Ross Motor Club duo Dan Gray and Matt Rogers did their Morris Lubricants 1400 championship chances no harm with an excellent 2nd 1400 home, on last weekend's Nicky Grist Stages.

The Quinton Motor Club organised event was the latest round of both BTRDA and Welsh series, and saw 145 crews assemble at the Royal Welsh Showground, in Builth Wells, for 45 competitive miles in the forests of Halfway, Crychan, Monument and everyone's favourite stage Route 60, two loops of the four tests interspersed with a midday service at the Showground.

For Gray and Rogers it was a fairly trouble free day, the only real issue was incorrect tyre pressures on the first run of Halfway, they also set fastest 1400 time in ss5, and brought the I M Gray Plumbing backed Peugeot 106 home 30th overall, 2nd 1400 and a good haul of championship points.
