A Saturday in september I went to the Rally Principe de Asturias with some friends. We went to the 12th and 15th Special Stage (the same, they drove it two times), which were the last stage of the rally. I wake up at 7 o’clock, I started my Ford Sierra, I pick up my cousin Jose and our friend Jorge, who came from Ribadeo to go to the rally, and we went to Pola, where Pikero, Omar and Sara were waiting for us in the Pikero’s Ford Capri to go.
We went to La Campa de San Juan, a famous crossroads on what some people sleep the night before the race. There are a couple of curves there that makes the zone spectacular. As we expected, the level was high and cars drove so fast, on the first pass the three first drivers were in fifteen seconds at the global chrono time (unfortunately on the last pass Alberto Hevia had lost many time because of a wheel flat, and the rally was decided). We ate our sandwitches between the first and the second special, and at middle evening we return home. My cousin and Jorge also went home when we arrived Oviedo, so they had to go for an hour and a half more than us to Ribadeo.
Bad luck for Berti Hevia, if that wheel had not puncture, he would made his best rally and he would win the race, or he almost be the second. In an international rally it is a very good position, and he deserved it. So that’s life.
