MLRC Forum - Rallysprint?

Jeff_Hagan Full Member Offline Posts: 196 ON	Rallysprint? 03/13/15 at 14:09:19 Hey, all. I'm a bit out of the loop - I've seen mentions of planned rallysprints for this year, but I can't find any specific details like where or when. Anyone have a schedule or the like?

Jeff, we are in the planning stage currently but we are looking to have a Sprint as part of the Bear on the Saturday....

The Bear will have a similar schedule as last year with Recce on Saturday and race on Sunday...

We will provide more information as we get more planning done...

It is important to remember that the Sprints are not a series as of yet so it is up to clubs to organize them and with this year being he first year it might be a little spotty... I know that the GCFR organizers are looking at putting one on as well...

Derek...

So we have MLRC running a Rally Sprint in conjunction with the Black Bear (on the Saturday), PMSC running one in conjunction with the GCFR and a little birdie told me that MLRC is considering offering another one in the late Summer or early Fall.

Reply #6 - 03/15/15 at 06:12:50 The clubs are creating dual events this year while Rally Sprint is getting established and they are willing to subsidize events to some extent, but a standalone event with only four or five cars would be very expensive for the clubs to run and is asking a lot of workers to come out for so few cars.

Jeff, we were not able to incorporate a Rally Sprint this year at LHFR as we are focusing our energy on the new road and all the work that it entails. We are also increasing the stage km.

Post-event, we'll be able to assess how the schedule worked out and whether there is room to incorporate a Rally Sprint for 2016. We'll also see, from Black Bear and GCFR, what the level of interest is.

Hope to see you at the Lanark Highlands Forest Rally on May 1-2!

That's very understandable. That potential event in the late summer/early fall you mentioned would be a standalone event, right?

I was really thinking of myself and trying to work out my own plans: I'm considering trying out rallysprints, but if I can make it to an OPRC event, I'm typically co-driving in the full rally, so the dual events won't work for me personally... though I don't expect anyone to organize an event just to suit my needs.

And even though I'm interested, I'm far from definite about entering right now. It would take quite a bit to get ready, and most of my spare time this year is going to be taken with wedding prep as it is.

Reply #10 - 03/17/15 at 17:37:37 Jeff we are working out the details, The first event will be the Saturday during Bear Recce (no schedules have been sorted so 100%) and I am not sure what PMSC is thinking... But depending on how the first events go and behind the scenes decision the second MLRC event will be stand alone in the fall... D.
