Starting from the M20 Maidstone Services, the event will be run to the same format, but limited to 12 cars, so early entry is essential for the best chance of obtaining a place.

BBO 100 Results
Ten of the eleven starters completed the 99.9 mile route devised by David Kirkham. The 28 marshals watching over the 22 competitors enjoyed the only good weather of the holiday weekend. The eventual winners were Andy Jess and Richard Learner in the Sunbeam Alpine with the MGB GT mounted Eric Richardson and James Page a not too distant second. As this was James' very first event he no doubt had a guiding hand from Eric who is now normally seen behind a lens.
In a creditable 4th overall was the best of the 'least experience' crews, Mark Jarvis and Roger Chenery in the luxury of a Humber Sceptre.

Essex 100 Results
The HRCR 100 series of novice-oriented regularity rallies continued its successful run on March 29 with the staging of the Essex 100 Rally. Like the Kent and Yorkshire equivalents entries were aplenty and 12 crews assembled at Ray Crowther's home to tackle four regularities in mid-Essex.
Essex is not known as a county for interesting roads but the 100-mile route - all within an eight-mile radius of Witham - used just about every quiet yellow in the area.
Keeping the navigation straightforward is a theme of the "100s" so that crews can hone their timing skills and regularity 1 used a tulip road book to guide competitors northwards to Marks Hall Arboretum for a mid-morning break. A Jogularity took crews to lunch at tea-rooms just outside Hatfield Peverel. Keeping west of Maldon a marked map led to an afternoon halt at a Jaguar specialist, whose showroom of prestige cars was outstanding in numbers and value. For the last regularity, a plot of gridlines and spot heights was required which looped crews around the Totham villages before heading back to Tolleshunt Major for "Crow" hospitality, results and awards.
Andy Jess and Richard Learner in their Sunbeam Alpine took victory having led from start to finish. Malcolm Jones/Richard Dresner (Aston Martin DB4) took second with Keith Edwards/Alan Richardson (Rover P6B) third.
One interesting point from the day: Priscilla and Jo Llewelyn in their red MGA had a fraught Essex 100 and just made the finish within OTL; but there was no stopping them in the post-rally treasure hunt on foot when they emerged as clear winners with a perfect score and took home the treasure!

Yorkshire 100 Results
The Yorkshire 100 event started from a venue on the A59 just west of Harrogate. It was broken into four legs of 25 miles each, punctuated by coffee, lunch and afternoon tea halts at well-known tourist venues.
Much of the route was chosen for its scenic value although all but two miles was outside of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Each leg had about 10-12 miles of wide-road regularity followed by a more meandering but untimed navigation section.
The event finished near Pateley Bridge, at a pub that is known for its range of good-value home-cooked food as well as its range of fine ales.
Navigation was entirely by marked maps and by a comprehensive tulip road book produced by Clerk of the Course Stan Appleton.

Kent 100 Results
The first HRCR 100 Rally was run over a 100-mile scenic route around the quiet roads of SE Kent on Saturday 19th January, with the route navigation and four regularity sections specifically designed to be easy for first-timers and novices.
Starting at 10am from The Woolpack Inn, on the A20 at Hothfield, near Ashford, refreshment breaks were taken at the Woodchurch Rare Breeds Centre and at Lydd Airport, finally finishing back at The Woolpack at 3.30pm.
All 21 cars that were entered completed the route, with several relative newcomers surprising themselves at how low their regularity penalties were. Prizes for the Best Beginners were awarded to Terry and Jenny Fox who finished 5th overall with only 65 seconds dropped over the 11 timing points in their Volvo P1800 on their second ever rally.
Overall winners, who could in no way be considered newcomers, were Charles Harrison and Chris Powis in a Trimph 2000 on only 33 seconds lost, while second placed crew was Graham Mayes and Keith Howard in the oldest car on the event, a 1958 MG Magnette on 37 seconds.
