CRONEY AND ALLEYNE WIN SAFARI TITLES

Victory in Sunday’s (November 12) tough final round of the 2006 Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Safari Championship made Andrew Croney the season’s Champion Navigator . . . and he has won the title from the Novice class, holding off some seasoned campaigners.
Sunday’s BRC November Safari was not all plain sailing, either, for Croney and his driver for the event, Derek Gill. At the wheel of his new Suzuki Jimny on its maiden safari, Gill had traction problems on some hills and also suffered a cracked windscreen.

BRC NOVEMBER SAFARI SUNDAY

Championship leaders Leslie and Annalee Alleyne will start at number 1 for this Sunday’s (November 12) final round of the 2006 Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Safari Championship; by the close of last night’s (Tuesday) briefing meeting, 21 crews had entered, with more anticipated by the Thursday 5.00pm deadline.
The BRC November Safari will start at 8.00am from the car park of Advanced Business Systems in the Warrens Industrial Park, St Michael. Visiting every parish except St Lucy, the event will cover around 140 kilometres, divided into two routes.

SAFARI SEASON APPROACHES CONCLUSION

With just one event to run, Leslie and Annalee Alleyne remain at the head of the points standings in the 2006 Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Safari Championship; the last of the four rounds is slated for Sunday, November 12, and a worthy finale to a highly-competitive season is widely anticipated.

LINTON WINS SECOND DRIVER’S CHAMPIONSHIP

Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Champion of 2002 Adrian Linton claimed his second title on Sunday (October 22), when he clinched the Virgin Atlantic BRC Driver’s Championship in a last-round showdown with season-long rival Ian Warren in the Texaco BRC Gravel Rally; Linton is also the Modified 7 Champion.

MANNING WINS EVENT, BOURNE WINS TITLE

Trevor Manning returned to his winning ways on Sunday (October 22) when the Barbados Rally Club (BRC) staged the Texaco BRC Gravel Rally . . . but his victory was not enough to prevent Paul Bourne becoming the second Texaco BRC Rally Champion.
Although only 19 cars contested the year’s final rally, a quality entry provided some class action for the large numbers of spectators who lined the two five-kilometre stages at Yorkshire and Guinea, each run four times. The event started and finished at the Vaucluse Raceway, where a prize-giving rounded off the day’s proceedings.

BOURNE AND MANNING HEAD ENTRY LIST

RAIN, RAIN GO AWAY!

Officials of the Barbados Rally Club (BRC) are working hard on plans to save next Sunday’s (October 22) final round of the Texaco BRC Rally Championship.

LINTON AND WARREN DOWN TO THE WIRE

With one round remaining, just five points separate former Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Champion Adrian Linton and Ian Warren, who have been locked in battle for the Virgin Atlantic BRC Driver’s Championship since the opening round in March.
