    Does anyone know when the rally will be in the Crusheen/Ballinruan area?
    It's not very clear from their website and I'd like to get myself there to have a look.

    Yes Dr, the piece in the Clare Champion this week says that the first car will leave the Auburn Lodge Hotel at 8.30am on Sunday morning for the three stages at Dromore, Ballinruan and Clondegad. The cars will return to the industrial estate on the Gort Road for service at 11.22am and 2.14pm.

    Unfortunately, I'm not going to make it to the rally this weekend but Clare Motor Club normally run a brilliant event.

    Good Luck to the drivers and their crews, I hope they have a safe and enjoyable weekend :)

    Ballinruan Cross at 1 O'Clock would be a good time and place, will get myself down there and catch the action.

    Saw one of these looders driving out towards the auburn yest at the roundabout for mcdonalds(Driving on public roads-rally over).Didnt even look for right of way, and sped through the roundabout as if he was an ambulance called out to an emergency.Ive been accused of driving too fast many times in the past, but what I witnessed was downright lunacy.I was raging.
