hello rally guys/gals i'm a 17 yr old kid thats looking at getting into rally, i've for the longest time wanted to do this but i really wasn't sure how to get started.

so...
how old do you have to be to start rallying?

who can i contact for infomation on races and events?
(to help out at check points or what ever there is to help out with)

what type of car would be good for a starter like myself?

ya i know i'm young but i just love rally! every time that "canadian rally t.v" thing comes on, im glued to the set

all i can say is, i love rally (well haha i dont really know yet but you get what i mean Grin)

thanks guys

A good way to learn is to start out helping checkpoint teams.

Maple Leaf's next Mini Rally is on Monday, June 9th.  We meet at the Service Centre on the 400 just south of King Sideroad around 7 PM and you would be done no later than 10 PM. Contact Ken at minirally@mlrc.ca if you would be interested in doing that.

Our next performance rally is the Planet Motorsports Black Bear Rally on June 14th in Dorset, Ontario (north of Minden).  If interested in that, contact ross@tallpinesrally.com

1) Martial Some events.
2) Convince Parents to let you use thier car for RSO/CARS/CASC-OR sanctioned events
2a) Rallycross your parents' car.
2b) Fix damages to parents car.
3) Martial some more
4) Take up co-driving
5) Realize you suck at co-driving, then hemmorage money on buying/fixing/running your own car.
6) Profit*


*by profit I mean continue to hemmorage $$$.


Hope this helps.
