It must be ten years ago, maybe more, when Overdrive – Brian Smith and I, were competing in a Dutton rally.<\/p>\n
Dutton rallies were glorified club racing where over a period of two or three days you went to a series of race tracks, drag strips, hill climbs and skid pans to compete in a variety of events.<\/p>\n
We were a bit laidback.\u00a0 We chose novelty cars.\u00a0 One year it was a Volvo station wagon another year a Mitsubishi Magna.<\/p>\n
One time we were waiting to compete at the Eastern Creek Raceway on the very small figure eight circuit when ahead of us was a young lady in a rally Corolla.\u00a0 Compared to our mellow approach she was focused and clearly very determined.<\/p>\n
She punted the Corolla around the circuit with engine screaming and wheels throwing up dirt and mud.<\/p>\n
It was Molly Taylor, who has gone on to have an international career in rallying.<\/p>\n
She’s back in Australia rallying in a Subaru in the Australian Rally championship and she joins us on the line.<\/p>\n
