CO-DRIVER CHANCE AVAILABLE IN SUPPORT OF LATE MARK DEMPSTER
Charities set to benefit from raffle to put winner in the hot seat on competitive event
The chance to win the seat as co-driver forAsphalt Rally Championship frontrunner Mark Kelly is being offered in a fund-raising raffle.
The lucky winner will join Kelly in an R5 car on a rally at Three Sisters Circuit in support of the Mark Dempster Memorial Car Meet.
Dempster, a former competitor, scrutineer and marshal, passed away in July after a short battle with cancer, and always longed to have a car show in his name. So an event has been arranged at the Lakeland Motor Museum in Cumbria this Saturday, September 24, with 80 cars expected to attend.
A charity raffle is being held to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support and Furness
General Hospital, Ward 9 – the ward where Dempster was treated – with the co-driver experience alongside Kelly as the top prize. Others include an electric fire worth up to £499 from fellow competitor John Stone and signed goodies from Chris Ingram and Frank Kelly.
Organiser Chris Williams said: “Mark was a good friend who I was fortunate enough to get to co-drive for on his return to rallying in 2018.
He a genuine and selfless person and deserves the best day possible. We hope the R5 experience will provide someone with an insight into what Mark loved doing and at a venue that he loved.”
