VIR Rally Chair Klaus Kreye Rally Ramble
The first leg of the annual TSD rally season was run on Sunday 25 July – we could not have asked for better weather or fiercer competition! Pencils had been sharpened amongst the top contenders with the past champions given car #1 – no pressure eh! A field of 8 vehicles lined up for the start and we figured there would be two groups – four teams competing for the podium finish and four new rally teams trying this out….. 7 regularity (competition) stages took us through interesting back country roads from Cobble Hill, around Duncan, Chemainus and Yellow Point. The route ended at the Wheatsheaf Pub, just south of Nanaimo, for refreshments, a late lunch and unwinding while the scores were added. The results were unexpected in that the new team of John and Daniel Rogers beat everyone to the finish, albeit by a whisker! ….. and our past champions must have taken a wrong turn and the resultant demerit points took the team right out of contention. Remember the score is demerit points, so the lowest score wins.
