Hawkeswood leaves car in garage while there is some work to so. (The NZ rally champion's 'curse' - win the championship one year and then have problems getting back in a car etc the next.

Summerfield number 1 at Westland. close back to Galbraith.
Summerfield may have benefited from using a pint sized co-driver.

Brad's back
Brad Harris entered Westland Rally after 8 years away from rallying. On first stage he lost 1 minute 7.4 seconds after "the throttle idle control valve jammed on full 6km from end of stage" Eventually Brad and codriver Dave Calder finished 4th overall just 1:03.2 behind the event winners.
Here are Dave's comments after the rally.
"Great start to the year with 4th outright for Brad Harris at Westland Rally. A remarkable fight back to come from 27th after the issue in SS1. 3 stage wins and 4 second fastest stage times was a great comeback after 8 years out of the seat. You havn't lost your talent mate !"https://twitter.com/KiwiWRCfan adding a fans perspective to Twitter
