Day 18, and we're remembering a balmy summer day in August 2017... The Blue Streak Targa and Historic Rally Challenge is the club's main event of the year and attracts crews from all over the country. There are usually 19 or 20 tests, on a variety of different surfaces, each designed to test skill of the driver and navigator alike. The event is organised by a dedicated bunch of members, who are always happy to accept new volunteers. Helping organise events is a great way to understand why things happen the way they do... if you would like to get involved, check out the Blue Streak Targa 2019 page on the website (link in the profile). . . 📸 G.

It's a #mk2monday for day 17 for our Christmas countdown! We've been rooting through our archives and the grain you can see in today's photo is 100% genuine! We're not sure of the date, but we can tell you it's Nick Taylor and Craig Patterson on a mission round Hadrian's Camp, Carlisle. . . 📸 B.

We're still at Croft for day 16, but we've travelled back to 2012! The weather was slightly damper than today's and there were more excursions onto the grass in 2012 too. Most crews ended up backwards or stuck, however Barry and Michael Lindsay, just kept the 106 going forward and finished 7th O/A. . . 📸 @hrharkness . . #StageRally #singlevenuerally #Rallying #RallyDriver #RallyCoDriver #MotorsportPhotography #Motorsport #Peugeot106GTi #PeugeotSport #106GTi #peugeot #NorthOfEnglandTarmacRallyChampionship #TarmacRallying #TarmacStages #racecircuit #croftracecircuit #keepherlit #UKMotorsport #BritishRallying #Spadeadammotorclub
This weekend sees a number of Spadeadam crews across at Croft Race Circuit for the Christmas Stages on Sunday. Winter weather at Croft is often challenging... though there have been a few years where it has been dry and sunny.... like 2013. For day 15 of our countdown, we have Peter Taylor out in the Focus WRC, Barry & Michael Lindsay were in the 106 and Geoffrey Harkness & Caroline Lodge were in the Corsa. . . 📸 @hrharkness . . #Motorsport #StageRally #singlevenuerally #TarmacRallying #NorthOfEnglandTarmacRallyChampionship #FocusRSWRC #FordFocusWRC #Focus #RallyCar #Peugeot106GTi #PeugeotSport #106GTi #Rallying #RallyDriver #Vauxhall #VauxhallCorsa #CorsaGSi #MotorsportPhotography #Spadeadammotorclub #RallyCoDriver #Rally
With snow and blizzard conditions forecast for the weekend, we thought it was only right to have some winter wonderland rallying for day 14! In 2010, the Nova of David Rutherford looked quite at home in the snow, on the stages of the Armstrong Galloway Hills rally. . . 📸 B.

Day 13 takes us to Hallburn, near Longtown. What was one of many world war 2 airfields in Cumbria, became for a number of years, a base for Spadeadam events, such as Autocross, autotests and stage rallies. It was laterly used by South of Scotland Car Club to run a single venue stage rally on. Conditions on the broken concrete and gravel/mud often proved tricky. This #throwbackthursday shows Spadeadam member, Fiona Gourlay navigating for Andrew Borthwick in the Mk2. . . 📸 @hrharkness . . #Motorsport #StageRally #Mk2Escort #FordEscort #FordMotorsport #Mk2Magic #RWDRallying #RallyCoDriver #RallyDriver #rallycars #Rallying #Sideways #SidewaysToVictory #UKMotorsport #singlevenuerally #GravelRally #stagerallying #Spadeadammotorclub #HallburnStages #cumbrianmotorsport
Day 12 and we're soapbox racing!!! Spadeadam has a history of soapbox racing, we even featured in a centre spread in a national newspaper in 1960! We've raced in a number of different locations and variety of "vehicles". The competition is always tough and the competitors are always fearless.... especially the younger ones! "It's faster if you corner on 2 wheels...." 😱 . . 📸 G. Petry / B.

Is #TyreSmokeTuesday a thing? If so, we're ok with day 11's photo! Nigel Harkness just about holding on to it, during a sprint at Kames circuit in 2013. Sprints are comprised of 3 or 4 practice runs of the circuit or course, then 2 or 3 timed runs (though it depends on the event). The fastest time counts. So clean, precise, and controlled driving style is preferred.... (Yes, he ended up in the gravel!) . . 📸 @hrharkness . . #Motorsport #sprint #sprintrace #MotorsportSprint #ModifiedSaloon #Vauxhall #CorsaB #CorsaGSI #TyreSmoke #Spadeadammotorclub #corsabgsi #opelmotorsport #UKMotorsport #kames #kamesracecircuit #MotorsportPhotography #Sideways #gravelrash #RaceCar #BecauseRaceCar
