Get set for the final event of the 2012 season at Oulton Park this weekend, as stage rallying returns to Oulton Park for the first time in two decades. There’s still time to save money on the gate price with discounted advance tickets!
Over 90 cars have been entered for the rally, which will utilise sections of the Oulton Park circuit in both directions. Entries include historic cars, including classic Escorts, kit and sports cars, plus World Rally specials.
Expect lots of spectacular sideways action as the cars fly around the stages and the tension mounts as the event heads towards a thrilling conclusion in the autumn dusk!
The rally is being organised by Bolton-le-Moors Car Club and has taken a great deal of negotiating to win the approval of venue owners MSV.

Neil Howard was the Secretary of what was at the time B-le-M's Clubmans Rally, held at Aintree. He fell from the back of a vehicle whilst helping set up the stages. Sadly he never recovered and died from his injuries. His parents presented the Club with the trophy that bears his name. It acts as a memorial to Neil and also as a reminder to all competitors, marshals, officials and spectators alike of the perils faced in motorsport.

Wow! What a response. When we decided to go ahead with the Neil Howard Rally at Oulton Park we hoped that it would prove popular - having not been used for some time.
But nothing prepared us for the response that we got. The entry was full within days of the regs being made available. Not only was the entry full but we had a list of people queuing up in case anyone dropped out. To add to this a number of us who have been competing recently have been asked how people can get an entry.
Not only has the entry been filled it is also a quality entry with a number of WRC cars. Nigel Worswick will be running at car 1 in his Ford Escort WRC with John Indri in his Darrien T90 at 2 (fresh from his win on last weekend's Cheviot Stages). Running at 3 is Graham Coffey in a Subaru Impreza.
On top of the response from the competitors we also have a full complement of marshals with well over 100 attending.
For those of you not organising, marshalling or competing who wish to attend tickets for entry can be obtained on the gate or in advance at a reduced rate via the MSV web site.
