god i love night stages so here are a few pix that i like best from today !

just a nice wee night shot at low shutter speed

nesbitt setting the pace from the start but is lying 2nd overnight

rally leader mark higgins is very fast in a beautiful car

 

[jonny106]

Was a good day yesterday-i hear Higgins is having problems and has dropped to 9th with Eugene now in the lead.Class pics G.

 

[chrisc]

Eugene won. Any more pics Graham?

 

[Max]

nice pics g

 

[big cyril]

Excellent pics.

 

[Graham]

only in the door from day 2 and the genie took a well deserved win with mcnulty hot on his bumper. higgins went backwards into a pole earlier and they rekon it helped the porp break meaning he was running FWD in the focus dropping oil and holing genie and mcgarrity up also as the stage was so narrow they couldn't pass. nesbitt's engine blew poutting him out and genie just finished where he wanted to be i am sure and well done that man, the pace of mcnulty today was extreemly impressive!

i will have a few hundred pictures to sort through so will get them up later with a full report !

[Graham]

my fav pic of today just for that WRC style feel

full report and pictures - http://www.reallymeansounds.com/report.php?event=126

 

[sideways365]

Superb day weather wise and the shear number of cars in the event was unreal, great photies there G as usual.

 

[alan273]

Another Great day, great weather too. Was on F/Finish of S11/15 - The Hollow, what a class stage 9mile, few good jumps mid stage, would have made a class spot to get some pics and a class straight section on a good surface would say they were lit along it. We were in a house drive way and could just see past the wall pillar down to the last corner, you could hear them coming then they appeared sideways round the corner then fight to straighten for the blast across the line



The Locals we talked to at the end of the stage seemed to really enjoy watching them fly past their gates.
