Back To The Top (TTT)!
The "Rally in the 100 Acre Wood" 2005 ClubRally National Championship site is finally beginning to post about this event. They are looking for volunteers to work it. Check here
I'm hoping that we will see more of a schedule soon. A "snippet" from their page:
The 2005 "Rally in the 100 Acre Wood" serves as the 2004 Club Rally National Championship event. Champions from coast to coast will be invited to race head-to-head in the foothills of the Ozarks to crown national winners in all five performance rally classes.
What is Rally?
Performance Rallying is one of the world's most challenging and popular motor sports. Unlike any other type of car racing, rally teams must face a "track" which is unknown to them, and which consists of rugged unpaved roads across terrain ranging from deserts to mountains, including sand, gravel, mud, or snow.
At the start of a Performance Rally, the co-driver (navigator) is handed route instructions with exact mileages and simple course following directions.
For a day and a night, or several days, the team's task is to drive as fast as possible on every "racing" section with only the "transit" sections in between to repair their vehicles or relax a moment. Racing full speed on unknown dirt roads requires courage, teamwork, an incredibly tough vehicle, and a sideways-through-the-corners driving style that is thrilling to watch.
Rally cars, all street licensed and registered, are usually compact sport sedans, with the fastest being turbo-charged for extra power and all wheel drive for traction. At the national level there are five classes; two for production -based cars and trucks, and three for highly modified vehicles.
From local rally-sprints to four-day international events, rallies share the same attraction: Real cars on real roads, but driven at speeds which are difficult to believe!
This is definitely not parking lot crossing. It's off-road for sure.
I think it would be fun to at least go and watch, if not volunteer
February 25 & 26th...
Interested in going? If not, let's replace it with another get together of some kind in Feb.
