Scottish Rally gathers momentum
Posted: June 4, 2010 9:34 AM
The RSAC Scottish Rally takes place on Saturday 26 June, but there will be plenty of activity in the Dumfries area in the days and weeks leading up to the event. Rally organisers have announced an expanded programme of buildup activities as they look to build support for the fifth round of the Hankook Scottish Rally Championship.
Things kick off with a Preview Day in Dumfries Town Centre on Saturday 12 June, where a range of competing cars will be on display and there will be the chance to win rally prizes in a charity raffle. This year the rally will support two charities - the Children's Ward at Dumfries & Galloway Royal Infirmary and Help for Heroes. So come along, buy a ticket, hopefully win some rally goodies, and help two very worthwhile causes. A forum will also be held at the Preview Day, where a number of competitors hoping for success in the upcoming rally will answer questions about their season and the sport in general. Programmes detailing the route, and time schedule for the rally, will be on sale at £2.50.
The following Saturday (19 June), the rally will take part in the Guid Nychburris Parade. A rally car will join the rest of the floats and marchers for the parade through Dumfries. (Float is 40 ft artic with 3 cars, accompanied by Armed Forces Land Rover)
The following Saturday is, of course, the rally itself! Rally headquarters this year will be based at the Barony Agricultural College, with competing cars being scrutineered and the rally helpdesk located in the Barony – just a few miles out of Dumfries at Parkgate. Rally day sees the usual ceremonial start and finish in front of the Mid Steeple, with cars hitting the ever-popular Heathhall Spectator Stage at about 9.30am.
If you want to get even closer to the action, though, then why not come and join the event’s marshaling team? Chief Marshal Craig Webster and his Deputy, Grahame Douglas, are always looking for new members to join the team that keeps the rally running, and we can guarantee you’ll be well looked after when you’re out in the forests!

The organisers of the RSAC Scottish Rally are delighted to announce the renewal of our partnership with Dumfries and Galloway Council making this already long established partnership set to continue for the foreseeable future.
The 2010 event will see some changes most notably the change of the Rally HQ venue. Due to major refurbishment work at the Dumfries Ice Bowl, the Rally will be based out of the Barony Agricultural College at Parkgate just north of Dumfries. This will host Scrutineering, Signing On, Rally HQ and Prizegiving.
Clerk of the Course Jonathan Lord says, “I’m pleased to welcome all members of the organising team to the 65th RSAC Scottish Rally. The new Rally HQ location at Barony College presents us with a new set of challenges, and I’m confident that we shall meet them and give competitors another great event. The various working groups are already replacing their skates with wellies in readiness for the new agricultural surroundings.
"We were particularly pleased to see an increased historic entry last year. For 2010, we shall have the HRCR Northern Historic Championship with us again, but we’d like to give them a bit more local competition. If you know of anyone with an eligible historic rally car, please encourage them to come to Dumfries in June."
This year we also welcome back competitors from the regular Hankook Scottish Rally Championship, the local Five of Clubs series, the Armed Forces Landrovers, and the new Brick & Steel Ecosse Challenge—formerly the 205 Ecosse Challenge. This very successful one make series is now open to Honda Civics as well.
