Andy Smith - Senior Cruddle - Started as most people did in Rallying, by marshalling on local events and the R.A.C rally where he ended up as a Control Officer!

Andy then joined up with the very successful Team Eryk of Bob Morley/Geoff Moss as part of the service crew on Local and BTRDA events. Also serviced on WRC and European Tarmac events for various crews.
Started competing as a driver in October 1985, gave that up in early 1990’s – enjoyed 2 Ford Escorts, 1 Toyota Corolla and suffered a Mazda 323 Turbo 4x4. He also had a TR8, but didn’t fit.
He became the Dukeries Motor Club Chairman in 1992 after being on the Committee for a few years. Assisted with organisation of Dukeries Rally, became Clerk of the Course of the Premier Rally in 1993 until 2000. During this time serviced for Paul Blackburn on BRC and Irish Tarmac events.

Andy then started competing again as a co-driver with Andrew Davies in a Vauxhall Nova on local events. Graduated to a Mitsubishi Evo 4 and then to an Evo 7. They tackled the BTRDA in 2004 but fulfilled their ambitions by taking part in Wales Rally GB and finishing.
Andy was then squeezed into Ashley Fields Darrian on the Jim Clark rally also in 2004 and won the Wolds Rally outright, which was Andy's first and only win although he came second in 1990 co-driving for Bob in BDG Escort. Andy has also co-driven on the challenging Tour of Mull Rally 4 times finishing it 3 times, twice with Andrew Davies and once with John Stevens. One of this memories from the event was when he landed on the beach of a sea Loch when partnering Andy Blower.

Andy now aims to compete in his newly accured 205 1.6 alongside old team mate Andrew Davies, both as driver and co-driver.
