Well this sucks!!!
I was so excited for this weekend! Everything was going so well too... The car is completely done. I even put a double-coat of RainX on the windshield, and was going to add some extra cuts into the tires. I was totally prepared for wet conditions.
Now I have to wait another 2 weeks until Baie Des Chaleurs...
BLACK BEAR RALLY RESCHEDULED
June 15, 2005
Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Maple Leaf Rally Club
and the
Black Bear Rally organizing committee, the Black Bear Rally will not
be
able to be held this Saturday (June 18th).
Torrential rains and high winds have ravaged the Dorset area for four
days,
creating a state of emergency. A call from Ministry of Natural
Resources
officials today advised that the roads have suffered great damage,
especially in the last 24 hours. A site inspection this afternoon
confirmed that not one of the stage roads is passable even for a four
wheel
drive truck. Culverts have been totally washed out, hills are left
with two
foot deep ruts and many trees have fallen across the roads. Even ATV's
were
having difficulty rescuing stranded cottage residents. In places the
water
is almost two feet deep - and it still had not yet stopped raining.
The Organizers regret any inconvenience this causes to all those
involved.
The event has been tentatively rescheduled to Saturday, July 23rd,
pending
all necessary approvals. Confirmation of that date will be issued as
soon
as possible.
We sincerely hope that you will be able to join us in July for a great
event.
