Yeovil Car Club Motorsport Radio Link is another very active area of the club. The group began supporting rallying over
20 years ago through the RAC, who, at that time, controlled Motor Sport in this country. The role of a radio crew
is to keep a check sheet to moniter a competitor's progress through the stages of a rally, so that no car is out of touch,
or unseen, for any length of time. It's not easy to lose a car at a small venue, but in the vastness of a Welsh forest,
it is very easy to see how a car could disappear. If a car has crashed, it is vital to know at once where it is, so that medical
and recovery crews can act. This dedicated group of people is very important to the running of Motor Sport. If
you join them, you will get a front line seat for spectating in rallies. For more information,
please contact their co-ordinator, Eric Stone Tel: 01460 61224
Anyone wishing to go out on the following events contact
me ASAP on 01460 61224 or e-mail maggie@bantamstone.fsnet.co.uk. I will do my best to contact the organisers
and get you a place for the event.
If you know anyone who would like to learn Rally radio please contact us on the above details and we will try to
organise to meet up and show them what is involved.
