& District MC has set the standard for this year's WAMC Road Rally
Championship with the opening round Rali Bro Caron.
A
capacity entry of 90 cars started from its base at the Black Lion hotel, Lampeter
and faced a challenging 100 mile navigational route which included only two
very small white roads.
The
leading crew at petrol were Phil Evans / Dilwyn John in a Mk1 Escort after
setting some blistering times, but sadly a debatable fail in the second half
lost them the overall win although they were without doubt the fastest crew of
the night.
The
second half of the event saw the crews tackle the infamous Abergwesyn pass,
returning over Llyn Brianne dam and down to the ford of Ffarmers before the
finish at the Black Lion.
With
final results around 7am the overall win went to Dylan Davies / Dale Furniss in
a Mk2 Escort with a slender 26 second lead over runners up Huw Evans / Patrick
Walsh in another Escort.
