Our intrepid Editor discovers Tilt March How to get from point A to point B the hard way Block Parents programme organizing by BUI Johnston Mention a Sunday drive to a member of GT Motor Club and you il likely end up bouncing over every pothole in north Ho lion and a bit of Peel thrown In for good luck They re not you would call your typical lomoon drivers They actually enjoy sitting down after miles driving back roads main roads side roads no roads roads that look an awful lot like lakes and then laughingly tell you about getting lost Alter last Sunday you con take the word of this editor about some of Ihe activities of the GT Motor Club I was there or at least my navigator Allan tells me I was Go to cover story and nine times out of ten you get in volved Go to cover a meeting you end up the recording secretary Go to a blood donor clinic you end up giving blood Go to a car rally end up rallying Thais what happened lost Sunday We went to cover the start of the GT Motor Sport Club spring rally at Cedarvalc an office supervisor with a life in company wanted to know if anyone needed a partner preferably a navigator Never having been a rally before the first reaction was why not However driving I done before navigating never So while Allan did his calculations with his pocket calculator and his thick book of tables and charts I tried to keep my ear on the rood and travelling at an average speed Which is all easier said than In fact the whole business of a rally is easier said than done Driving between a starting point and a finish point can t be all that hard right And to make It all that much cosier the organizers Neil Young Steve Lawrence and Hugh put together Sundays rally even give you hints on how to gel from point A to point B But that where the easy port ends Rallies are tough work for navigator and driver Like between he starting point and the finishing point arc some of the toughest roods in this neck of the Some looked to rarely used expecting to see a band of Indians come charging the hill I mean getting from Georgetown to Acton should be a simple matter Out via And a few other places Like that washed out road which probably sees about five cars all year but last Sunday saw 10 cars slipping through sliding to a halt making quick turnarounds and slipping back from wherever lhe had come from and wherever they were hoping to go to And If that t difficult enough you only get a certain Georgetown They give sign directions that don t tell you to mnkc a left but instead tell don t a right turn and don go straight ahead What Left But if cor rally did prove one thing it that beginners luck still holds true Once everyone had managed to slip their way bock to Iwe lose i me and nil the penalty pointi were nil added up the rookie team of and Johnston somehow had finished deadlocked In first place Unfortunately we made It to only one checkpoint exactly on time while Vern Dak Johnson and Lorry in their right on for three of the checkpoints our was placed second with penalty points and Brian Robinson were third just one point behind Lee and Glen wire and Tom Kcdcr fifth Flame sixth lljrnc seventh Lathnn and eighth Hob aid nmlh and Ulan Scott Douglas Charlton tenth The next event by way on the GT Motor dub calendar Is a slalom slated for April the south east comer of tht parking lot amount of time to do all that slipping sliding bumping from A to Thirty seconds too late is bad 30 seconds too fast and you re really in trouble point wise because that means you ve been going faster than the allotted 5 or or 25 Which is pretty hard when you stuck for a minute behind the GO bus in downtown Georgetown and you re already late And Young Lawrence and don particularly believe In giving you normal the mill directions like take
