Default Stage Info? - Bulldog Rally, Oswestry, Saturday 18th Oct.

Hi Chaps

Does anyone have the stage running order and first car start times for each of the stages on Saturdays Bulldog rally?

Should be a good rally with 3 Focus WRC's and several other WRC cars entered.

I know there are details of two spectator stages on the rally homepage but I don't want to be herded into a spectator pen at either of the stages they list and then sit in the queue to get away afterwards.

I know all the west Wales stages well and of course all the best vantage points so just having the stage running order and first car start time will enable me to plan a great day out watching.

Can anyone help with any of the information?

Thanks, Bob.

Hi Tony, yes will look out for you at the service park.

Yes Hugh Hunter is entered in the McRae Focus.

Does any one have the stage order and the start time of the first car at each stage?

Thanks
Bob

(I meant a look on the paperwork lol )

Which is not due here until tomorrow Bob

Which rally section do you want times for ? I take it the main "Bulldog" as it also runs the clubmans and mini rallys using different stages and sets of times.

Cant see Hugh / Andy on the entry list though ??

Hi Tony

Many thanks for the stage information.

Are the times you provide for the first National car? If do do you have the times for the first Clubmans car?

Yes, you are right Hugh Hunter is not entered. I just read 3 Focus WRC's and assumed one was his! Sorry!

Regards
Bob

Hi Tony

Sorry to be a pain but I am getting confused with the stage list and times you gave me and the extract published on the rally website!

Could you give me the stage list and first car start times for both the National and Clubmans events.

Many thanks
Bob

First National yes Thats all I wrote down sorry I have no other details here.

All the details will be up on the noticeboards in HQ from tomorrow afternoon though

There are no 'secret' spectating places cozzfather. Its all on an OS map and access is by public right of way

heh

my mate used to go with a photographer who had the right passes and would get into places on stages that were not on the maps or regs, one year i was amazed to see some famous drivers standing next to us.
hardly any people were there and access in and out was fast, honestly it was great going in and hardly walking and distance to see puka rallying.
maybe i'm dreaming it

looks like we could be going,i tried the brf but fook me its 18 pages of mostly drivel,why they can't put all the relevant info in one post near the top, i just havn't got the time to read 18 pages

Your not dreaming it.

In the days of Tony Mason and William Woolard etc doing in stage reports they would often get to their 'secret' locations for filming and find our vehicles beat them too it

As I said an OS map and general knowledge of the stage layout is all that is needed

Same on this years Jim Clark we whilst doing chase I popped into a stage for a quick look at the action to see Tony Mason and his wife (who do still follow the events) stood next to Louise Aiken Walker and her family.

As for BRF you thought Pf was bad
