Does anyone know if there are any amateur rally racing events left in the northeast? Any details would be appreciated. A bonus would be to know about car classes, particularly around 2wd VS 4wd. Thinking of rally racing a 911SC. And please don't mention the Targa NFLD... logistics outside my price range.

Thanks in advance for any information.

NEW YORK WINTER RALLY
Saturday and Sunday, January 23-24, 2010,
a snow / gravel rally

or


RALLY NEW YORK USA,
April 16-17, 2010, a tarmac rally


second event could work as its a tarmac rally, and could be good practice for LRP fancy a co driver?

FredC

You're in and i hope you are not kidding. This could be a ton of fun (...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2BH3sIqevo ). But, i want to pick an event after the Road America club race... I assume rally could bring hardship to the car... but not to my navigator of course

Joel just picked up his GTI rally car. We're talking about doing a time share for ice racing and rally. the rally schedule in the NE is surprisingly poor. NASA is sanctioning events across the country but nothing good in the NE.

Fred, I am not so sure you want to race your beautiful podium D car in a rally.....

Lots of mud, rocks and unpredictable terrain.....

If he needs a spare driver, let me know.....

Club racing in the summer and rallying in the winter.......that is my dream......

FredC

Yes, it is re-becoming "beautiful".... I would be more interested in the tarmac events...

BostonDMD

Fred, I still wouldn't risk your podium car......

Lots of FWD and AWD for rent and ready for the unpredictable rally winter events.....

DanR

RWD is the way to go for sure, granted any would be fun but getting the rear out is the best. First time I tried it in the uK was in a 1978 mk2 ford escort with a 2.0 cosworth BDG engine and that thing just sung. I spent the whole day sideways and it was superb fun

then we are in business.

Fred...big snowstorm headed your way. Take your street car out, it'll be just like the Finland Rally!

Already stocked the suv's cupholders with beer and vodka... headed for the backroads by midnight!!!!

Breakfast of Champions!

SUV's in the snow are for quitters, though. Sack up & take a V8 Mustang or something.

Fred, you can pick up a rally car for next to nothing to just go out and bang around - less than $5k. Julio charges $5k to walk in the door
