March 2017 - Haydn Minay Easter Stages Rally.

Posted: October 24, 2016 2:33 PM

For many years The Easter Stages Rally - which was kindly sponsored by Haydn Minay for many years, was the pinnacle of forest stage rallying here on the Isle of Man. Some of the "old timers" would tell you that getting your name on that famous trophy is something to be extremely proud of. That Trophy still exists today and, through kind sponsorship from Nigel and Kevin Minay, it is being reintroduced to the Islands rally calendar for 2017.

Mark Ellison - Manx Auto Sport spokesman continued; "For many years Hadyn Minay sponsored this very popular event through his garage business in Onchan. Not only did Haydn compete on local events he was also President of Manx Auto Sport for many years. It is fitting tribute to Haydn that his sons, Nigel and Kevin are wanting to remember him by sponsoring this forest rally"

So, March 3rd / 4th 2017 will see the return of the Haydn Minay Easter Stages Rally. Starting with stages on the friday night and - stages on the Saturday - using multiple forests, will see a return to forest rallying here on the Isle of Man.

The organising committee from Manx Auto Sport are excited and are hoping that by announcing this event early will give potential competitors time to prepare cars and enter this truly great Manx sporting tradition.

During the coming months - by kind permission of the Forestry Board, a number of works will be carried out in various plantations to make sure they are in the best condition possible for the event.
