Dear All  

Yes it is that time of year again, spring is in the air and the Jim Clark is rapidly approaching so I’m sending this note to tell you about the 2010 event and in an effort to save my sanity, to ask you to make an early commitment to helping us.

This year we are due to start on Friday morning with a shakedown at a new location followed in the evening by the ceremonial start just prior to the ever popular race through the streets of Duns. This and a couple of other stages, all used twice, make up the evenings competition and take us into the night. Four more closed road venues, make up the International Rally on Saturday and the ever popular Reivers Rally will again run from Duns on Sunday, albeit with a few less competitors! Among the routes planned over the weekend is some mileage never used before and some not used this century and one stage has a lapped section.

We have a couple of other new innovations for 2010, primarily, the event will be the first UK rally to fully track all of the competitors and course cars allowing far better monitoring of the action and improving safety. Along with the tracking comes a new timing system which feeds its information directly back into the HQ results computer. This coupled with a more relaxed timetable makes for an interesting Rallying Weekend.

As usual we have Free Camping at Rally HQ,  a Free Marshals Party on Saturday evening at which we hope to ‘have something new’. There will also be lots of signing on gifts, on stage snacks and meal vouchers for that time off !!!

Regards To All

Bob
