The WIN TV Rally in the Valley, organised by the Ford Four Car Club and directed by Alan Patterson, was held on March 25-26.
Round 1 Victorian Rally Championship
The Rally in the Valley set the scene for this year’s VRC, with a close tussle between Scott Pedder (with Paul Humm) in a Lancer and Brett Thomson (with Rob Vanderee) in a Galant, with Pedder winning by a minute. Ian Martin (with Roslyn Martin) in a Subaru completed the podium just 15 seconds further back.
It was a similar situation in the 2WD championship. Darren Crozier (with Andrew Duggan) in the Gemini finished just 8 seconds ahead of Murray Rogers (with Ross Green) in the Toyota Sprinter.
