Start and Finish - Rugby
2.Harold Morley/Peter Bryant Escort RS1600

Had to look it up even though I think I was there!
(Will Sparrow's car was 1340cc)

71 Nutcracker:
Start Aberdare.
Final control was "Prynnes". Not entirely sure if this was the finish venue (Prynnes Country Club?).

71 Welsh
Start: Howells Garage, Newport Road, Cardiff (I was there too!).
Finish: Bindles Ballroom, The Knapp, Barry (near Cardiff) (although to be classified as a finisher you had to also start (but not finish!) the 10 lap races at Llandow Circuit, near Cowbridge).

Thank you, FAL!

22 / 4 / 1972 - 5° Granite City Rally
7 / 10 / 1972 - Lindisfarne Rally
27/28 / 10 / 1972 - 12° Dukeries Rally

The 72 Dukeries was a one day event, not two day (I competed in it and we drove up from London very early in the morning (and back that night, stopping to eat at Leicester Forest M1 services!). (There may have been an optional scrutineering the evening before, thus creating two dates?)

I also did the 72 Lindisfarne but that was a bit too far as a day trip - we all stayed in caravans at Whitley Bay and Gordon Jarvis, later to be Richard Burns' "mentor", was in the one next to ours!

72 Red Dragon (29/30 January):
2nd Malcolm Gibbs/Randal Morgan Escort RS1600
3rd Frank Pierson/Colin Francis Escort TC

We discussed the Mintex on another forum (jorge or carles may remember which?) and I'm sure someone had 2nd and 3rd. Clark would have been in Escort RS1600 (actually about 1850cc) LVX941J, not a TC.
As to the edition, it was the "Mintex Dales Rally" in 72 (and 73, when I did it) and may have still been the "Seven Dales Rally" in 71, so 72 may have been the first of that name. (we sorted that out too somewhere else? - TNF?)

I was at the 72 Burmah too and I am sure it was fairly late in August.

Thank you cal and FAL for the precisions !

Best regards
