Bill Cammack Memorial Trophy Rally
Mablethorpe and District Motor Club organise this event on their most local venue Manby Motorplex.
The inaugural event was held in 2006 and has formed the first round of the Association of North East Midlands Motor Clubs (ANEMMC) championship. The 2008 event was part of both the ANEMMC championship and the East Midlands Association of Motor Clubs (EMAMC) championship.
Why Bill Cammack?
Bill Cammack was one of the founder members of Mablethorpe and District Motor Club and worked tirelessly to ensure that our club had the grounding it does today. What better way to honour our former president than to acknowledge his efforts by naming this event after him. An event we believe he would have been proud to be associated with.
Sponsors
The club is always on the lookout for a sponsor for this event. Anyone interested in lending their name to support the event should contact the Chairman Gerry Blythe on 01507 606981 or email gerry@sblythe.freeserve.co.uk
Type of Event
This is a no-nonsense, single venue stage rally, utilising the concrete and tarmac of the remaining runways and perimeter tracks of Manby Motorplex. Chicanes, built from bales and tyres, are used to provide breaks in the long straights and to make critical areas (e.g. merges) safer. Depending on the weather prior to the event there may be standing water and a full water splash to contend with. The aim is to provide a good test for the clubman driver while allowing safe conditions for the ’flamboyant’ driver.
Normally run over eight stages, four being run in a anti-clockwise direction and four clockwise in the afternoon, the total stage mileage is about 50 miles. Cars usually start at 30 second intervals.
Servicing is normally in the central ’parade ground’ area on tarmac which affords service crews the opportunity of watching their car in action as the live stage winds around the outside of the service park.
Marshalling
Mablethorpe and District Motor Club welcomes any marshals that are willing to help out. A ‘goody bag’ is provided and all competitors are asked to contribute to the ‘marshal’s draw’.
Please contact the Chief Marshal - Rhiannon Wilkinson or Safety Officer - Beth Bythe if you can help out.
Spectating
The whole of the venue is used for the stages, but there is to a carpark. Be warned, parking on the B1200 may result in your vehicle being ticketed or removed by the police.

Current status:
It is with great regret that we announce the cancellation of the Bill Cammack Memorial Stages Rally for 2013.
Having decided that the original venue at Twyford Wood was unsuitable as a rally venue due to the breaking surface and lack of mileage, we endeavourd to find a suitable alternative. The only venue that could host an event was Fulbeck. However, on the date when the Bill Cammack Rally was to happen, the Lincolnshire Kart Race Club had a race weekend. Finding an alternative date then proved an impossibility and the only option was to cancel.
We apologise to competitors who were looking forward to the event, but hope you will understand our decision.
We hope to find a suitable date and venue in 2014 and look forward to meeting our competitors old new then.
