Taste of history for Rally competitors From Model T’s to American muscle and just about everything in between. These were the choice of rides for the 16 crews that tackled this year’s Club Waimea Novelty Car Rally. While the V8 powered machinery may have been superior in the uphill sections of the course, slow and steady was the order of the day when the results were finally tallied. After five years of gentle country jaunts, a change of tack by the organisers saw com-

To add to the confusion not all questions that were to be answered on route, 60 in total, were of a historic nature; the organiser throwing in numerous cryptic questions to further test crew’s brain power. With the course covering less than 62 km, time proved to be more of a factor than distance, particularly as it crisscrossed itself often not to mention the complex nature of the instructions, especially in and around
