The entries open for the #JackFrostStages 2019 tomorrow evening... so for our #waybackwednesday we are heading back to 2014. One of the wet editions of the event. Nigel Hepburn and Richard Clark in the slightly steamed up Renault Clio Cup! Time to grab the trusty navigator's tool, the "cloth on a stick "! . . 📸 @hrharkness . . #RenaultClioCup #Mk3Clio #ClioCup #Renaultsport #JackFrostRally #Wets #jadedevelopments #Renault #RallyCar #TarmacRallying #StageRally #RallyDriver #CoDriver #CroftRaceCircuit #GoMotorsport #BecauseRaceCar #BecauseRallyCar #Spadeadammotorclub
Our New Year's Eve autotest is always a great way to end the year. We had an excellent entry for the 2018 event. It was won by Peter Wright in the Mini. . . 📸 (c) B.

On Christmas eve, the 24th day of our countdown, we'd like to take this opportunity to wish all our members & their families, & all our motorsport friends a very Merry Christmas, and a very happy 2019.

For day 23, we're on one of the toughest events in the rallying calendar: The Roger Albert Clark Rally. In 2012 crews were only allowed to use maps on the stages(no pacenotes), so the navigator's had to keep some serious focus for the 3 days. That year, Caroline Lodge was navigating for Jim Valentine in the Saab 96 Sport. They finished the gruelling event and took the class win. . . 📸 D.

On day 21, the winter solstice in the UK, we go back to summer time... to one of the club's non-competitive social events: The Summer Drive. A chance for club members to enjoy a evening tour through beautiful scenery, with a refreshment stop half way. Classic cars are welcome, but so is the family soft-roader or hatchback. All are welcome and it's a great way to get to know other members. . . . . #SummerDrive #classictour #SocialLife #Spadeadammotorclub #Mk1Escort #Fiat128 #austinhealysprite #VauxhallCorsaB #MazdaMX5 #AudiQ3 #MotorClubSocialLife #Cumbria #ClassicCars #Summer #PortCarlisle #costadelcumbria
A late one tonight! For day 20, we're back to marshalling duties on the Flying Scotsman! Showing sometimes, everyone needs a helping hand! The Flying Scotsman Vintage Reliability Trial is for Vintage & pre-war vehicles and is a really great event to watch or marshal on. There is no mercy shown during the special tests, and the cars, which are often large and unweildly, are manoeuvred with skill and precision... When under their own steam. . . . #ThanksMarshal #Marshalling #MotorsportMarshals #cumbrianmotorsport #flyingscotsmanrally #VintageCar #vintageRacecar #SpecialTests #reliabilitytrial #PreWarCars #vintagecarsofinstagram #SpadeadamMotorClub #Longtown #endurancerallyassociation #ERARally
You could say that we are a little spoilt being situated in North Cumbria; Kielder, Kershope, Newcastleton, Grizedale, Greystoke, Comb, Wythop and the forests of Dumfries and Galloway all within a stone's throw from us and our members take full advantage of this! For day 19 of our countdown, we're in Greystoke on the Malcolm Wilson Rally in 2012. Watching Darren Martin & @martin_steele_photography in action! . . 📸 @hrharkness . . #GravelRally #MalcolmWilsonRally #MWR12 #SubaruImpreza #Subaru #RallyCar #BecauseRallyCar #subarusti #RallyCodriver #RallyDriver #Rallying #cumbrianmotorsport #GreystokeForest #gravelrash #ForestRallying #Spadeadammotorclub #Pacenotes #UKMotorsport
