FALL TSD RALLY
Rally Chair, Klaus Kreye T
he second leg of the annual TSD rally season was run on Sunday 26 September. In contrast to the Spring TSD Rally we had clouds and rain. Maybe an extra challenge?

Given the close results from the spring rally, pencils were once again sharpened amongst the top contenders, with the spring winner given car #1. A field of 12 vehicles lined up for the start to tackle the 7 regularity stages. The route took us through interesting back country roads from Mill Bay, around Duncan, Nanaimo, Fairwinds and Errington. Unfortunately regularity 1 had to be cancelled as a big semi broke down completely blocking the road. Some teams had missed the CameronTaggard Rd turn-off and so were given a reprieve! The event ended at the Trees Restaurant, Parksville, for refreshments, lunch and unwinding while the scores were added. The results were once again unexpected – many had put in a lot of hours to prepare. Once all the “wrong turns” were accounted for, the scores were released. Remember the score is demerit points, so the lowest score wins: 1st Place: 82 points Garth Webber Atkins & Rowland Atkins 2nd Place: 90 points John Rogers & Daniel Rogers 3rd Place: 105 points Ron Dempsey & Ebby David 4th Place: 122 points Geoffrey Melneychuk & Sue Frew 5th Place: 139 points Paul Rossmo & Klaus Kreye 6th Place: 171 points Brad Blaney & Steve Fairbrother
Congratulations to Garth and Rowland. That is a superb result. A big thank you to the organizers and all the participants. There were a total of 6 teams that entered both the Spring and Fall rallies and are thus eligible for the club’s annual rally championship….. and the cup!
Well done John and Daniel! – can you repeat that next year? I have received some detailed feedback – many thanks – I’m open to any other feedback.
