2009 North Humberside Forest Rally - 28th February

The 2009 North Humberside Forest Rally which was scheduled to take place on 28th February 2009 has been cancelled due to lack of entries.

Update 22nd February - Rally Cancelled

North Humberside Motor Club Ltd regret to announce that the 2009 North Humberside Forest Rally which was due to run on 28th February has been cancelled.

At Sunday evening the number of entries received was too low to run the event at an acceptable level of loss.

The event organisers would like to thank those competitors who have supported the event with entries, the stage commanders, marshals, rescue units, recovery units, doctors and paramedics who committed their time to supporting the event, the landowners and those members of the organising team who have been working on event preparation for the last several months.

The rally was to start and finish in Whitby and use stages in the central and eastern blocks of the North Yorkshire Forests.

The rally was confirmed as a round of


Update - 19th February

By late afternoon today (Thursday) we had 37 entries received, with approximately another 6 that are "firm promises".

This is too few entries for the event to run.

Our final decision has to be made this Sunday, so if you are still waiting before entering, you should contact the Entries Secretary as soon as possible. Similarly, if you believe you have entered, but we have not contacted you, please contact the Entries Secretary to ensure that we have received your entry and you are in our count of entries.

So far, we have not banked any payments, and if the rally is cancelled due to lack of entries we shall make a full refund (as we made a full refund in 2001 when foot and mouth disease forced the cancellation of the event).

The list of entries received is at http://nhfr.djames.org.uk/elist.htm.


Update - 16th February

We expect that there will be some competitors who have been waiting to put an entry in on the North Humberside Forest Rally until after the Riponian had run.

We will run the event at less than the stated minimum of 120 entries if needs be.

The first closing date is this Wednesday, 18 February 2009, and whilst entries have been coming in steadily so far, we would still like more entries for the event.

Entries will be seeded on the entries received at the first closing date so that entries received after the first closing date will be slotted in to their correct running order by means of a start time list but will be numbered above all entries received to that date.

So if you want to carry a competition number that reflects your previous results you need to enter as soon as possible.

This event is running the up to 1400s and the historic classes in reverse numerical order ("reverse seeding") by dispensation from the MSA. This makes the event extremely "user-friendly" to the lower-powered competitors running within these blocks.

We have the asphalt service area in the centre of Whitby again, the same as in 2007 and not the area that was used in 2008.

We are having intermittent problems with the on-line entry form, and some are not being received. If you have made an on-line entry and you have not yet received an acknowledgement, please check with the Entries Secretary to ensure that it has been received.


Regulations Portable Document File are available for download on this website.
We are not printing Regulations this year, but if you cannot download Regulations from this website, please cotact the Entries Secretary and we shall print a set for you.
