Great to see three entries in the "Seniors Class" :potstir: :)

Hope i'm not one of the three "seniors" John I'm not that old (yet)

[Grumblebum]

Sorry Danny the CLASS is for seniors only--by invitation. Just reading the entry list it seems that most if not all are Victorians?? The good news is that the Grumbomobile is almost ready and hopefully will complete the entire event:clap: The EGS was a little expensive 20K's completed at around $100 per K and counting:(
Regards Pete

Sorry Danny,
As discussed, you don't quite meet the requirements for joining the Seniors Elite Group. Give it a few more years and you will qualify. :potstir:

Well done everyone at the EGS. Good to see the Excels shone at the Spectator point with many of them putting on a good show (great footage of the Excels at the Spectator point) :clap:

Need to get some night goggles (night sessions were not the fastest).:slap: Does anyone know where to source some from? :spank:

A quick notice that entries for the Bega Valley Rally close at 6pm next Wednesday 2 June (less than a week now!), not the usual Friday night close! Hopefully, nobody will get caught short by this change which has been designed to improve the administration and preparations for the event.

Plus . . . anyone who wants the very smart-looking Bega merchandise (beanies/caps/polos/jackets etc) needs to order by end of this week to allow time for it to be produced and sent in time for the event. Orders received by Friday night can be either posted direct to you or collected round at Bega. After that, delivery will only be by post and may not arrive prior to the event.

All details can be found at www.begavalley.rally.com (http://www.begavalley.rally.com)

Officials are also needed so if you are going and not servicing or competing Steuart would love to hear from you.

Just thought some of those that can't make the trip might be interested to keep up-to-date on the progression of the Excels on Sunday.

Apparently the following link should take you to unofficial results as the stages progress. (Copied from the further regs)

STAGE TIMES ON WEBSITE
Separate to the scoring above, a results sweep will travel at rear of the field and transmit data back to HQ via the internet. At HQ the data will be accessed from the internet, compiled, and then publish the stage times to the website at:

www.rallyresults.com.au/rally2010/bega (http://www.rallyresults.com.au/rally2010/bega)

The website will be in same format of ARC results & viewed at www.rallyresults.com.au/arc/2010/nsw (http://www.rallyresults.com.au/arc/2010/nsw)
This will NOT be the official event results site, but checks will be made to align the results with those produced by the scorer. The website will however provide early indication of stage times, and unofficial classification. Once Provisional & Final results are produced, copies of these will be posted to the website.

Car numbers of the Excels are;
31 Steven and Jason
46 Tony and Nikki
47 Danny and Ricki-Lee
48 Peter and Sue
49 JohnC and Stuart
50 Daniel and Cathy
53 Kim and Sandra
58 Senior Grumbo

[Grumblebum]

Yo Dont write off Grumbo just yet even starting stone motherless LAST at #58-at least I wont have to look in the rear vision mirror for competitors just keep an eye out for the fast sweep. Also as an added bonus we'll know your times:lmao:

I think he might have got his fuel calculations wrong.

That's enough fuel for 20 excels for 20 years JC!
