Whiteman’s Trial 2025: Mud, Mayhem, and McKinneys
On March 8th, 2025, the verdant fields of Whiteman's Farm in Northern Ireland transformed into a battleground for the brave and the bold. The Whiteman’s Trial, a staple in the Sporting Trials Car Club (STCC) calendar, saw competitors navigate treacherous terrains, all in the name of glory and, perhaps, a bit of fun.
Top Performers:
-
David & Suzanne Webster – Piloting their trusty Red Indi, the Websters danced through the mud with finesse, clinching the top spot with a mere 48 points. Their performance was so smooth, rumors suggest they might have bribed the mud gods.
-
Ryan McKinney & Ian Nevin – In their Blue Live, this duo showcased determination and grit, finishing second with 63 points. Their vehicle, now affectionately dubbed "The Blue Beast," might need a spa day after this ordeal.
-
Tom McKinney & Alan Jeffers – Not to be outdone, this pair secured third place with 68 points. Their Live vehicle, though slightly muddier than when it started, proved its mettle.
Notable Mentions:
-
Harry Barr & Alan Finlay – Finishing fourth with 81 points, their Red Indi seemed to have a love-hate relationship with the terrain.
-
Michael & Joanne McBratney – This dynamic duo took fifth place with 86 points. Their Indi vehicle, now a shade darker thanks to the mud, stood as a testament to their perseverance.
Rookie Revelations:
The trial also welcomed fresh faces, with several rookies making their mark. While they might have accumulated a few more points (and mud) than they'd have liked, their enthusiasm was infectious. Special shoutout to Neil & Uel Campbell, whose Rookie Indi now has a permanent mud mask.
Final Thoughts:
The Whiteman’s Trial 2025 was a whirlwind of wheels, mud, and sheer willpower. As vehicles were hosed down and stories exchanged, one thing was clear: in the world of sporting trials, it's not just about the destination, but the muddy journey along the way.
