RALLY SNIPPETS
BANKS PENINSULA’S POMEROY TROPHY Words Michael Williams and photos John McDonald
THE YEAR OF THE SUITCASES The website of that venerable institution, the Vintage Sports Car Club of Great Britain (VSCC), tells us “The car that wins the Pomeroy Trophy is always a true all rounder driven by a great driver” And so it came to pass that 30 aspirants to that description gathered at Ruapuna in mid January to contest the Pomeroy Trophy, one of the most irritating and fascinating events on the Banks Peninsula motoring calendar. As many are aware, The Pom is about driving skill, knowing the limits of both you and your car, and crucially, accepting the distinctly quirky rules that Mr Pomeroy decided to impose.
