Our first dip into the archives features the story and entry list from the Border Counties 'Uniflo' Rally on 26 May 1974
The first all special stage
Border Counties Uniflo Rally, backed by ESSO Petroleum, took place on
26th May 1974.
It was the second rally to take place in Scotland after the Aberdeen
Stages in April, since the enforced closedown of motorsport
following the 1973 RAC Rally, due to fuel supply issues. The event was run on the farm tracks and
airfields of the eastern Borders.A field of 103 starters assembled at Netherdale car park for the Sunday morning start to compete over special stages run over the roads at Easter Housebyres, Bluecairn, Birkenside, West Morrison, Upper Huntlywood, Bield, Sisterpath, Charterhall and Harcarse Hill.
The rally then returned to the finish at the Waverley Castle Hotel, Melrose via the same stages run in the reverse direction.
