Near perfect weather added to the enjoyment for the fourth running of the Winding River Roads Rally. Rallymaster Bob Townsend chose some interesting roads in southern Champaign, Douglas, and Coles counties to use on the 100-mile rally. All seven cars completed the course without getting lost, and did so with some very respectable scores.
The rally ended at supper time at the Townsend house and a picnic was enjoyed by all. Karen Townsend was the chief chef, assisted by Tom Ingles manning the grill. Gail and Sue Meyers helped Bob man the checkpoints. Leg 3 was discarded due to a questionable closing of a road. First year rallyists Andra Manczur with Chris Saunders and John Vinton with Anna and Dean Vinton were classified as novices, even though John had rallied many, many years ago. For the first time in years, the Navigational Class had the most entrants with four teams. Many positive comments were received from drivers about the fun roads.
