Henry Lawson Memorial Rally

[Rally Angel]

Preliminary Details
- Round 2 of the SA Clubman Series
- Round 2 of the SA Hyundai Rally Series
- Introductory Rally

The Henry Lawson Memorial Rally will be run on July 28th and will start and finish in Kapunda. Intro competitors and Clubman/Hyundai competitors will both face a challenging course over some roads not used for a number of years.

The first Intro car is due out at 12noon and the first Clubman/Hyundai at around 1.30pm. The event is a slightly different format to what we normally expect.

Intro's: 7 sections including 5 closed roads
Cubman's/Hyundai: 10 closed road sections

Entry fees are set at $120 for Intro and $160 for Clubman/Hyundai before the early entry cut off date. Add another $30 for entries up to the close.

Competitive distance for Intro is around 120km while Clubman/Hyundai get nearly 80km.

[Crazy Dave]

Competitive distance for Intro is around 120km while Clubman/Hyundai get nearly 80km.

Is that right, intro event is longer than clubman/hyundai event. Is it all closed stage blind rally or does it involve other things.

[TPRTEL]

I do believe that is correct, Clubman/Excels are all road book (first road book event since 2005) and closed roads and the intro is navigational/road book.

Hiya all,

It is with great regret (and a massive dose of Sod's Law now that the supp
regs are out), that I have to say, the HLMR has been postponed to around the
end of Sept/Oct because the Light Council have had too much rain recently,
and are worried about road wear (as decided at their council meeting last
night).

So yes, the event will run still, as the council do want the event, just not
this month!.. Keep your eyes peeled for a new date.

Thanks to all those who offered to help!

Cheers,

Harrie.

Hello All,

I have just got off the phone with Michael Clements, he informs me that the ASP Kuitpo Forest rally is cancelled due to the force majure situation, of a total fire ban.

After discussions with the regional council of Light (second rejection of road closure Permission), the HENRY LAWSON MEMORIAL RALLY is also cancelled for 2007.

THE UPSHOT OF THIS FOR CLUBMAN COMPETITORS IS;

The offer from SDCC that all competitors entered in the ASP Kuitpo forest rally, will be given entry into the Adelaide Hills Tarmac Sprint on Sunday 28th October, IS AN OFFER TO TAKE UP as there are no other clubman rounds planned.

SO GO AND HAVE A BLAST ON SOME ROADS THAT CLASSIC ADELAIDE USE, AND GIVE THE SPECTATORS ON SUNDAY SOMETHING TO WATCH.

Cheers

Andrew Challen,

Clerk of Course
