First 50 entries for DMACK Carlisle Stages
 The
first 50 entries have been received for the 2015 DMACK Carlisle
Stages (Saturday 13 June) in just two weeks following the
publication of the event regulations.
The rally will feature three major championships: the REIS/Ravenol
BTRDA Rally Series, the MSA English Rally Championship and the
West Wales Rally Spares R.A.C. Rally Championship. The event
will also be a round of the S G Petch Association of North East
and Cumbria Car Clubs Stage Rally Championship and the
Association of Northern Car Clubs Forest Challenge.
“We’ve been delighted with the early response to the DMACK
Carlisle Stages,” said Clerk of the Course Nicola Heppenstall.
“To have over 50 entries with over five weeks to go to the rally
is a fantastic start and we’re really hoping that we’ll get to
the maximum entry of 150 cars.”
The event offers 43 stage miles in the Kershope and Newcastleton
complexes for a competitive entry fee of £470. The entry fee
reduces to £420 for Rally First contenders for the first BTRDA
event in Kielder for over 20 years.
The regulations are available on-line at
www.racrallychamp.org/Carlisle_Stages/competitors.htm
The Roger Albert Clark Rally Motor Club will run a compact event
based close to Carlisle using superb stages. The rally will
again be based at the premises of the R J Murray & Sons Haulage
Company in Longtown, Carlisle and will cover 43 stage miles and
just 99 road miles. Only eight miles of stage will be
double-used, thus ensuring the best possible road conditions.
The first car will start at 8.30am and be back at the finish at
around 3pm on this compact event.
Scrutineering and documentation will run from 2pm until 7pm on
Friday afternoon.
The DMACK Carlisle Stages is organised by the Roger Albert Clark
Rally Motor Club.

format has been designed to make competing as convenient and as
cost effective as possible, we are very aware that a lot of our
entries will come from the south,

challenge for many of the regular BTRDA contenders, while some
of the R.A.C. Rally Championship crews will be back for the
third time. We are very grateful to
