BULLDOG & CAERWENT
Wednesday, 31 March 2010

Brecon Motor Club crews were flying the flag at two different events last weekend, on the Saturday Jason Pritchard was debuting his new Subaru and did what he set out to do, finish. Not only did he finish but he finished well, coming home in seventh overall. It appears to have been a trouble free run and he can now look forward to the delights of Keilder where Sara Williams will also be later in April. Meanwhile, at Caerwent mixed fortunes abounded and Mike Jones ,guided by Robin Moses in the usual Peugeot were back with reliability and finished best of the bunch in 38th overall. Phil Jones and Ian Jury had the Audi Quattro back out but electrical failure ruled out a finish. Mark and Alan Hatton were hoping for great things in the revitalised Clio but driveshaft failure on stage one was a bitter pill to swallow. Jamie Vaughan sat in with Andy Murphy in a Pug and came home a few places behind Mike and Robin in 41st overall.
WILL'S FIRST WIN - RALI ELLI 2010
Monday, 22 March 2010

Will Arrowsmith claimed his first rally win at the weekend on Llanelli Motor Clubs Rali Elli. With a day section at Pembrey and a 60 mile night section, it was a real challenge of man and machine. With the excellent services of Dylan Jenkins in the navigators seat, lots of seat time including a good run on the Tour of Epynt last weekend and a well bolted together car the result was always coming. Congratulations from Brecon Motor Club.
TOUR OF EPYNT 2010
Sunday, 14 March 2010

The 2010 Tour of Epynt proved to be a happy hunting ground for the sole BMC representative on the event, Will Arrowsmith applied himself well to win the road rally class and come in 25th overall. His Ford Escort didn't miss a beat all day and was a credit to his preparation. Away from the stages BMC were hard at work manning service 'in' and 'out' controls. Morale was kept high by the culinary skills of Nigel who excelled himself yet again as the official motor club chef! Additional help was also had from 'Roger', who can be seen in the dayglo coat in the bottom picture, he tested a few of Nigel's creations and gave top marks each time before disappearing into the sunset on his faithful steed................................
GREMLIN RALLY 2010
Tuesday, 9 March 2010
This years Gremlin Rally was a somewhat fraught affair as Denis struggled with less helpers than usual, 2011 looks as if it might be a different kettle of fish as a number of members have expressed a desire to take it on.
On the night two BMC crews were looking for a glory, Mike Jones & Robin Moses scented a podium place and had their Peugeot right up there in fourth at the Llandovery petrol halt. Unfortunately Robin gave Mike a sniff of something else later in the rally, the resultant stop dropping them to eleventh place at the finish. Phil Jones & Ian Jury gave their Nissan Micra an airing and came in a respectable second in the novice class.
