. Trackrod Motor Club has received brilliant support from Filey Town Council, Scarborough Borough Council and Welcome to Yorkshire enabling the Ceremonial finish to take place on The Beach (road). A tough and challenging day awaits competitors taking part in the Trackrod Forest Stages. Approximately 45 miles of prime stages is on offer, WITH NO DOUBLE USAGE including Dalby, Langdale, Cropton and Gale Rigg, (even the Trackrod Historic Cup has a different Friday night stage!). Road mileage is at a minimum for the event helped by the service area also being at Adderstone within Dalby Forest , you will know you have had a full day’s rallying!! We are also pleased to announce that we will be implementing the following running order. First on the road will be all 2WD competitors together with any historic 4WD cars. These competitors will run in reverse order of anticipated performance. There will then be a 5 minute gap before the 4WD cars, running in order of anticipated performance. We will also try to run classes together, where it is reasonable to do so, as we do understand the “camaraderie” which is essential to our sport. For 2019, as in recent years, all awards will be presented at the Finish Ramp, enabling everyone to start their journey home as soon as possible. Entries are via our on-line entry system with entry fees payable by bank transfer or credit/debit card - please see our website: www.rallyyorkshire.co.uk - we can always accept cheques as well if needed! PLEASE ENTER EARLY - WE PROMISE A FULL REFUND OF YOUR ENTRY FEE IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO COMPETE - PROVIDING YOU TELL US BEFORE THE EVENT!!!
