Successful BBO 100
The BBO 100 ran for the 3rd time in early August with a full entry of 20 cars (and 2 reserves), although aimed at novice crews, it was noticable that most cars one old hand on board. Five Regularity sections were planned and two rest halts, starting in Oxfordshire visiting Buckinghamshire (briefly), Berkshire and even Hampshire.
Navigators had plenty of plotting to think about and had to cope with NAM triangles, secret checks as well as 'Road Closed' signs. Two grass driving tests were also included. A large band of BBO luminaries (to whom thanks are due) were out marshaling at 33 different locations and completed 650 time card entries! Last years winning combination of Mower/Beeson again triumphed this year in a TR3 - but they were the most experienced crew.
1. Terry Mower/Paul Beeson (1954 Triumph TR2) 425
2. John Cotterell/John Broughall (1967 Austin A40) 623
3. Stephen Hall/Duncan Brown (1972 Lotus Elan) 669
4. Helen Scott/David Burton (1968 Morris Minor) 697
5. Anthony Garside/David Holmes (1967 MGB) 701

Kent 100 Rally
Entrants in the HRCR Kent 100 Rally on Saturday 24th July enjoyed a pleasant drive around the Weald of Kent, via four regularity sections and a lunch stop at the Rare Breeds Centre, Woodchurch. With a clear roadbook using tulips, jogularity and marked maps, all cars stayed on the correct route and found all the regularity controls close to their due times. A wrong slot just before lunch by Ken Watts & Tom Ash cost them 70 points but with only 25 points penalty spread over the remaining 12 controls they managed to win by a 5 second margin.
1. Ken Watts/Tom Ash (Volvo Amazon) 95
2. Michael Helm/Colin Wake (Triumph TR6) 100
3. Lee Busbridge/Craig McGurk (Morris Marina) 138
4. Tim Adams/Sue Adams (Mini) 215

The 60-mile route usually has a half-way coffee stop and finishes at a nice country pub where a roast dinner is available. The format is always simple regularity suitable for novices, with the route either pre-plotted at home (route plotting instructions emailed with final instructions) or given out in easy 'ready-to-go' format (tulips, jogularity or marked maps).

The Metric Services Jubilee Rally
Sunday 13th September saw Loughborough Car Club celebrating its 50th year by running a 100 series regularity rally combined with grass Autotests. 16 ‘classic' cars, with an age span of 50 years gathered for bacon butties and signing on at the clubs habitual autotest & gymkhana site "Paddies Lane". A short regularity loop started the event in the classic lanes of North East Leicestershire. Two subsequent loops including one in the Vale of Belvoir saw another three regularity sections, each to a different format . The Naviation was set for novice crews but the experts were presented with progressively more challenges through the loops. After each loop, competitors returned to Paddies Lane for three flowing tests on smooth grass. First overall and first "modern car" was the Lancia Intregale of Neil Lewis and Richard Fisher who consolidated their quick times on grass with a strong performance on the regularities with a full set of code boards. First true historic was the pairing of Filsell Senior & Junior who threw their MGA round the grass with great panache. The other Father Son pairing of Hooleys, in their Austin Healey 100/4 struggled with excessive use of right pedal causing much wheelspin but little motion. Missing code boards proved to be the crucial issue for many crews as when these penalties were incorporated into the results many places were interchanged.

New 100 Series Rally with a Twist
Richard Egger, in conjunction with Loughborough Car Club and the HRCR, is looking at the viability of running a 100 Series Rally with a twist.
Billed as a daylight rally for novices and nice cars, the event will be based around the network of lanes between Loughborough and Melton Mowbray during September.
The intention is for competitors to assemble during mid Sunday morning for bacon cobs, documentation, scrutineering and three tests.
Then they will tackle three road loops each 30 miles long and return to the start venue after each one to tackle three tests before the next loop to finish with supper in a local friendly hostelry. Start around 10am to be in the pub by 8pm
There will be 2 levels of handout. A beginners set which is described as "simplistic in the extreme" and an experts set which will sort out the "experts".
The entry will be around the £25 mark with £15 for insurance and to include breakfast. Competitors will pay for their own supper.
Plans are at the point where we need to assess the level of interest, so if this takes your fancy, email Richard Egger at richard@rpegger.co.uk

Hexham 100 - August 16th
The HRCR is delighted to include the Hexham & District Motor Club's Hexham 100 Rally in the 100 Rally Series. The Hexham 100 will take place on Sunday August 16th and straightforward navigation will be the order of the day with tulip road books and marked maps.
The Hexham 100 will be a sociable, low-key 100-mile event, starting with morning coffee before a series of regularities brings competitors to a lunch halt. Suitably refreshed, the afternoon will consist of more regularities before finishing with a famous Hexham "Après Rallye" buffet and prize giving. Entry is open to any type of historic or classic car and, as this first event will be of 12-car status, no competition licence will be required. The organisers aim to keep the entry fee as low as possible, offering a fun day out at an economic price.
Historic enthusiasts are assured of a really warm welcome on the Hexham 100 and anyone interested in competing on the event can obtain information by visiting the clubs website www.hexhammotorclub.co.uk or by contacting the club Competition Secretary Ed Graham
