Driver/Team Report: Roger Skeete
 
Well after the Christmas/new years lay off from competition, the break was absolutely necessary in order to get the car and the team back to full strength.

Rally JamaicaFollowing the Jamaica trip the car was in need of some TLC, and Dave Crawford & Brian Jones from McEnearney Quality put in considerable effort to get the mechanical side of things right, and then it went over to the collision repair center @ McEnearney to have the various encounters with the Jamaican scenery such as sugar cane, orange tree's and water splashes that took their toll on the body work.

However with all their hard work done, I am pleased to say that I was able to do justice to their effort by having a good day @ Cherry Tree Hill and not taxing the support team beyond routine fuel and tyre issues, except for brief fuel pump problems in the official practice run that Dave & Adrian Bannister were able to eliminate before the start of the 1st official run & I had clean trouble free run without any problems achieving a 1m 26sec, and on the 2nd run dropped the time to a 1m 25sec low with two untidy landings on the consecutive jumps.

So the 3rd run was fast approaching with little time to attend to any problems as the officials were trying to get finished by the dead line set earlier in the day due to a function being held along the course, however I new that if I cleaned up the two jumps and the section down the through all those very imposing tree's @ Nicholas Abbey the rest of the course to the finish line would flow without problems, and I was able to do just that, reducing the time again by a little bit to a 1m 24sec and no damage to the car.

Congratulations to all the organizers, time keepers, and marshals for a well run event, and to all spectators for adhering to the directions of the marshals whom we depend upon have everything perfect in order that we attack these courses with total confidence that all is safe as possible.

All the very best
Roger
