Pair take second despite technical difficulties

GREAT RACE: Mark Thompson and Joe Hutchinson came second in their class of the Cheviot Rally

TWO dale crews competed in the Cheviot Rally at Otterburn Military ranges on Sunday, September 22.

The fast Tarmacadam roads provide a difficult challenge, the bumpy landscape making pace-note calls from co-drivers especially important.

Mark Thompson, from Staindrop, and Joe Hutchinson, from Eggleston, tackled the stages in a Morris Lubricants sponsored Peugeot 206 GTI.

Mark and Joe bounced back setting top 20 times in the remaining seven stages to finish 23rd overall and second in class, missing the class lead by only eight seconds but happy with their pace.
