Superb
Entry for 2010 McGrady Insurance
Bishopscourt Stages
This
Saturday 13th March 2010 the McGrady Insurance Bishopscourt
Stages Rally, round two of the Hankook Northern Ireland Rally
Championship takes place. Despite the current economic climate,
an extensive entry has been received for the event, run by the
Ballynahinch and District Motor Club.
The
entry is lead by last year's winner, reigning Northern Ireland
Champion, Derek McGarrity who recorded a win on the first round
of this year's Hankook series at Kirkistown. At number two,
former NI Champion George Robinson is fresh from a third place
finish at Kirkistown and he like Derek McGarrity will be Subaru
mounted, albeit an older P2000 model. At 3, Belfast garage owner
Gary White in his 555 Subaru is hoping for better luck than
Kirkistown when the car sheared its wheel studs on the start
line of the first stage! 21 year old Stuart Biggerstaff is at
number 4, in an S9 Impreza, the rally rookie fresh from a fantastic
second place finish at Kirkistown. Raymond Johnston leads the
Group N chargers in his Mitsubishi Evo 9, Raymond the Group
N winner at Kirkistown, and rally car trader Kieron Graffin
is next up having finished a close second to Raymond at Kirkistown.
John McGlaughlin and Alan Carmichael are in similar Evo 9's
at 7 and 8, whilst top two wheel drive seed is Drew Stewart,
fresh from finishing 6th overall at Kirkistown in his MK2 Escort.
On his tail is event sponsor Fintan McGrady in his 2 litre MK2
Escort. Fintan had a great run on this event last year.
The
top ten is only a sample of the 90 odd entrants who will race
off the start line of the first of six stages just after 9 am
on Saturday morning. You can also keep up to date with the stage
times on the event, as live results are available on www.rallyscore.net
