WITH less than three weeks to go ahead of the annual RiverRidge Recycling Turkey Run Rally organisers are reminding prospective competitors that the final deadline for entries is Tuesday 17th December.
The popular rally which takes place over the former army barracks at Shackleton is a great chance to get out and get the head cleared after the excesses or boredom of Christmas and see some top class motorsport action.
Entries for the high-octane event can be downloaded from the Maiden City Club website http://www.mcmc.com/ and must be in before 17th December to allow organisers to make final preparations before the rally on 28th December.
Clerk of the Course, Jon McIvor said,
“Entries to date have been strong and we hope to have a great turnout on the 28th December. I would just ask any prospective competitors get their entries in as soon as possible as I don't want anyone to be disappointed.
“This year will see the stage mileage increased to 40 stage miles spread over six stages and whether you are competing or spectating this is sure to be a great day’s racing. We’ve eight W.R.C; Minis, Ford Focus; Subaru selection; Toyota Corolla and some of the best MK 2 Escorts in Ireland.
"We really want to provide good value for money and the extra stage mileage is an important part of that, as well as keeping the entry fee as low as possible. To make it a bit easier for the competitors, scrutineering will be on the morning of the rally.
“Also, we have been very lucky with the weather in recent Turkey Runs but, should we have to contend with the unexpected, then snow or forest tyres will be permitted depending on the weather conditions."
RiverRidge Recycling, a local waste management company in the North West, has once again sponsored this event.
Eamon Doherty, Financial Director at RiverRidge Recycling said,
“RiverRidge Recycling is delighted to be working with the Maiden City Motorclub once again. Having just launched our own RiverRidge Recycling Rally four-man rally team we can’t wait to blow the cobwebs away and hopefully win a few stages.
“Last year’s event was a great success and a really good way to spend some of the Christmas break, I have no doubt the club will put on an equally good event this year.”
