The rally is now to be called “The Dick Bailey Stages Rally” in memory of the Wexford Motor Club member who sadly lost his life earlier in the year. This is to be a long-term name change.

Tonight should see the release of the start list for the 2002 event, which as always, has been heavily subscribed.

Details will be available from wexfordrally.tripod.com - printed media outlets are asked to send photographers if possible.
