Round 5 RIAC National Night Navigation Championship
Round 4 Senator Engineering Munster Night Navigation Championship
by Fergus N Casey

"Bones" O' Conor / Paul Phelan scored their third straight win in the RIAC National Navigation Championship on last weekends Cork MC "1000 Shakes" rally. The win, helped in no small way by the retirement of early leaders Pat Willoughby / Vincent Fagan whose Opel Kadett developed electrical problems, has moved the former Champions into third spot in the Championship standings with just three rounds remaining. The night saw a host of penalties as crews tried to come to terms with some very tricky navigation and "plot & bash".

Second place, and their best result of the season thus far, went to the defending Champions Damien and Aiden Courtney. The Monaghan brothers were under pressure to deliver a good result in their newly fettled Uno Turbo. A distant third place, on a torrid night, was enough to keep long time series leaders Pakie Duffy / Harry Bleakley at the head of the tables.
