2028.0. "Anyone into rallying ....spectating,not partaking" by LUVBOT::AYOU35::WARREN () Fri Feb 19 1993 09:42

I haven't managed to find a notes conf on this subject and I was wondering if any 
of you guys/gals out there spectated ?

The main reason I want to know is that I can never get all the spectator details
for some of the more local events.
I get the Motoring News each week, and it seems mainly to concentrate on down 
south, with only the likes of the Scottish National events getting any publicity.

So, has anyone got any suggestions as to getting more details at the clubman
level ??

Anyone got an alternative way of getting details of up and coming events 
ie  another newspaper etc ?


Is there a conf out there and I have overlooked it ?????

2028.1Join a motor club and marshalEMERY::emeryDNA OSI Directory ArchitectMon Feb 22 1993 08:427
The best way to get this information is to join a local RAC MSA
motor club that specializes in rallies of the type in which you are
interested (tarmac special stage, forrest special stage, or road
rallies). You don't have to want to compete to join these clubs, and
marshalling gets you very good viewing...

2028.3You could try the RAC MASFORTY2::MITCHELLMon Feb 22 1993 12:1811
    
    I'm afraid I don't know any clubs local to you :-) - but the RAC MSA
    headquarters are in Slough - I will try to remember to bring in a
    'phone number for them tomorrow, if you're interested. I should think
    they must have a list of affiliated clubs.  
    
    (RAC general enquires list a number for Glasgow  - 041 248 4444, they
    may be able to give you a number, but don't be surprised if they have
    never heard of the MSA (Motor Sports Association)

2028.7FORTY2::HOWELLJust get to the point...Thu Jan 26 1995 14:3115
    Last weekend in February '95 is the Mintex series Rally in Bournemouth.
    
    Having been the past 2 years I can say it is always entertaining.....
    
    That's Feb 25th (the Saturday only). Goes on most of the day, all
    around Ringwood, Bournemouth seafront(!!), etc...
    
    Details available from Bouremouth tourist board..... stage maps
    available on the day (take along an ordnance survey map is my
    suggestion).
    
    Have fun!
    
    Cheers,
    Dan
