MECHANICAL PROBLEMS FOR Michael Ward and Warrick Eastmond resulted in triple champions Leslie Alleyne and Chris O’Neal becoming four-time winners of the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Chefette MudDogs Safari Championship.
Going into the Nassco November Safari final round last Sunday, once dropped scores had been taken into account, Alleyne and O’Neal, in the Simpson Motors/Shell Spirax/Shell Rimula/Maxxis Isuzu D-Max, were tied on 120 points with Ward and Eastmond.
But Ward and Eastmond, who were competing in the Regional Fire & Security/Quality Tyre Suzuki Jimny, suffered damage to the drive shaft of their car during the morning and finished eighth in Route One. They were unable to restart after lunch.
Following the start at the Vaucluse Raceway, St Thomas, Alleyne and O’Neal amassed 1 178 penalties after making a number of mistakes on the tricky course set by Willie Hinds and Wayne Manning.
