MLRC Forum - RallyCross Participation

Nikola Full Member Offline Geeksters Rallying Posts: 207	RallyCross Participation 10/17/9 at 15:48:20 There are 43 online entries for tomorrow's rallycross according to the site; does that mean there's no point in going to Bancroft tomorrow and try to register in-person?

Hey Paul,

We made the difficult decision today to pull the plug on Tall Pines Angry

Not sure what events we will be running in 2010 - I am optimistic for being able to do PN, since that is a must-do before hanging up the nomex.

My question exactly. I thought that the over the hill decrepit old man will hang up the Nomex much earlier than you. Would you care to expand on your statement above?

In any case, PN is an event I would like to do while I have the ability to do it.

Jamie... looks like you'll have to sign back up for TP... cause it appears that PN 2010 has been cancelled.

Hmm... looks like I need to start scouting a route for a winter performance rally north of Sudbury.

When I lived back in my home town which is about 7 hours north of Toronto, up highway 11, I never heard of anything. It wasn't till I moved down to TO that I even heard about the MLRC rallies.

from what I know, there is nothing around Sudbury right now. I do believe there used to be a tsd or performance rally in the area, but it was a long time ago... Nickel Belt Rally... or something like that. I'd love to get more details and try to revive some of the old route if possible.

Problem up here... there are no active motorsports clubs. The closest thing to a motorsports club in Sudbury is a group of people who think atv's/snowmobiles/drag racing/karting/off-roading qualifies as motorsports. *Le sigh*

Rally of the Voyageurs/Georgian Trials would use roads around Britt, about an hour south of Sudbury (as well as around Parry Sound when it was Voyageurs). Those roads haven't been used in a rally for several years; I'm not sure what shape they're in now.

I was on the organizing committee for the Georgian Trials rally the last year it ran (2003?). I wouldn't be surprised if I've got a route book or some sort of map in a box in the basement somewhere.

I've moved three times since then, though, so it might take some digging to find.

I know I've inadvertently taken a Voyageurs rally road once. The entire time I drove it I kept thinking "Man, this would make a fantastic stage road"... got home, mentioned it to a rally friend... "Oh ya, that sounds like such&such stage."

I'm looking at roads a little closer to Sudbury... most of those stage roads are more like 90 minutes from Sudbury.

My sister lives in Val Caron. Whenever I'm up there I'm tempted to drive up the Portelance Road which goes north out of Capreol and apparently connects via some logging roads to 560 near Shining Tree.

I found some blogs of people using it access the back end of Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park and Ishpatina Ridge so it looks like it's probably passable most of the summer
