Getting tight at the top
Using a mixture of what is coming up on our results screen and the live feed from Leo Nulty on the stage, we think it is tied at the top with half the rally done, and half to go. Josh Moffett has done a 5’57” on SS3 , with Meirion Evans posting a 6’03”. Here comes the tricky bit, Evans time on the results is showing exactly 40″ slower, with the gap between him and Moffett showing up at, wait for it, exactly 40″. This would lead us to think that it is a dead heat at the front of the field, this hopefully will be resolved quickly but we urge you to look at the results below with caution and we will see if this sorts itself out shortly. Richard Moore didn’t seem to be happy with his time coming to the stage end and we are waiting for his time to show up so we will update these times in another post as soon as we get information.
