Saturday Dec. 4th, 2010 - Georgetown Ontario Event #9 of the 2010 Ontario Road Rally Cup hosted by SPDA-online.ca

Description:

A beginner friendly navigational rally event on fun roads in scenic Halton Hills, Ontario. A driver and navigator enter together in one car. The navigator interprets the route for the driver, who tries to maintain target speeds that are set 5% to 10% below the speed limit. This is not a race, it is about staying on route and maintaining precise timing. Arrive at registration by 10:00am to receive a beginner course at 10:45am. This Introduction File describes how a navigational rally unfolds. The types of instructions that we will be using are described here in the novice/beginner section.

Just a heads up to the teams that will be visiting us for First Frost... you're probably going to want to borrow a compass from a Scout, GPS, or some other method of measuring where North is!

Roads are in very good condition. Even a lowered street car should have no problem with these roads. Please be sure to get your registrations in so that we can bring enough instruction sets!

First Frost Updates:

With some fantastic feedback from the the green "crew" of Tim Laye, the SPDA organizers buttoned up the last few details of the rally yesterday. There were some things that Tim just wouldn't let us do, so we substituted some other little twists. ;-)

There's some snow on the ground in the northern part of the rally and the roads are in good condition. We're expecting a bit of rain and a bit of snow this week. Like last year, CAS is set for a dry rally so we highly recommend winter tires... just in case!

Registration:

Kelsey's Georgetown is opening the doors for us before they actually have any staff working, so breakfast is available next door at the Baker's Dozen, in Zellers restaurant, or there's Timmies a block east and a block west. We will, however, have complimentary coffee for you during registration at Kelsey's.

10:00 Doors (and registration) open; please bring a filled out registration
10:40 Novice class by Opal
11:10 Drivers Meeting
11:20 The Leonards arrive
11:30 Car 0 departs.

Rest break:

After about three hours of rallying there will be a rest break of approximately 25 to 35 minutes if you are running relatively on time. We will have some complimentary club wraps, spinach dip and pop for you on your break. Don't eat too much, because you'll be back for results and dinner in about an hour and a half! (Oh, and the most fun driving is in Leg B...)

Wrap-up:

You will have the opportunity to curse or compliment Routemaster Trevor in person when you're back at Kelsey's around 5:15pm. Please enjoy their fare with your $20 Kelsey's gift card while Ted feverishly tabulates scores.

Preparation:

Outside the standard equipment of a pencil and a watch that shows seconds, you're going to want to have a compass or GPS that shows your direction of travel.

So... five and a half hours of rallying on the best roads the escarpment has to offer, with coffee and snacks, and a dinner coupon included for $60!!! Why don't I have your registration form in already???

Let's see - Google Maps says it takes 4 minutes to get to Kelsey's from our house. So we can leave at 11:15 and arrive with a minute to spare!

Okay! But I'll be putting experts on the road first, so don't cut it TOO close. ;D

Argh! Someone drive for Eugene please! Poor guy's been trying to navigate for the last two rallies and he can't find a driver. I think he's a MLRC member, too!

I looked at the numbers. Hondas were actually the second largest marque in attendance!

Final write-up on the rally is back at the original information page: http://www.caslube.com/rally/ffr2010/ffr2010.htm

Interesting tidbit:

6 Subarus
4 Hondas (Civics, Accord)
2 Mazdas (3, MX-3)
2 GM products (Envoy/SUV, Solstice)
1 Ford SUV, 1 Dodge Truck, 1 Suzuki SUV... so that's four truck-like products!
1 modern Mini, and of course.... one Triumph TR4.

Mitsubishis entered in the event: 0. Though two volunteered in essential roles in the execution of the event, and it wouldn't have happened without them. I guess that outside the CRC, people in Canada don't like getting their Mitsus dirty. :-[
