Belgium is a dangerous place for rally. There is too many people that 
want to spectate. I have heard that there was going to be severe 
limitations on allowing cars to run through towns. there was also talk of 
limiting night stages. After Finland Belgium is one of greatest sourses 
of rally talant. Winning Belgian national championship was second in 
prestige only to British championship. By the way Munster is a Proflex 
suspention importer into UK. Proflex is one suspention all interested in 
rally should know about. It is rally bench mark espetially on moderate 
and limited budget levels.
