[speedsport]

"Didn't we have a lurverly day the day we went to Bangor?"

Well, not quite Bangor, but we're off to sunny (hopefully) North Wales for the final stage on the Rally of the Tests on Sunday 23rd November. We shall be running the start & finish controls at the Great Orme, Llandudno, just half a mile from the finish of the rally.

This is one of the UK's best Classic Rallies, with a superb range of cars taking part. More background info & video clips at www.classicrally.org.uk/rott2008/index.html

Set up before lunch, then first car 14:00 (ish), last car around 16:30.

UPDATE

We are meeting up on the Marine Drive, Llandudno, between the Pier & the Toll Booth at 12.00 midday on Sunday 23rd November.

The test will be run clockwise, and LMC crews will be manning the test start (at the bottom of the zig-zag road from the top of the Orme finish) and the finish (exact location TBC, but we think it's at the Marine Drive toll booth). This is a non-spectator test.

The road closes to the public at 13:38
First car : 14:39
Last car : 16:37
Rally finish on the prom from 14:45 approx

If you want to help, please give Jim Bebby a ring, see details above.

And a great time was had by all...... ;D David Mitchell was commander (I've always thought that Range Rover drivers had the appearance of commanding a ship, so now we know it's true!) and despite the organisers best efforts, the tests around the Great Orme ran extremely well.
The camaraderie was superb, some of the crews were trying, & some were REALLY trying! ;D

Great cars, great venue despite the sea spray and the strong extremely cold on-shore breeze. Quite bracing! We must do it again some time! ;D

Quote of the day? "WOW - just look at the size of those snow flakes"
