Starters: 60
Winners: Wyn Thomas/John Hands (Ford Escort)
Wyn Thomas/John Hands made the best of local knowledge when they won the Rali Dyffryn Aeron, they ended the night with a victory margin of over a minute.
However the sensation of the Lampeter MC run event was the second place achieved by the showroom standard Ford Ka of Clive Williams/Patrick Walsh, this being the latest in a series of outstanding results achieved by the crew in small engined road cars.
Keith Daniels/Aneurin James were third but could have been higher if their Nova's engine hadn't cut out twice on one of the decisive sections.
A number of potential winners disappeared before the halfway halt; Wayne Pickersgill/Shaun O'Gorman withdrew after picking up a fail at PC3, Tony Davies/Ieaun Thomas suffered a broken throttle cable on their Avenger, Mike Evans/Alan Hands' Escort collided with a cattle trough and Clive Greves/Rob Duke retired when their Chevette's altenator failed.
The Semi-Expert award was won by Richard Briddon/Edryd Evans, who brought their Toyota Starlet into ninth place overall, just ahead of their nearest class rivals Mark Daniels/Mark Howell. The first Novice crew home were Mike Rowlands/John Rees who were 30th in a two-litre Escort. Of the capacity 60 car entry, 37 made it to the Finish.
