Looks like there are 9 minis starting this hrcr road rally this Saturday
It’s a first time event being run around the fantastic lanes of Shropshire but organised by Nick Bloxham and Wolverhampton and South Staffs car club

John Bloxham was a well known Motoring News’s rally champion and the event is being run in his name and to raise money for 2 charities close to the families heart , namely Prostate Cancer Uk and Compton Hospice, a hospice and cancer support charity based in Wolverhampton
Let’s hope for some kind weather

My son did it in his RS2000 and was 5th overall. He said it was a great event.

It was nice that John's widow, Susan, was there at the start to see the competitors on their way.

Good result for my son in my ‘S’.
6th overall and first in class on an event quite unsuitable for a 105 bhp Mini without an LSD, on 10” wheels in very muddy conditions.
The event was won by a Volvo on 15” wheels with an LSD and serious knobbly tyres.
I will get a photo on here soon.
