Dear Marshalling Friends,
The organising team at Dukeries Motor Club are well into the organisation of this year’s Rex Pet Hotel Flying Fortress Stages Rally. The event will be held on the 16th June 2019 at Grafton Underwood and will be the 8th running of the event. It is the only rally allowed on Grafton and is closed to the public, therefore there will be no spectators other than those associated with the event or estate.
For those of you who haven’t been before, Grafton Underwood is a former WW2 American 8th Air Force Base near Kettering (Post Code: NN14 3AE - Map Ref: 141/927 813) and forms part of a private estate, therefore it is strictly a NON-SPECTATOR venue. Dukeries Motor Club, supported by the landowner and the Motorsport UK, continue to make considerable investment at the venue and have yet again arranged for further repairs to be made at the venue in order to maintain the road surface.
If you would like to come and join us, please contact via email to the Chief Marshal, Steve Gascoigne and copy me in as well. If it’s better for you to post the form back, please send it to me, contact details for Steve and myself are at the bottom of the form.
If you have any difficulty with the form, just let Steve and myself know the relevant information for all those in your group: - Name, address, contact number, Motorsport UK reg no: level of experience, radio call sign (if you have one) The form would be better where possible as it helps with administration and allocation.
Signing-on details will be issued nearer the event date.
