Gremlin & Tour of Epynt
Sunday, 4 March 2007
Brecon Motor Clubs big night event of the year, the Old Forge Garage Gremlin Rally, went off without a hitch at the weekend with Denis & James putting on another epic route which took in Abergwesyn and the Elan Valley. Glyn Price and Iwan Jones took a good win in their Escort but BMC stars of the night were Dai 'Block' Jones and Glyn Price who overcame their Bro Caron problems to bring their Pug home in an excellent 4th overall. Elsewhere Phil Jones and Craig also put in a stunning performance to bring their 1 litre Nissan Micra home 18th overall and 1st novice. Mike Jones and Robin 'Crikey' Moses were a safe 24th with Alwyn Arrowsmith and Dale Bowen 32nd in the lovely Escort. Wayne Palmer and Garth Ralph used a Vauxhall Frontera and managed to get it to the finish in 37th. Will Arrowsmith and Matthew Farr investigated the scenery, liked it and didn't bother to finish whilst John Williams & Josh Jones simply went missing.
The Tour of Epynt was shaping up to be a memorable event but unfortunately it looks set to be remembered for the wrong reasons. Martin Jones was competing with Bob Fowden in his Subaru for the first time and was set for 7th place after a time penalty dropped them from 2nd overall. All this became academic as a row about fuel samples ensued and a number of competitors were excluded including Fowden. See MSN this week for updates!
Chris Phillips was also out albeit on four wheels for a change and they finished 25th overall in what were terrible weather conditions, rain and high winds making driving difficult.
