Snowman Rally 16 Feb 2013

[s2t]

Have posted on the UK Motorsport page but thought should post here also
Does anyone have details of the stages/spectator information....I am too late to order the official programme

[SSC!]

Are you planning coming up or are you in inverness already. If in town most fuel stations have programmes in for sale.

[s2t]

No I am not in Inverness until the Saturday

I would think you could get one at the leaving point. There is a FB page, might be worth asking on there.

Stage 3 Torrachilty starts at noon, it's west of Contin.

Looking forward to this, the start of the 2013 SRC!

Annual pilgrimage North for this - bring it on.

I see Bogie entering a Focus WRC this year. Expect him to be flying.

However, Andy Horne's DAM4100 Metro 6r4 variant is always a highlight for me!

[cc_Sledge]

I think (but not sure) that Andy has changed his engine............ Im not sure what too though (Maybe a Jag 3ltr??) or maybe im talking rubbish! But whatever it is, you'll hear it coming a mile off in the forest!

Hope all spectators enjoy what should be a cracking event! Very strong entry and a huge mix of cars too.

Just back from stage 1 - Rally cancelled and possible spectator fatality as car left road.

Thoughts with those involved

[MondeoMan1981]

More info emerging, someone possibly killed due to a rolling car.

RIP if true

[BckFlash]

According to STV news, a youngster was killed by a rolling car .

Very sad for all involved

Sad turn of events today. Thoughts with all those involved, hope the young boy makes a speedy recovery.

[Mojocvh]

Having marshalled the Snowman [when in the mob] it is very sad news indeed.

Whilst not wishing to be insensitive to the loss of life and ensuing suffering, however,

"Officers from the force's Road Policing Unit will be carrying out a full road collision investigation and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal."

I do wonder what position this has left the organisers and club committee members in........

[I-Mac]

To clarify and for the record, the deceased was a 50y.o. woman from Skye. The boy is being treated in Raigmore infirmary and was stable last night. His injuries are not life threatening. A third person was injured and recorded as walking-wounded.

A very sad day for all involved.
