Big T's Startrek Night Navigation Trial

I think that some are still lost!

5 November, 2006

So, the event is over, the maps are burned, I think that at least one navigator has decided "Never Again" and the COC has swore that he is never running any event ever again (at least until the next time)

The event was won by Tadgh O'Shea & Kieran Daly, who cleaned the course! Andrew Mackeral & Liam Higgins were second, on ONE point. Overall, it was a low scoring event, with the top twelve being

Some notable results are Niall & Shane Maguire (yes, that Niall Maguire) First in class, "Shotgun Jim" & Greg McCarthy Second in class, Michael Murphy & Pat Cashman second in class, and "Bones" & "Felix" third in class. In addition, "Cookoo" & Daire Hayes also came third in class driving one of those ugly Suzuki jeeps that seem to be breeding in the Cork Motor Club!

Unfortunately, Casey RallySport came fifth in class in their first night nav, and Camper didn't start due to clutch trouble in "The Onion". I fear that this will be the pattern for the rest of the year, Camper not starting, and the Casey Rallysport Gang steadily improving!

The Calm before the Storm. "The Onion" is behind the "SLOW" sign, funnily enough
