The 2011 edition of the January Jaunt helped ring in the real winter as well as ringing in the new year. The Hamilton/Niagara area experienced the first significant snowfalls of the year over the few days prior to the rally, providing some variable winter road conditions for all competitors. Due to a traffic accident that blocked part of the route (before the odo check!), the start was delayed by thirty minutes while checkpoint workers Rob and Janet confirmed that the route was open.

Despite the road conditions, all competitors managed to follow the first rule of rallying, and stayed on the road. From an organizer's perspective, I was quite pleased to see that every competitor (even those out for the very first time) were running with snow tires! Along with wintery roads the instructions were a challenge, and not all competitors were able to follow the second rule of rallying (staying on route), although the majority completed the rally. The rally once again started and finished at the Royal Coachman in Waterdown, which showed us great hospitality.

The Experts and Intermediates had a challenging set of instructions, with a focus on mapping in Leg A, and more thought-provoking or computationally-intensive instructions in Leg B. The quality of the maps in Leg A added an unanticipated twist: the quality of the colour maps coupled with the late start/diminishing light created some challenge for this group of competitors. A small error in the explanation for Section B5 made it impossible for Experts/Intermediates to figure out the instructions (if they followed the explanation). As a result, CPs B7, B8 were scrubbed, and the finish control (B9) was made route-in for these classes (shown as 0 in the results). Nevertheless, all Experts made it through, and even worked around a small issue with the topographic map before CP A4.

I'd like to thank everyone for coming out for a country drive in the snowy weather, and I'm hopeful that everyone found time to enjoy themselves while out on the route. The final results are shown below. As always, once declared final, the results are not changed even for the odd math error. (There are two changes in the presentation of the results compared to what was posted at the finish: Competitors who did not finish are shown as DNF, and I've indicated where TAs were used by each competitor.)

An event like this doesn't happen without a lot of help, and my co-organizer Dietmar and I would like to thank everyone involved, especially the checkpoint workers: Rob Jones and Janet Tse-Jones, Fred Walker and Jane Worobess, Rob and Sue McAuley, Paul Henshall, Greg Finamore, Martin Loveridge and scoring assistants Adam Dowsett and Frank de Kat, the greencrew of Paul Leonard and Dave Jones, and series guru Robert Roaldi had a couple of suggestions that improved the instructions as well. Competitor Roger Sanderson helped us identify a substitute HAM radio repeater when our original repeater could not be raised.

For all Novices or first-timers, note that RallySport Ontario is holding it's annual beginner's school over 3 nights at the end of March/beginning of April. I look forward to seeing everyone out at other events later on during the year!
