thatd be cool, if i show i just might.
Quote:Jesse, there are some other things you could do. Tall Pines is always in need of volunteers, and that's a great way to get started. You could also volunteer to crew for a team, especially at a regional rally. They're not as intense as Tall Pines, which is both a national event and the final one of the rally season.
You could also get your feet wet doing TSD rallies, which will acquaint you with timing (*very* important) and the general rhythm of a rally. And there are the MLRC rallycrosses for fun driving on a closed course.
And last, join a club! There are lots of clubs in Ontario. New members are always welcome.

yea my biggest trouble is getting there, its a little over an hours drive and i get bus sick so i have to drive to school everyday, which sucks up all my money with insurance etc... parents dont pay it anymore. same goes for tsd rallies, from what i can tell most are 300km long, thats alot of gas. rallycross is a little different, and probobly where ill be starting out. entry fee is affordable, but most of all it doesnt take a crap ton of gas money. at the moment my biggest problem is still being in school. things will kick off more in the next few months for sure.
as for crewing for a team, im not really knowledgeable about mechanics, i mean im not an idiot i know a few things but nothing that isnt basic or common sense. im not sure i would be any help to anybody.
