A broken suspension and a dodgy diff
More on James Stafford and Graham Scallan. Stafford came down heavily coming over a jump and broke part of his left rear suspension. Looking at the car in regroup, there was a noticable camber out at the top of the wheel, so it is a credit to the skills of the Clonmines man that he got the car through the stage and back to service. In the spirit of rallying, rally leader Mark Straker is lending Stafford the part to get back up to speed. Graham Scallan is delighted with 5th place at the minute given he is running the car in a wet setting as running in a dry setting is causing his diff to lock and making the car unstearable, a reocurring problem from Monaghan. Here are all the times we have for SS4 so far
