Oaks Trophy Rally 2004
Sponsored by Monks Heath Motors
Ecurie Royal Oak MC
5th/6th June 2004
Clerk of the Course: Marcus Watmough & Simon Cottrell
Route: 145 Miles
Maps: 118 & 119
Starters: 32
Winners: Carl Hawkins/Iain Tullie (Mitsubishi Lancer E3)
Carl Hawkins/Iain Tullie took their first win of 2004 on ERO’s Oaks Trophy Rally.
The event used 145 miles of lanes and tracks in Staffordshire and Derbyshire. The combination of pre-plot navigation and dry conditions meant that the fastest crews dropped very little time, however the rally received widespread praise from competitors.
In a close fight Hawkins/Tullie finished just two seconds in front of Michael Pedley/David Pedley. Iain Scott/Jez Harris had led initially but a missing arrow on the High Rake section saw them wrong slot and they finished third.
Mark Whitford/Steve Porter were fourth, while a close battle for fifth was decided in the final sections in favour of Simon Gibson/Andrew Hughes, as Richard Chown/Mark Wagstaff also became victims of the missing High Rake arrow.
Steve Southall/Chris Webber won the Semi-Expert Class, finishing in tenth place in their Corolla. The leading Novices Mark Randall/Craig Grist were ten places further back.
