2008 January Jaunt Results
Event Report
With slightly warming winter conditions, the 2008 January Jaunt beat the annual false spring thaw literally by hours. Road surfaces were snow and slush covered, with some slippery sections, and a lot of gravel to provide traction. With instructions progressively more challenging from the Novice to the Expert classes, the 2008 Jaunt was a classic winter navex.
This was the fifth running of the Jaunt in its current location, and with 26 cars, the best attended – and also one of the best attended regional navex rallies of recent years! And with all but one car finishing, I would say the event went very well – so thanks to all, competitors and workers alike, who made this year’s event a success.
The Novice class saw a healthy mix of first-time ralliests and seasoned Novices from previous seasons. The instructions provided some challenge, with a mix of tulips, columns, straight-line instructions, Minis and snowmen looking left and right, and even a simple mapping section. The class was quite competitive, with only 0.7 points separating the top 5 teams, and second place determined by a tie-breaker!
Congratulations to Jane and Bruce Leonard on the win with 5.2 points, and the teams of Martin/Martin and Novak/Santor for keeping them honest at only 5.5 points.
The Intermediate class ran Expert instructions with a free cheat-sheet, providing hints and partial solutions to almost every section of the rally. New intermediates (and TACcies) Tim and Steven Laye finished in first place with an impressive 4.5 points!
The Expert class faced some challenging instructions to be sure, but the production of the instructions made this even more difficult, with maps scaled to be too small to read, and Fortran cards with poor contrast. But not to worry – next time, the Fortran cards will be much more legible! Night visibiltiy issues affected all Intermediates and Experts, but Bryn and Terry Epp persevered to take first place in the Expert class. Full results for all classes are listed below.
The people who work on this rally really are the key to successful execution, and I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to a great event! This year’s workers are listed below:
