Calling all VSCC Rallyists - Entries close soon for the Autumn Rally
Wednesday 21 August 2013
This year’s Autumn Rally on Saturday 7 September heralds the change of seasons and moves east from last year’s event, starting and finishing at The George and Dragon at Wolverton, just off the A339 between Newbury and Basingstoke.
The event has already received a strong entry in all classes; however, we still have capacity to welcome any latecomers. But hurry as entries will close on Monday 26 August.

The Experts Class sees the ‘usual suspects’ go head-to-head and the battle for annual honours continue into the fourth round of the series. Ray Edge is joined by new navigator Rebecca O’Brien, who will be challenged by long-time duo of Mark Garfitt and Dood Pearce, in their beautiful Frazer Nash / BMW, who are hoping to seal a first victory of the season.
In the Semi-Experts Class, we find regular drivers Robert Britcher and Barney Creaser in their Lancia Augusta and MG PA respectively, whilst David Crouch and Andy Fox will be hoping for a repeat performance from June’s Summer Rally, where they took top honours with an impressive performance in the 1924 Renault KJ1.
The Novice and Champagne Classes, designed to provide the perfect ‘spring-board’ into VSCC Rallying, welcomes a battle of the families, with Giles Hedley, navigated by son Will in their Ford Model A going head-to-head with New Year Driving Test organiser, Kevin Lee and his son, Jasper, making his VSCC competition debut in the family Alvis 12/50. Lawrence and Margaret Gerring will once again grace the Champagne Class with the presence of their MG TA. Remember, Instructions for these classes will be kept straightforward with plenty of grid references to help keep you on track.
The lunch stop will be at Beech Hill where the local branch of the Save the Children Fund will provide a £6 lunch per person (pre-book this on your Entry Form).
The very compact 99 mile route in the Reading/Newbury/Basingstoke triangle will be less hilly than last year, making it suitable for those with smaller capacity or under-powered engines.
Entry Fee is just £52 (½ Price for those Under 30 years on 1 January 2013). Members can enter online or download an Entry Form to complete and return from the Event Page (Click Here). Remember you will need to log in with your Membership Number and Pin to access this page.
NB You will need to have a Credit Card lodged with the Club and know the Buff Form number of the car you wish to enter to use the online entry facility.
For those without an eligible car, we also still require marshals for the event. To volunteer, please contact the Competition Department on 01608 644777 Ext 4 or email james.taylor@vscc.co.uk
