CATLINS COAST RALLY<br />
SNOW AND<br />
ICE ON NZ<br />
CATLINS RALLY<br />

Winner Vaughan Edie<br />
(above) mastered the icy<br />
conditions better than<br />
Bert Murray and his<br />
Mazda RX7.<br />
Several NZ Championship teams<br />
contested the Catlins Coast Rally near<br />
the bottom of the South Island on<br />
<strong>August</strong> 6.<br />
Heavy snow and ice made the<br />
opening two stages treacherous for<br />
the front runners, allowing 20th seed<br />
Vaughan Edie to take the win.<br />
The Lancer Evo 8 driver won ahead of<br />
the Evo 3 of Andrew Graves, and Derek<br />
Ayson’s Ford Escort, while in only his<br />
second rally, 17-year old Ari Pettigrew<br />
was fourth in a BMW 318Ti.<br />
Usually rivals in the Historic NZRC<br />
class, Regan Ross and Marcus van Klink<br />
were the first NZRC crew home in sixth<br />
place, driving Ross’s Escort RS1800, 1.7<br />
seconds ahead of Ben Hunt and Dylan<br />
Thomson.<br />
Hunt traded in his latest Subaru WRX<br />
STI for the event and got behind the<br />
wheel of a GC8 Impreza, running an H6<br />
3.0 non turbo motor.<br />
Tony Gosling and Blair Read drove a<br />
DX Corolla to fourth in Class B, while<br />
Matt and Nicole Summerfield in a<br />
Ari Pettigrew (left) was<br />
fourth, while Regan Ross<br />
and Marcus van Klink<br />
teamed up to finish sixth<br />
in an Escort.<br />
Subaru Legacy and Phil Collins and<br />
Tracy Spark in their Audi Quattro both<br />
left the road.<br />
Ben Hunt was seventh in his older Subaru.<br />
GUGU ZULU DIES<br />
South African rally driver, Gugu<br />
Zulu, died unexpectedly during an<br />
expedition with his wife, climbing<br />
Africa’s Mount Kilimanjaro. He<br />
reportedly experienced breathing<br />
troubles.<br />
Zulu was best known in rallying<br />
as an official driver in VW’s national<br />
South African championship team.<br />
