NOTE: There are several types of automobile rallies. Club rallies (regularity rallies) are usually run on public roads. A car with a driver and navigator is sent out at regular intervals, (four minutes) with a set of detailed instructions toward a destination they know not of. By following the set speeds in the instructions*, and not getting lost, they should reach the finish line at the exact same intervals. This never happens.
*e.g. “From this point drive 42 mph and turn right 1.3 miles past the red barn. ‘Don’t miss that barn.’”
Rallyist's Horoscope
BY JOSEPH BELOTTE
SOMETHING TO START OFF YOUR NEW YEAR.
PERHAPS A RALLYIST'S LOOK AT YOUR HOROSCOPE
WILL INCREASE YOUR POINT STANDINGS IN 1961.
AQUARIUS -- January 21 to February 18
You have a trail blazing mind and are inclined to be inventive and progressive so that you usually get further off course than anyone else. You are usually fair minded and tolerant, enabling you to take your losses with only major resentment. Our advise is to blame your navigator.
PISCES -- February 19 to March 20
You are fact finding, but your vivid imagination leads you straight off the rally course. You have a strong influence over your navigator and often serve successfully as the power behind the arguments. Guard against this lack of agreement and drive wherever you please.
ARIES — March 21 to April 20
You are the pioneer type with contempt for all difficulties or danger. Your imagination and energy sometimes make your rallies longer than usual. You are inclined to be a jack-of-all-roads-master-of-none. You should let someone else navigate.
TAURUS — April 21 to May 21
You are very practical, conservative and persistent. Your dogged determination and great vitality wins rallys. However, you are often too stubborn and moody when you get flat tires and get lost and are subject to frequent outbreaks of anger.
GEMINI —May 22 to June 21
You are a quick and intelligent thinker and people find you congenial for your excellent sense of humor, especially when you are describing how you always get lost. However, you are inclined to expect too much and you should learn to keep your hands off the wheel when you are not driving.
CANCER — June 22 to July 22
You are sympathetic and have a kindly understanding of your navigator's problems. You will be more successful if you just disregard him. Do not trust too much to your luck; you might have a better chance if you bribe the O.D.
LEO -- July 23 to August 23
You are a born leader, bold, energetic, proud, ambitious, and fast. Sudden impulses effect your judgment and one of your greatest problems is to force yourself to read the instructions. When it comes to a check-point you always get there before the other guy.
VIRGO — August 24 to September 23
You have a logical, analytical and precise mind which causes you to hate disorder. Don't go on rallies.
LIBRA -- September 24 to October 23
You are the artistic type and have great difficulty in being practical. You buy equipment you never use and tend to drive over cute little roads which are not in the instructions. Our advise, always drive with a good navigator.
SCORPIO -- October 24 to November 22
Your shrewd business capacity should guide you to the very pinnacle of success, however this does not help you much in rallying. Well, buy lots of equipment and maybe you'll make it.
SAGITTARIUS -- November 23 to December 21
Your optimistic and enthusiastic outlook causes people to want you to take the lead position in rallies. You have a reckless tendency and depend too much on luck and should more frequently look at the instructions. You are forgetful, impatient, and perhaps a little too fond of getting to the party no matter what route you take.
CAPRICORN -- December 22 to January 20
You are conservative but forceful, enabling you to be a patient planner. If we only had O.D.'s like you. However, you take somewhat of a fatalistic attitude towards life. Perhaps we do have O.D.'s like you. In any event, if this particular horoscope confuses you, go on more night rallies, keep your eyes on the stars, and maybe you will straighten it all out.
