BUSHWHACKER RALLY 2020 CANCELLATION
Posted: May 18, 2020 7:50 AM
Due to the current situation regarding COVID-19 and the uncertainty of its duration, it is
with regret that Omagh Motor Club has taken the decision to cancel this year’s
Bushwhacker Rally which was due to run on 26th September 2020. The rally was
scheduled to be rounds of both the McGrady Northern Ireland Gravel Challenge and the
Valvoline Irish Forestry Championship.
The organising team have considered the recommendations of Motorsport UK and the
recent guidelines set out by the Northern Ireland Executive for public safety and it was
felt that it would be inappropriate during this period of crisis to bring helpers, rally crews,
support teams and spectators to where the rally is based within the districts of
Castlederg and Killeter.
Omagh Motor Club would like to thank our main sponsor McKelvey Asbestos and the
Silverbirch Hotel for their understanding of this decision and we hope that when this
crisis ends, we will commence the organisation of the 2021 Bushwhacker Rally.
Stay Safe and Thank You for your understanding.
