Title: Lanark smack talk...
Post by RyanHuber on 04/21/12 at 22:09:26

Alright, where's the smack talk for Lanark? Everyone ready? ;)

I figure there's about 8 cars that have a legit shot at winning the rally, should be a good fight.

We've got a few new names out there as well, should be great for them too!

For sure should be some great competition. Unfortunately we likely lost Peter K yesterday when he blew his engine on the Test Day on his last run of the day.

I'll let you top-runners engage in the smack talk  :D but I just want to say that PR works! I will be following the new team of Francois Gauvreau and Guillaume Roussin. I met Francois when we took the four-day Team O'Neill school last fall, and I talked a lot about LHFR. He finished Rallye Perce Neige (his first) and I was pleased to see that he's entered LHFR.

I like everyone to enjoy my part of the world!  :)

Looking at the entry, i think we are going to have good battles all the way through the order.

Good entries in Group 2!  with a bunch of new teams and new cars!  This is really to see!

Should be a good battle at the top between us open guys as well.  I'm looking forward to it.   If we all make it to the finish, it will be tight!

Does anyone else have the kahunas to beat the 7 minute stage time and join the ranks of Chris and Leo?

You need to be moving really fast to get to below 7.

So at quick glance it seems Nick (A2) and Ryan (A6) had the loud pedal to the floor and got the impressive sub 7 times. I think Nick even beat Chris for the sub 7 time of the day

2 brits time of 6:54.xx was an incredible time!  Anyone know what Leo's fastest was in 2010?

When we ran the 6:59.9 (HAH!) it was pretty obvious to us that our car at least wouldnt go much faster, so when we got 2 brits time we were pretty impressed!

Stage length when Leo got the 6:44 was 9.89kms This year stages where 10.66kms

I will leave it to someone with a calculator to calculate the average speeds for both distances

I'll have to check my in-car from last year, and compare to this year.  

But my gut says:

Northbound 2012 (stages 1,3,5,7) were the same distance as 2011

Southbound 2012 (stages 2,4,6)  were atleast a couple hundred meters shorter than 2011

None the less... 6:54 was fast!  we were aiming for a "50" on SS4...but that didn't happen  >:(

Yeah, southbound was shorter this year than last, north was the same. I'm not sure if the road has gotten faster vs when Leo set that time or not, but I suspect a bit of it is the rest of us are upping our games a bit. Great stuff!

According to Results distance is 10.66kms both directions. However that could be an error and I don't have a Routebook to check against

Certainly some impressive driving by all. I felt that road to start the day was in better condition than past years

Pete, is that distance control to control or to the FF? The Flying Finish was earlier this year, we had to change our notes.

I looked up Sandro Munari's time in the Lancia Stratos from the 74 Rideau Lakes. 7:22.2 and the stage was 8.45 km. As far as I remember it was at night and there were no pace notes. This was the first stage that I ever spectated.
