Some Images from the 2000 March Hare (the 2001 was cancelled because of Foot and Mouth)
There’s not long to go now till Murray’s March Hare on 10th March. This is the third running of Falcon’s revived road trial. It’s a Clubsport event so a Competition Licence is not necessary. However, your car will need to be taxed as there will be around 80 miles on the road as well as the trials sections.
If you have never done a Classic Trial before this is the ideal event to get your feet wet (perhaps literally on Half Moon Lane). There is something special about a road trial. It’s a completely different atmosphere to a single venue event. The biggest challenge is to get your car round the route and back home again in one piece. Reliability is very important if you aren’t going to call the AA man!
The sections themselves will tend to be rougher than your average PCT but that’s considered part of the challenge. They will also be longer, probably straighter and you may have to stop on a steep part of the hill and re-start again.
Classic trials also have timed sections called "special tests" there are used to resolve any ties that may occur.
Murray’s March Hare will require lot’s of marshal's, so if you don’t plan to compete please come and help out. Contact Verdun Webley or Arnold Lave (see the Falcon Page). The main thing is to be there, don’t miss out!.
