John Stone’s Skoda Fabia WRC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Having won it two years ago, John Stone was unable to take up the No.1 spot on the
\n2011 UTS Cheviot Keith Knox Stages Rally as his Skoda Fabia WRC was still
\nundergoing repairs following major engine damage earlier in the season. Similarly,
\nlast year\u2019s victor Damian Cole is foregoing the opportunity to do likewise this time,
\naffording Stone the opportunity to lead the field away from the start on Sunday 4th
\nNovember. With Lee Carter reading the route notes, Stone will leave the Airstrips, on
\nthe Otterburn Ranges, at 8.30am for the first of the nine special stages that go to
\nmake up the competitive element of the event.
\nBehind Stone, John Indri has Steve Hartley with him in his Darrian T90 GTR. No
\nslouch in his two-wheel drive machine, Indri was 3rd on the Cheviot last year and the
\nChelmsford driver will be looking to finish what has been a dreadful season on a
\nhigh. Consequently, top of his \u2018wish-list\u2019 will be dry weather!…
\nMark Jasper\/Don Whyatt are at No.3 in the first of two MG Metro 6R4s in the entry,
\nwhilst another former Otterburn event winner, Andy Fenwick, has enlisted the
\nservices of Andrew Roughead to guide his Hyundai Accent WRC over the Ranges.
\nCarlisle driver Peter Taylor, who retired last year whilst holding a Top Ten place in
\nhis Renault Clio, has placed an entry but has yet to nominate either a car or a codriver!
\nGeorge Mackey\/Paul Hughes round off the Top Six in their Subaru Impreza and the
\nremainder of the Top Twenty is as follows :
\n7. Chris Jones\/Ashley Trimble Ford Focus STI
\n8. Bob Grant\/Pete Carstairs Subaru Impreza
\n9. David Hardie\/Bruce Harper Subaru Impreza
\n10. Richard Cook\/Edwin Cook Subaru Impreza
\n11. Adrian Spencer\/Mark Hewitt Subaru Impreza
\n12. Barry Lindsay\/Michael Lindsay Peugeot 106 GTI

\n14. Pete Gibson\/Josh Davison Mitsubishi Lancer EVO6
\n15. Simon Chapman\/Michael Calvert MG Metro 6R4
\n16. Richard Felgate\/Mark Mason BMW M3
\n17. David Conley\/Mike Scrimgour Hillman Avenger BRM
\n18. Jim Sharp\/Craig Wallace Mitsubishi Lancer EVO9
\n19. Richard Clews\/Andrew Edwards Subaru Impreza STI
\n20. Kevin Knox\/Jimmy Knox Ford Sierra
\n21. Ricky Wheeler\/Robin Laird Ford Escort MkII
\nThe UTS Cheviot Keith Knox Stages Rally is the final round of both the REIS \u2013 Get Connected MSA Asphalt and AS Performance North of England Tarmacadam Rally Championships. Pete Gibson (Car 14) is occupying 3rd place in the North of England points but is ideally placed to overhaul current runner-up Chris Anderson who, having had a couple of excellent results on Otterburn earlier in the season, will be absent this time.
\nGibson is also the highest-placed driver in the SG Petch ANECCC Championship contesting the Cheviot, but this particular series does not conclude until the Grizedale Stages at the start of December.
\nSpectators are welcome at Leighton Hill \u2013 see http:\/\/www.cheviotstages.co.uk<\/a> for further details.
\nThe first car is due back at the Airstrips for the finish of the event at 4.00pm on the Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
