Josh Keatley and Leanne Junnila win again and take a commanding lead in the Rally West TSD championship! The Northern Loon TSD, organized by the Edmonton Rally Club on June 1, was run under bright sunny skies and dry dusty roads. This year's event went north of Edmonton following roads that were established more than 200 years ago by the Hudson's Bay Company, and overland settlers.
Congratulations to Josh Keatley and Leanne Junnila who placed 1st Overall and 1st in Calculator class. Novices Sean Mortimer and Edouard Kassianoff finished 2nd Overall and 1st Novice in their first ever TSD event. Way to go guys! Richard Childs and Helen Welter took top honors in the Unlimited Class and 3rd Overall.
The Northern Loon Rally is the 4th event in the Rally West TSD Championship, and it is an excellent event for novice or rusty crews. It's a relatively short rally of about 350 Km, so no special preparation is required and it shouldn't be taxing on your every-day driver if you don't mind driving on gravel roads.
