Rally: Rally Jamaica 2013 – Meet and Greet in New Kingston

Rally Jamaica 2013 had its ceremonial start session on Knutsford Blvd, Friday night (29th). The rally faithful and the curious came out. A curvaceous tropical flower asked – “A wha a gwaan up deh so?” When I brought her up to speed, she gazed at the machines for a while then made an about turn! I saw her moments after, supporting a column at Island Grill!

As popular as the Lancer Evolution is, the X is still not a common sight on the rally circuit.

Keeping the international theme.

WRC!!

The ‘Trini’ crew was not denied entry. Welcome neighbour!

Like busy bees, the enthusiasts swarmed the machines.

When he realised how happy he was, Keith Saunders said – “Please do not show my wife these pictures!” I hope she does not access the Gleaner on-line.

Jeffery’s machine!

The calm before the storm.

Rally Jamaica 2013 – Inspiring the next generation!

The morning after (no, not the tablet), WRC machine kicking gravel to high heaven!

Jeffery Panton has a vice-grip on the lead at present. One day to go. Bogwalk, prepare for the dust-fest!
