CORBIN & EDWARDS WIN SEPTEMBER SAFARI

Novice crew Ryan Corbin and Dustin Edwards in the Corbin's Catering/Sweet Temptations Toyota Hilux beat some experienced practitioners in the art of navigational rallying to win the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) September Safari on Sunday (September 23).
Corbin and Edwards ended the day with 58 penalties, to edge out the experienced Pro crew of Mike Ward and Willie Hinds (Niccolls & Edghill Construction Jeep Wrangler), who incurred 90 penalties to finish second; another novice crew - Wayne Archer and Rhett Watson (Nissan Pickup) – placed third, with 100 penalties.

QUALITY ENTRY FOR SEPTEMBER SAFARI

As the front-runners in the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Safari Championship all look forward to the chance of scoring more vital points in this weekend’s third round (Sunday, September 23), those responsible for running the Championship are equally delighted with the growing support for these navigational events that hark back to the Club’s roots.

CLOSE CONTEST IN SAFARI CHAMPIONSHIP

Since the media release issued yesterday under the above heading, the decision has been made to postpone the August Safari until the weekend of September 22-23 . . . thereby making it the BRC September Safari. The briefing meeting mentioned for tomorrow evening (August 21) will now take place on Tuesday, September 18.
The key reason for the change is that, due to the recent heavy rains island-wide, some areas of the route, which had already been set, are now virtually impassible, or no longer thought to be safe due to slippage.
