The organisers say :- |
Welcome to the 31st Kyrle Trial, one of Ross & District Motor Sports premier events of the year. Paul Bartleman is Clerk of the Course for the third year. In 2006 he had to deal with a very wet trial due to an overnight deluge and last year had to manage in desert conditions. So let’s hope the weather is somewhere in between this year - whatever it does, we usually get some sunshine. This year we have a guest Assistant Clerk of the Course in Simon Groves who will no doubt have some fresh ideas. We are again including Class 0 which is run to a Clubsport permit and thus requires no competition licence. This Class was very successful last year. “Anonymous” has again donated an award for the best performance by a car ‘not powered by petrol’. This had no takers last year as all cars were petrol fuelled - but someone must fancy a run in a diesel or gas powered car. The start will be at the spacious and well-equipped Whitchurch northbound services where there is ample parking, a café and fuel available including ‘super unleaded’. Our steep hills near Monmouth will be run at the beginning of the trial followed by the hills near Goodrich Castle before heading to the Forest of Dean and to some old favourites and some new hills. We plan to have two new long ‘through’ hills never previously used. Tyre pressures specified will depend on the weather; if it’s wet they will be few. Section start lines will be common to all classes but not excessively short or difficult. Our date this year is well away from Easter and the Lands End Trial. We have again been able to maintain last year’s entry fee. So we offer you a ‘value for money’ trial in a beautiful area of the country. At the end of the trial our ladies section will, as usual, be providing a meal at our Club House in Ross-on-Wye and the bar will be open to help quench thirsts! Please note the date, Sunday 20th April and come to marshal if you can’t enter. Stuart Ridge will be glad to hear from you on 01989 564916 or Mark Reeves on 01989 565169 We look forward to seeing you for a great day’s motor sport with 15 or so competitive hills and two special tests. Paul Bartleman, Stuart Harrold, Simon Groves, Stuart Ridge,Mark Reeves, Richard Andrews and Neil Forrest.
