The Chris Smith Rally
Chris Smith was one of our rallying members, a 12 car organiser and also a Clerk of the Course for our all night road rally, “The Hartford Motors Barnard Rally” as it was then known, when he famously deposited a Hartford Sierra course car in a dyke near Salmonby.
At a relatively young age Chris had to spend his final days in St Barnabas Hospice and his family and friends donated a Trophy to the Club in his memory and ever since then we have held the Chris Smith Memorial 12 car in January with the proceeds being donated to St Barnabas.
The first event held on 22 January 1992 organised by his very good friends Phil Hancock and Gary Dixon and with a full entry the event raised £140.
The 2016 event held on 13 January organised by Cliff Doe had 9 entries and with marshals we had 25 members out on the night and raised £130 for St Barnabas.
We have now run this event for 24 years and had a variety of winners.
