The Goodwood Stages saw a number of club members in action at a very wet and windy Goodwood circuit. Ryan with Darren Stutchbury alongside had a rare outing in the family Clio and from a start number of 40 finished 14th o/all despite getting a time penalty for clipping chicane with his door mirror. Ben was driving his first event and after having a major spin on the first stage in terrible conditions, which certainly woke his co-driving Dad up, recovered well to finish his first event 41st o/all.
It should also be noted that Ellie Hucklebridge was also competing on her first event co-driving for brother Oliver. They were setting some good times before engine issues intervened.
Other club members results were:-
Driver/Navigator Overall Class
Ian Hucklebridge/Sam Cox Fiesta R5 9th 6th
Sean Quigley/Colin Quigley Fiesta R5 5th 5th

The Christmas period saw members out on a couple of events. The Rixy Stages was very successful for SCMC teams with Rob Swann/Steve McNulty being the overall winners and followed home by fellow member Darrell Taylor. Further down the leaderboard the Quigley’s used the Subaru this time finishing 18th o/all, 2 places behind Jamie McBain/Jordine Crooks in their 205. Mark Fisher & Peter Spalding continue to have no luck at all having to retire on the first stage after multiple punctures.
Ian & Oliver Hucklebridge took their Fiesta R5 to the Jaffa Stages at Pembrey and continued to learn the car, gaining more confidence with the R5 all the time with 7th o/all.
As always, let us know your results so that we can include you in the monthly round-up.
