Week 6 of the Nomad Overland Rally saw more teams completing their 12 Overland Stages, more Falken Precision Challenges completed and more Stewardship activities undertaken. We now have seven teams with over 3,000 points, and more than half the teams have surpassed the 1,000 level. There was some shuffling around the top of the Leaderboard again this week, but Team 117 Lucas has managed to keep a hold on first place for the fourth week in a row, with a whopping 4,486 points. Team 121 Rojas (aka DOGRNR) climbed back into second place with 4,115 points, and Team 110 Smigiel jumped into third place with 4,000 points. The Week 6 Challenge, “Roadbooks and Maps,” gave the Teams a chance to test their skills with Rally Roadbook navigation, and many of them did quite well with it. Teams still have one more week to complete it. Meanwhile Challenge #7 was released this morning and it’s a fun, hands-on, one — “Ropes and Knots.”
Here are some Week 6 highlights from around the 2024 Nomad Overland Rally. First Place Team 117 Lucas is in Alaska, where they are picking up a lot of wildlife for the PhotoQuest. Team 121 Rojas (aka DOGRNR) now in Second Place, completed the Falken Tire Precision Challenge and is continuing with her Overland Stages in Arizona. Team 110 Smigiel moved into Third Place after a busy week, with some Stewardship activities and the Falken Tire Precision Challenge giving them a big boost. Team 123 C. Stevens was exploring with Team 124 E. Stevens around Virginia and West Virgina. Team 119 Archer had some fun out on the trails with Team 111 Potter and Team 118 Macy in Colorado. And most of the other Nomad Teams were finishing up or in the middle of Overland Stages in California, Oregon, North Carolina, Wyoming, Arizona, Texas and Arkansas this week! Check out the Leaderboard to see how everyone ranked at the end of Week 6.
