| Another Great result at the weekend,it was the 6th round of the brca national rally x championship and was held at the famous pendle track in the north west of england which donâ™t forget held the european championships there back in 1994,the Saturday before the race,the weather couldnâ™t be better,it was scorching hot and the forecast said the same for Sundays race butâ¦â¦â¦ with possibility of a thunderstorm and showers,guess what they were right for a change and the rain came down with the thunder and lightning and a quite impressive one at that too! |

| The track was mainly grass with a mixture of dirt,tarmac and the good old Lancashire cobbles,the layout proved to be a very demanding and challenging track and was all about keeping the car on all 4 wheels. |

| Round 3 and it was between myself and david crompton for the TQ overall,david went out early in his heat with a breakage and i needed a 2nd in the round or better to take TQ overall and thatâ™s just what i did,so it was myself to take TQ again in this round with neil cragg in 2nd and jamie booth in 3rd,again 3 xrays completed the top ten with lee taylor taking 5th,jon hazlewood in 6th and matthew perry in 8th |
