McKinstry Heads Kirkistown Rally Spectacular!

Next weekend’s Magic Bullet Stages Rally, held at Kirkistown Race Circuit, hosts the opening round of the 2012 DGM/Carryduff Forklift Northern Ireland Rally Championship.
More than 75 entries have been received for the North Armagh Motor Club Ltd rally spectacular, which will take place within the confines of the County Down venue on Saturday 18 February.
Reigning N.I. champion Kenny McKinstry heads the entry list in his Impreza WRC. The Banbridge rally ace was pronounced winner of the 2011 event after it was sadly cut short when fellow competitor, Cyril Doherty, took ill and later passed away.
Organisers intend to observe one minute’s silence in memory of Cyril before the action gets underway on Saturday.
Seeded first, McKinstry will have number one on his doors but will have a tough job on his hands to stay in that position. As the event sponsor suggests, he will need to leave the start line like a “magic bullet” if he is to claim another victory!
Stiff competition will be provided by New Year Stages winner Derek McGarrity, who has entered with his S14 Impreza WRC, as well as Kevin Barrett and John McGaffin, also in Impreza World Rally Cars.
The crowd-pulling favourite MINI John Cooper Works WRC is set to make a return to the venue, this time with Laurie Smyth behind the wheel. Sean Cassidy will be mixing it with the big guns in his unique four-wheel-drive Fiesta, while James Gillen won’t be holding back in his Impreza.
A strong contingent of Group N and two-wheel-drive entries has been received. There is a plethora of crowd pleasing rear-wheel-drive cars, with the likes of James Kennedy, Fintan McGrady and Drew Stewart sure to keep the spectators entertained!
The event also acts as the opening round of the inaugural McGrady Insurance Junior 1000 Rally Challenge Ireland. This exciting new series is open to 14-16 year old drivers in 1000cc unmodified cars. A number of young guns have signed up, and they will contest four of Saturday’s six stages.
The event gets underway shortly after 9am on Saturday morning, while the winners will spray the champagne at approximately 5pm.

Rally TT Entry Deadline Extended!
North Armagh Motor Club Ltd has extended the deadline for competitors to submit their entry for this Saturday’s McKinstry Motorsport Rally Time Trial, which will be held at County Down’s Kirkistown Race Circuit.
Entries will now be accepted until Thursday evening, so don’t delay, submit your entry today!
The motor club has laid on a fantastic value for money event. For just £99, competitors will tackle eight timed runs through the 1.5 mile stage, which will be held on a 95% tarmac and 5% loose surface.
Six stages will count towards the overall times, and helping to keep costs to a minimum, scrutiny will be held on the morning of the event.
Leading four-wheel-drive entries include Kenny and Emma McKinstry in their Subaru Impreza WRC, while Raymond Johnston (Escort Mk2), David Armstrong (Escort Mk2), Roy Haslett (Escort F2), Martin Teggart (Escort Mk2) and Keith White (Escort Mk1) are among the leading two-wheel-drive entries.
“There are 25 entries at the moment,” said event sponsor, Kenny McKinstry. “The motor club needs a few more to make it viable to run. I’d really like to see more competitors support what must be one of the cheapest events of the year.”
“Kirkistown is a great place for a day’s fun without the higher costs that comes with other events,” McKinstry added. “So I’d like to urge anyone with a rally car in their garage to bring it out for a day’s craic on Saturday!”
For a cheap day of motorsport thrills, get your entry in quick!
