We are working on a plan that hopefully will allow us to significantly increase the number of runs per competitor.

If you went to Tall Pines and are familular with the main service area at Dunegan Rec Center, its right behind it. The rec center is on hwy 62 south, about 14km from Bancroft. There is some links and maps through the Tall Pines web site if that helps.

You really don't need equipment as a beginner aside from a helmet. For the more serious enthusiast, skid plates, rally tires is on top of the list.

Classes are fairly simple, basically they are divided into under/over 3L and by two/four wheel drive. Full rules will be posted online soon.

Well, you might want to find a set of old snow tires to put on it, better grip and you won't risk damaging your street tires. I've also heard talk to putting duct tape over any painted surface that you think may get gravel spray will help protect your paint. Heck, my door seals aren't all that great, so I've pondered taping all my doors except the drivers closed, so no dust can get in (my interior gets really dirty with dust at rallies). Other than that, come on out, drive at your own pace, and have fun. Heck, for the first one anyways I'm going to be competing on blown shocks, no time to get them replaced before then. The handling is interesting, it weight transfers really nicely, and steps sideways beautifully. Remember, it's about fun, I won't be pushing all that hard, this car has to get me to work the next day!
