Scouts Rally S.A.

Scouts SA have again taken up naming rights for the 2012 Rally of South Australia, the 4th round of the BOSCH Australian Rally Championship, the oldest continuing national championship in the world.

"The aim of scouting is to encourage the physical, intellectual and social development of young people so that they may take a constructive place as members of their local communities," said Dan Ryan, Scouts SA CEO. "Getting our Scouts involved in many levels of a national motor sport event will serve that aim very well, and provide many relevant opportunities and experiences."

The South Australian Rally Championship and South Australian Clubman Series point scores have been released following Scouts Rally SA (SARC) and the Henry Lawson Memorial Rally (SACS). With 50% bonus points on offer at Kuitpo Rally both championships are both still very much alive! With any of the top 7 crews in the SARC in with a mathematical chance to win the state championship!

Young SA driver Guy Tyler contested the Scouts Rally of South Australia last weekend.

Held in the stunning Adelaide hills, Guy and Co-Driver Andrew Challen entered both the South Australian Rally Championship (SARC) and the Junior Australian Rally Challenge (JARC).

In a dramatic day of fluctuating fortunes Justin Dowel has taken his first ever win in a round of the Bosch Australian Rally Championship after a torrid rally-long fight with Mark Pedder which ended with a blown engine just three stages from the finish.

Dowel in his Mitsubishi Evo 9 pushed hard but was driving with his head and not his heart aiming to secure the overall rally win which was handed to him on a plate in the end, when Pedder retired his Lancer Evo 9 within sight of the finish.
