JDRallysport specialises in producing Pace Note
Books for special stage rallying.
These books were originally designed by
Rod van der Straaten.
Rod competed for over 30 years. He directed many rallies including Pathfinders.
He used to give his time freely to anyone who asked
and spent many an evening lecturing at car club meetings.
Rod won many rallies, including International
and WA State Championships along the way.
He spent many hours with some of the worlds best co-drivers,
People like Louis Moya and Steffan Parmander
whose experience and help in designing
the books was invaluable.
Rod was always willing to help anybody with their navigation.
He was involved with the Rally Australia Youth Project in
it's early days, contributing not only his
co-driving skills but also as a team manager.
Rod always endeavored to improve the way he did things
He put a lot of effort into his co-driving
which included the designing of his books.
As a long time friend and colleague in rallying
he left the future of the books in my hands.
I hope that I can do justice to his memory
and I dedicate this web site to him.
