Clwyd Vale Motor
Club were pleased to welcome the 2007 MSA Production Car Trial
Championship and the 2007 BTRDA PCT Championship to North Wales for the
HCC Wales PCT.
23 entries

superb Glass Trophy with class winners and Marshals getting a rather
nice bottle of wine for thier efforts. Many thanks to event sponsor,
Peter Williams of HCC Wales.
Many thanks to the many
volunteers who made it possible to run the event.

HCC Wales PCT win goes to Oliver
The ground
conditions in North Wales obviously suit Dave Oliver and his Hillman Imp
to perfection.
His total score on the Saturday was 15. He went one better at Clwyd Vale
MC's event on the Sunday with only 14 marks lost all day - and 11 of
those was when he drove out of section accidently. Others cleaned the
hill, so he could have been on just 3. When you consider that the next
best score was 48, and the next best in his class was 71, you get some
measure of the performance.
With four past British and BTRDA Gold Star champions in Class A, the
scores were always going to be close. But it was David Holmes who put
the cat among the pigeons with the class lead in his Fiat Panda until
the last round when he mis-timed a turn to score a seven. However, he
still took second in the class behind a resurgent Les Andrew's Peugeot
104. Barrie Parker (104) and Neil Mackay (Panda) were 3rd and 4th, with
a Garry Preston having a relaxing day in fifth. Derek Barnes took a well
deserved Class B win in his Golf from Siõn Matthews in a Nova; while
Malcolm Brown won Class C in his Westfield from Jeff Buchanan's Mazda
MX5.
Behind Dave Oliver, the battle was intense, with Colin Weeks' MG Midget
just losing out to the re-diffed Marlin of John Ludford, two marks being
the difference in the end. No surprises that Dave Oliver won overall for
the second time in the weekend. The rain arrived just as everybody was
packing up, and the timing didn't spoil the competition.
An enjoyable weekend in North Wales - hopefully to be continued next
year.
