Midland Night Navigation Trial - 15-16 Feb 03
Posted: February 17, 2003 10:04 PM - 10682 Hits

Victory in the Midland Navigation Trial, which finished at Athlone early on Sunday, was enough to clinch the Motorsport Ireland National Navigation Championship for the Monaghan/Cavan pairing of Andy Mackarel and Liam Higgins in their Ascona.

After a tricky 120 mile route in Co Roscommon, they had four marks to spare over local crew Gerry Kelly and Richie Howard, but there was disappointment for the O’Neill brothers, Ray and Stephen, who led the championship points table before the start.

Round 2 - McAree Engineering V-Mac Silo's Autocross Championship

McCullough Reigns Supreme
Thanks to Gerard Buckley

With two rounds of the 2003 V-MAC Silo’s Autocross Championship completed, things are falling into a very familiar order, as Baileborough garage owner and 2002 Champion Cyril McCullough once again proved beyond reach at Cavan Motor Club’s Hut Cross Track. The lack of rain during the week, coupled to the frosty nights had expelled all moisture from the track and an entirely dry and firm surface greeted the 61 competitors on Sunday morning last. In a departure from recent events, Clerk of the Course Philip Smith decided to run the event in the opposite direction and this, along with a dry surface ensured some very quick lap times.
