A Blog About Road Rallying

My alma mata the Into The Night Rally Club begins their
season this year with a Monte Carlo Style Navigational Rally
this March 28th, 2009.

I really enjoy running the Monte Style rallies for their is less
worry about the rules and if you made the correct turn, and
more time to enjoy the spirit of driving on a wonderful road
away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

A Monte Carlo Style Navigational Rally is  a map
based rally, compared to a TSD Rally which is instructional
based.

In a Monte Style Rally, you are given the location of
the in-marker by way of clues given to you in route instructions.
At times you will find yourself on a majestic piece of the earth
taking a compass heading of a flashing light representing the

in-marker location. In other words all the pieces of information

are clues as to where the in-marker location is, and you need to
cross the hose at a pre-determined time calculated at less
than legal speeds on a preferred route. Now if you vary from
the preferred route you may have to make up some time!
Needless to say, It is a lot of fun.

This Year, the first ITN Rally is designed for the first time
rally enthusiast, with added complexity for the experienced. Thus
the name:
