Rallyday 2009



Had a reasonable day down at Combe, weather was perfect but the organisation this year seemed a bit rough around the edges, huge gaps between track activity (hour and half around lunchtime amongst others) meant it was a bit boring at times. Thankfully the crowds were smaller this year, so parked up nice and quickly, even saw one other Ignis Sport (at two in total, probably the rarest rally car in attendance ;))

Anyhow, enough babble, some pics...

Amazing shots.

What is it with people doing cars in police livery, there was one at trax also.
 
Did number 19 get it back from that?(3rd pic from end)

Hard to remember as he was at that angle most of the day, but I think he did on that occasion as he only span out once or twice that I saw.

That car seems bomb-proof, on track for virtually every session, then did the feature stage, then did the slowly sideways demo, then did the sessions again. Comes back every year as we;;/

Awesome pics Chris, I must have been stood literally next to you at Quarry when the red mk2/yello spaxo/aston martin were out! I <3 the one of the rear of the Mini, totally different angle compared to what everyone else was shooting.

Will get my pics up in another thread in a bit.

Good to see you back out and about with the camera Chris, Have you had the lens serviced yet?


Would you mind telling me how you set that gallery up mate as its pretty awesome :eek:

Its a Smugmug account. Search for Smugmug and you will find it. Its a decent host, fast upload, very reliable, superb image handling and they offer printing services and a host of other bits and bobs.
 
Good old Mad Mark was there in the Xsara :) Did it run fine all day? Or set on fire like the last three times I've seen it.

Awesomly fast machine when working.

Was he at FCS too? Remember some crazy but friendly lads with a quick Xsara back there! :)

Nick has explained it below, I've been using them for nearly 6 years now and can't fault them, excellent service. If I remember correctly they lock your annual fee when you join, so I'm still paying 2004 rates.

No, can't afford it at the moment. Worked for approx. 50% of shots, hence me not coming home with too many. Stopped working entirely for 20-30mins at one stage and I thought it was done for, but it kicked back into life for a while after. Quite frustrating, to say the least!

I didn't see them much, they did a weak demo early on and that's all I saw of them. Maybe they were out later, not sure.

Car of the day was the Gwynne Speed Saxo, incredible.

Oddly I drove straight in at 8:30 (literally right up to the Quarry paystation without stopping), I met up with Kilvy and he did the same around lunchtime. The field to the left of the entrance wasn't even full when I left at 3.

No idea why it wasn't so busy this year, compared to Japfest it was very quiet.
