No Winter Maintenance Rally - October 1st 2011

http://www.caslube.com/rally/nwm2011/nwm2011.htm



Hey guys,



I'm entering the above Navigational Road rally. Wanted to share the info for those who don't mind the dirt. You need a navigator and some equipment but not much.



Only $45 to get in on it and it should be good time. See some of the info below.

For that reason, many towns don't bother to send snowploughs out to these roads during the winter, and just groom them nicely come spring. These roads are a favourite of drivers for their smooth and fun driving nature and that's why we've strung together some of the best this province has to offer. All of these roads are easily passable by road-going sedans, coupes, minivans, SUV's ... whatever you drive to work can safely do this rally. What to expect: Why not show you videos of a couple of the roads? To make sure that all of the roads are easily passable by all vehicles, we take a low sports car on bald Toyo track tires and send it out to test the route. If this car can do it, we know you can do it in the minivan. Note how smooth the gravel roads are! This is a perfect weekend drive for a Miata or a Jeep! Where to go: We're hosting this rally out of the Flying Spatula restaurant in Flesherton Ontario, formerly known as the Grey 4 Diner, a short drive northwest of Toronto. 125 Collingwood, Flesherton, Ontario, N0C 1E0. Phone: 519-924-2424. They make a great country breakfast, so come hungry! Google Map: http://g.co/maps/7r2wu View Larger Map When to be there: Saturday, October 1st 2011, registration opens at 9:00am, and the first car is off at 11:00am. Don't be later than 10:00am! If you are new to rally, we'll be offering a quick "introduction" to the type of route instructions we'll be giving you beforehand. The novice instructions are oriented toward keeping everyone on route and enjoying the drive. See the bottom of this page for more beginner resources. The rally is approximately 250km long and will be held in two legs with a rest break for a snack. You should be back at The Flying Spatula before 5:00pm. What do I need: A driver and a navigator, bring your ownership and insurance certificate to registration, a pen and a watch that shows seconds. If you don't own the vehicle, you'll need a letter of permission from the owner granting you permission to use it in our road rally. Registration: If you register by September 26th, we'll only ask you for $45 which includes a snack during the rest break and stunning trophies if you earn one! We'd like you to register in advance so that we know how many people to expect, but you can just show up the morning of. Registration at the event is $50 per car.

looks fun! so is there like no speed limit or is it like a bull run?

This would be a timed navigational rally. Like bracket racing gotta keep a avg time. Very interesting. But not like bullrun.

Sounds very tempting just worried about rocks and ripping of my bumper. I know they test with a low sport car but still . ??????? What to do

I'm thinking of plasti dip my front for this. And my rims as I don't think I will switch them for this.

shoot this looks like so much fun umm rally the gtr nope but ill rip the crap out of my buick

Damn can't just can't. Nightwing u need a navigator

A friend is still trying to see if he can make it if not your it!!!!

bah! Alex beat me to it.

No shortage of navies. Thanks all. Just reading the mavy tulips
And lots to learn. On both ends

Wow sounds like fun.. The integra is tuned for this but its too low for rough roads and rocks.. But I think the lancer may be a good pick for this.. seein as mine is stock height (for now)

Lancer would be great choice. Should be a very different style of event.

any car + height + mudflaps = good choice for this

Yeah working on mud flaps. Ahhhh way to much to do and such. Boooo for not enough time and money LOL

Hrmm ... this sounds awesome! Very tempted!!
When I started reading this, I thought it was going to be a snow event ... but guess there's no snow in early Oct.

every lancer should be in this... arn't they all "rally inspired"??

I think that Black Lancer we saw at Hooters should be there ... Rally Edition ...
I don't think I'll be reaching though, just remembered, same weekend as annual family cottage trip. Somehow cottage date has ended up on being the same weekend as C7 two years in a row (which was cancelled this year) ...

TTS rally team. Hmmmm .

Wow tulips are cooler then I thought ;)

I'm really considering but now I believe a need a good navigator if I do

Farshark is a good bet. Be a wicked team!!

Also my guy just took the day off so he's definatly a go ATM. So I would think it would be great to have another with us!!!

This is a huge thing for me. Rally is my sport to watch and I just hope I can do.



But plan on having a good time either way.

I'll gladly Navigate for you Alex. But I dont really want to see you putting the car through a gravel road :(

Plasti dip. Two words that will save your paint.
