Thanks to JerseySandy for the footage!

EMCOS Stages.

As you may have read on the Roofing Rally Team blog {link} we're entering the EMCOS Stages {link} at Down Ampney on 24th May. hopefully we'll have better luck than last year where the Escort retired ~ didn't it always!!?! We're hoping to have the new (to us) Metro 6R4 fully set-up to suit Adrian's driving style for the EMCOS. We'll use it as a final systems check before venturing out onto bigger events!
The 2 pictures on this post were taken at Down Ampney last year.

New e-mail address.

EWR has another (new) e-mail address:~ erikwestrallying(at)googlemail(dot)com. There are plenty more developments in the pipeline and (hopefully) a couple of new sponsors too!

On the rallying side of things 2008 looks like it could be quite dramatic and enjoyable once the season finally starts! More news to follow once the final details are confirmed.

News.

There's nothing spectacular happening at present I'm afraid. We're still working on a rally programme for the Roofing Rally Team and the Metro 6R4. Once that's sorted details will appear on the Roofing Rally Team blog {link}, on here and on my MySpace site {link} too.

Away from competition I'm pleased to be making better than expected progress through physio which is good news (at last!!). I also have finally started to sort my study out at home and now have a new computer ready to work its magic on Roofing Rally Team and Erik West Rallying blogs, press releases, newletters, articles and the like. All I need now is a broadband connection.....

You see the strangest things.....

Driving to the shops on Saturday I had an 80s movie moment, coming towards me was the De Lorean featured in the Back to the Future films. After a quick glance I thought nothing more of it until I returned home from my shopping trip to the De Lorean parked next door!

It's not every day that a genuine film star appears next door!

An Evo from the past.

Here's a nice picture from Pose Rallying of Adrian Smekss and I at Wilbarston in a Group N Evo. This has to be the most comfortable stage car I have ever rallied in!
The Evo was replaced shortly after this picture was taken by an MG Metro 6R4 which was far more enjoyable and a lot, lot louder!.
