The opening round of the Triton Showers National Rally championship and the Squealing Pig Border championship will be hosted by the Midland Motor club this Sunday with the Jermey O’Connor stages rally.
A top quality entry list has been received by the club; with current WRC crew of Josh McErlean and Eoin Treacy the number one seeds in a Ford Fiesta.
Indeed, defending national champion Josh Moffett and his navigator Keith Moriarty are at number two in their Citroen. Whereas, Matt Edwards and David Moynihan complete the top three in their Hyundai I20.
Having been an-opt out round last year and the first round of a number of championships; a large crowd is expected to descend on Longford town and its environs over the weekend.
