Brendo sixth in Mt Buller Sprint

After three of today’s scheduled four stages were cancelled due to inclement weather, young Victorian Brendan Reeves sits in sixth position in this year’s Mt Buller Sprint.



Reeves, and co-driver, Rhianon Smyth, recorded a time of just over ten minutes in their only run up the 16.1 km course today, and currently sit 20.8 seconds behind their Les Walkden Rallying teammates, Grant Denyer and Dale Moscatt, who hold the overnight lead.  Brendo is very happy with his run so far, with this event being only his second ever on tarmac, and having never rallied in such difficult conditions before.

Brendo and Rhianon and the entire Les Walkden Rallying team would also like to extend their sincere sympathies to the family of Paul Flintoft who was tragically killed in an accident on the event yesterday, and their thoughts are also with the driver of the car, David Reynolds, who was injured in the accident.

The Mt Buller Sprint resumes tomorrow, and organisers are hoping that better weather conditions will allow for all four of the days scheduled runs to take place.
