DAVE Tinn stamped his authority on Clitheroe DMC’s Hall Trophy Rally, posting the fastest time on every stage.

The Proton pilot pulled out a three-second lead on the opening test and was never headed all day.

Tinn, who was co-driven by Marc Fowler, even beat the bogey time on stages two to five.

Second place went to Will Owen and Rob Hipwell in their Ford Escort Mk2, 54 seconds adrift of the winners, with third place going to Ian and Stephen Woodhouse in another Escort.

“We had a faultless run, and hardly put a spanner on the car,” said a delighted Tinn at the end.

Class one victory went to Ben Bloor and Tom Rowley (Nissan Micra) ahead of Charlie Stephens and Chris Pattison’s Micra.

Matt Roberts and Sarah Hughes led class two all day in their Citroen Saxo while Stuart Ranby and Ian Bass topped class three.

William Creighton and Neil Colman won the Junior category in their Citroen C1, a result that gave them the Junior Rally Championship title.

The rally proved a huge success for Clitheroe and District Motor Club, with universal praise from competitors and spectators alike.

“A massive thank you to everyone involved helping on the Hall Trophy Rally,” said event secretary Heidi Woodcock.

“You have made it a success.”
