Preparations are in high gear for the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) next event, the Regional Fire & Security September Safari slated for Sunday, September 21, with two of the island’s most experienced crews jointly leading the 2008 BRC Mud Dogs Safari Championship after the first two rounds.
Winners of the Toyo Tires March Safari were 2006 Champion Driver Leslie Alleyne and wife Anna-Lee in their Bridgestone Tires/AutoZone Inc Mitsubishi Pajero iO; they finished ahead of Barry Gale and Neil Barnard – Champion Driver and Navigator in 2005 – in their Mitsubishi L200.

Paul Bourne continued his winning ways on Saturday (July 26) with victory in the Summer Nights Tarmac Sprint at Pickerings in St Lucy; it was his third win in four rounds of the Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Sprint Championship and brings him to within six points of Championship leader Roger Skeete.

Thirty crews are listed on the final entry for this weekend’s (June 28/29) Shelbury Construction June Safari, chasing glory in the region’s longest-running motor sport event . . . but victory in the second round of the 2008 Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Mud Dogs Safari Championship will not be easy.
Once again, the event which helped establish the BRC in 1957 promises a true challenge of man and machine. The entry list includes seven former winners, two of whom – Leslie Alleyne and Derek Gill – have won as both driver and navigator.

Key to nationalities (competitor from Barbados unless shown): ENG – England; ESP – Spain; IRL – The Republic of Ireland; JAM – Jamaica; NIR – Northern Ireland; SVG – St Vincent & The Grenadines; SWE – Sweden; TDAD – Trinidad & Tobago; WAL - Wales
