Stormin 9,981 #1 Posted August 14, 2022 I've been marshaling at a clubman's rally today. The stage I was at is in a farm yard, right on the Scottish border, below Gretna Green. Photo across the border to Springfield which ajoins Gretna Green It's a large yard and lends itself to an interesting stage around the building. Some photo's of the cars I had to watch below. The cone you can see, they had to drive round twice anticlockwise then head back the way they came, to drive round another once anticlockwise. Then continue to more of the course. Much squealing of tyres and handbrake turns and also some words between driver and navigator when things went wrong. In the farm house garden and in one or two places by buildings, is quite a collection of antique farm implements. Photo's below. 4 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ranger 1,750 #2 Posted August 14, 2022 Nice pics norm. The second photo reminds me of my old Rootes, (Chrysler), Sunbeam Rapier H120 I had in the early 1970’s. I’m sure the early Barracuda design had some influence in the Rapier fastback styling, I wish I still had it today! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't want that MG to get any Lucas Cooties on it! The "words between driver and navigator are the best part of a Rally! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On more powerful cars, that could've been an opportunity for a controlled, smoking, rubber-laying "donut" turn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes and well out of harms way. 27 minutes ago, Handy Don said: Putting the cone on the side away from (and invisible to) the driver basically guaranteed some interesting driver-navigator interaction!
