Plenty of action at AMSAG Oberon rally
The meal break between stages 4 and 5 gave crews the opportunity to make any necessary repairs and to sample the catering provided by the Black Springs P&C who were running a barbecue at the hall. Spectator access was excellent, with all points easy to get to and offering good views of cars doing spectacular things. With 55 cars starting the rally there was a good variety of cars and driving styles to watch. Overall winners of the event were Richard Shimmon and Katie Fletcher in a Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VII. As they set fastest time on all eight stages they would have been hard to beat. It was obviously a day that suited all-wheel-drive as cars with this specification took the first five placings.
Full results will be available from the AMSAG web site at www.amsag.com.au. The Australian Motor Sport Action Group (AMSAG) is a nonprofit association with 500+ members which conducts and manages motor rallies throughout country New South Wales for its members. If history repeats the next rally to be run out of Oberon will be the first round of the 2019 NSW Rally Championship, probably in April. The forests around the town make it a perfect place for the sport and nobody ever leaves disappointed.
