These roads aren't just awesome. For this event they actually use some of the same roads that are part of the Tall Pines Rally. So you'll get to see what things are like for a performance rally team. But at a much lower speed...

Is anyone from here looking for a nav/driver?

'cause I'll go.

Other wise I'm volenteering.. Need to know by 4:00pm

Note: I live 1hr south of this event. If any GTA folks want to try it and need a place to crash let me know..

If you're looking for a driver/navigator, you should post here: www.mlrc.ca or here: www.rallysport.on.ca. There's always somebody available.

***UPDATE***

Mark and I just entered! Little bit of C7 Representation! WHOOT!

Coffee, graval, and a ditch winch for us! Can't wait, should be a blast. If I manage to stay awake for the whole thing I'll do a writeup.

I hope Mark stays awake, or we'll hit a tree!

[Piotrov]

You guys are gonna have a hell of a time!
Looking forward to the write up!

:thumbup: Way to represent! You gonna love it John!

I may have a problem here. I just recently discovered that somehow, during the Snowy Safari Rally, my gas tank has started leaking. There's no way I can run OWR like that, so if I can't get it fixed in time, I'm going to have to withdraw... :sad:

[subterfuge]

DOH!! WHy did you post that dude! I just went to get signed up and found out that they already have "5" cars on the waiting list!!! :sad:

Looks like we waited too long. :cry: :cry: :cry:

Don't fret too much. There was also a waiting list for SSR. But there were a few withdrawls, and a few no-shows, and the actual number of competitors that ran the event was 39, even though they originally had over 40 entries. If I were you, I would just show up anyways. There are going to be some people that don't make it. Besides, chances are slim that they would send you away after having driven all the way up to Bancroft. But don't tell anyone that I said that! "There's always room for 1 more!"
