03-10-2010 1:04pm#1Hi all saying ive done a thread for the international rally, i thought i'd do one for this rally too. So if anyone wants to know any info, either too see if they will be effected, or wants rough info RE stages and times ask in here i'll do my best to tell ya...
The rally is on Next saturday, 9th oct, based out of the twin towns. Although the event isnt nowhere near as big as the international in June still expect a fair bit of traffic in stranorlar most of the day because service is being held at stranorlar mart (11.13 / 13.05 / 14.54, are the service times but i would try and avoid that area all day) and one of the stages starts at the entrance to drumboe woods but it is only being run once to minimise distruption, i know lots of people go to drumboe for walks ect but there will be no access by car from the main street from 15.30 till about 19.00 on saturday. You might be able to still walk in if you talk nice to the marshalls posted there, lol.
General stage locations are (these are roughly if ya intend following it buy a program, lol):
SS1/3 - from stranorlar golf course - convoy (road closed 08.45 - 14.15)
SS2/4 - beltany stone circles (near raphoe) - near clady (close to the N15) - Castlefinn / raphoe road ( 09.00 - 14.45)
SS5/7 - Trusk lough - along the border - just south of crossroads ( 12.30 - 18.00)
SS6/8 - South of crossroads - runs near the castlefinn / castlederg road - finishes near liscooly
SS9 - Drumboe woods - meenhanilta (near the windfarm) - Weslhtown - cloughan.
Hope this info helps. I'm mainly posting this as i know some people dislike the rally, and i would hate to just happen accross something i don't really like and have to go on a detour because of it, and if this info avoids that all the better.
P.S. You going to get out of town for the day muffler

ill be taking part in this...keep an eye for the yellow and black yaris!!! (i kid you not)
Kenneth McHales old car? that wee car has a 100% finish record doesn't it good going for any rally car!creaghadoos wrote:never been at the harvest before, is scrutiny open to the public, if so where and when
do you know of any while good vantage point
anyone can go to Scrutiny yeah but you usually wont be allowed to walk in and around where they do scrutiny (for obhious reasons) but your allowed to get fairly close, its on from 3pm - 8.30 PM at the indrustral estate near finn park (that as accurate as info as i can give you)
As for locations there are loads and loads of good locations, big jump, slippy junctions ect, if you intend following the whole day id say get a program / map, and go over the stages it only take about 2 hours to do all the stages are fairly close... the reason i say this is cos what i think is a good spot you could think is terrible...0 -

Was that a vicious lynch mob or are we still on topic?:D
The road is level with our upstairs. An eagle-eyed spectator could have got quite a "spectacle" through our bedroom window if I'd forgot the rally was on:eek:
Fair play though, no rubbish left after them, only 2 or 3 walked through our lawn and our fence is still standing, so overall - a result!0 -

Its great to see some good comments on here apart from the few "muffled" groan's he he....
Had a good day snapping myself, enjoyed it. A lot of damaged cars after today though, gladly (like 99% of the time) nothing damaged but pride! I don't think i've ever seen as many jumps at a rally everywhere ya went the was a humpback bridge / dip / bump in the road not that i was complaining it was good to see a decent crowd turn out to watch the rally and all well behaved from what i seen.
As for the rally being back next year, fear not Muffler they usually do a rotation system for the Harvest rally base, every 5 / 6 years, that and depending on which hotel put up the most sponsership money, lol. Anyways heres a few snaps from today,and one for feelpablo too....
Winner (complete with broken suspension which has broke through the Bonnet)...
