Owain Evans and Marc Hughes on their way to second in class and Fourth overall on the Powys Lanes (Gary Jones)
We may be getting to the end of the year but the rallying action shows no sign of slowing down with events happening all over the country. Going back to the 28th of October the Visit Conwy Cambrian Rally took place in Llandudno. This 5 stage event would make up the sixth round of the welsh forest rally championship and would include a couple of club members on the entry list. At number 43 was Dafydd Evans who would sit with Ieuan Evans in Ieuan’s historic specification Mk2 Ford escort. They would be using this car on the up and coming Roger Albert Clark rally, and they were using this rally as a shakedown to familiarise themselves with the car and conditions of loose surface rallying. Also out was Gareth Bevan in his historic specification Mk2 Ford escort, he had Daniel Petrie on the notes.
The first of the five stages would be Elsie 1, at over 14 kilometres it was a great opening test for competitors. Ieuan and Dafydd got off to a great start in their escort, even though they were using the day as a test they still opened their event with the twentieth quickest overall time. Gareth and Bevan also got off to a great start with twenty-ninth quickest overall time. Ieuan and Dafydd were twenty-fourth on the second stage, Craig, and Gareth and Daniel were thirty-third.
