Hey Steve, I plan to drive it! I spoke to Chris (SRIperformance) about it the other day, he's been presuring me into it!
I've got a friend who is getting the day off work and is going to be sitting shotgun, he's also got access to helmets w/ a comm system built in(gotta check if they are Snell approved)
I'm Uber-Excited! This is going to be my first rally, and only my second real time driving on gravel/dirt. For the past week I've been going to sleep dreaming about it!!! I'm starting to make sure I've got the seat positioned right... It's like Xmas!
I just moved up to Lakewood, perhaps we should head down to Canton together. Just today I went out in search of a little gravel, very little luck, mostly just straight roads, but then I was just driving randomly...
I'll keep an eye on this thread...

This makes me want to get the RS even sooner. What would you need to compete in this? I might have a car I can run in it.

All's you need is a car.
Realy, if your willing to drive it on the roads they will take it.

No helmet needed for this rally. After market driving lights are really good to have. Going 40-50 mph down a single lane dirt road at night, you need all the help you can get. A map light is also needed. I have a permanent mounted Hella map light, but you can get a cheep battery powered map light that mounts on you clipboard at a book store. We should all go down together.

Is this going to be the last Road Rally of the year in Ohio?
I would really like to do it, but that is the first weekend that I will be living in Ohio, so it probably won't happen.
Is there a link to the site with info on it? Or is it on the SCCA page?
Thanks, have fun everyone who is doing it.

Here is the link to the NeOhio SCCA rally page [url]http://www.neohio-scca.org/rally/rally_schedules/schedrly.htm[/url] or you can call Greg Lester at (330) 836-9003. I misplaced my detailed information sheet, but I will post more info at a later date. The next Ohio road rally is the famous Ohio Winter Rally in January.

Anyone seeking a partner for the event?
I'll be in Columbus for a company training session for 2 weeks, and will be available that weekend and bored out of my mind.
I have past TSD rally experience and have won a few events running SOP class (as a driver). Navigation-wise I'm good but not great :)
Since I'll be piloting a company Taurus with no skidplate, I'd be interested in a co-drive position (or, if you're really daring, I'll drive your Suby with respect).
Interested parties let me know asap!

Do you NEED a skid plate for this road rally??? Is it that high speed???

| STORER | 09-17-2001 11:24 PM |
You don't need a skid plate for this rally. Some sections you might have to take a little slower, but your car will be okey. If your going to do more rallys, it is worth the money to invest in a 1/4" front skid plate and a rear differental guard. I look at it as insurance. Your car will get dusty/muddy, but that's half the fun.
BTW if you want a skid plate contact Primitive Racing or you might want to make your own.

Nice!
Hey where in Canton is this going on? Although I don't have a car that I would rally (Integra), I'd still like to come out and watch. My parents live in Canton about 5 minutes away from Belden Village, and I was going to be home that weekend for other reasons, but I'd like to drop by and check out the action :)
| STORER | 09-17-2001 11:58 PM |

Thanks STORER, I didn't realize that it was actually being held in the parking lot area, I thought that was where the group would first meet. Thanks for the info!
| slidewaysmike | 09-18-2001 08:36 PM |
NotAnRS---> I am tossing the idea around. That will be my first weekend in Columbus. I will have to get the okay from my wife to do it. If she gives me the thumbs up then I will do it. You can go with me, since I won't have a navigator/co-driver. This will also be my first try at this type of event, so you might get frustrated with me. I hope not though.
Let me find out what my wife thinks, (she is my sugar momma, so she makes the decisions) and if she says yes, plan on hooking up with me.

NotanRS- If Mike decides not to go let me know, I may need a co-driver. It would be my first time actually racing my car but it sure will be fun. Let me know if your interested.

Normally I'd offer to drive or co-drive for anyone, but that
weekend is a REAL rally as well, so I'll be in AZ at Prescott!
TSDs are OK. This one is usually brisk, but the ones in mid MI
are almost Pro rallies!
There are a couple local TSD rally clubs Sammy, check em out.
CORC and Dayton at the least.

Well, everyone wussed out on me, so I'll probably be there as a worker. If you see the guy in the blue corporate-looking Taurus, that's me. Make sure you go by my checkpoints sideways. :lol:
| STORER | 09-26-2001 11:13 AM |
I always try to pass the check points sideways. It brightens up the control workers day. Thanks for working, we need people like you. See you October 6!

Lucky you!! I wish I could have gone, but just moving into a new house on Wednesday, and not getting any of our furniture until Thursday/Friday makes it hard to convince my wife that I should go to the rally. Believe me I tried. Oh well, definately next time.
Good luck everyone.

Five days until the big rally. Just a few reminders for you novices:
1. Start the rally with a full tank of gas
2. Bring a clipboard and pen
3. A watch with a stop watch (AKA your typical digital watch)
4. Map light or small pen light to read pace notes at night. Do not use the standard map light that comes with the RS. It will blind your driver.
5. (3) reflective triangles or a few standard road flares
6. Water and food
7. Dramamean (spelling?) or Sea Bands to help with motion sickness.
You first timers will had some questions at the beginning Chris (SRI Performance) and I will help you out, so have fun and I'll see you all on Saturday

Another reminder for the novices.
Those roads are open to other traffic. Have fun, but keep that in mind. You can find anything from an Amish buggy to an old lady driving home from the church social. If you want to drive flat out put a cage in & run stages. Hope everyone has a safe & enjoyable rally. One more thing, beware of the red mist.

| STORER | 10-03-2001 11:10 PM |
Remember, some of the check points are "open". This means you have to get out of your car and give the control worker the nessessary paper work. If its raining and you don't have a jacket on, you will get wet. So You might want to bring a rain jacket and be prepared to get your car muddy!

Don,
If you bring a pen, clipboard and a little map light as stated above you'll be OK. We'll give you some pointers on Saturday. This is probably your first rally. Just stay on course and have fun. Concentrate on staying on time on your next rally. BTW who is your driver?

Any Clevelanders interested in caravanning down to the start point? Let's put together a meeting point and a time.
Also, anybody with Course Worker experience:
My brother is planning on comming up and working the course. It will be his first time so they will probably pair him up with someone else, but we're wondering - Do they bring the course workers up to the end of the road or would I have to double back and pick him up off the side of the road?
Thanks

I was planning on leaving Lake County around 9:00 am. If you want to meet somewhere off of the highway, pick a place and let us know. E-mail Chris too, Thanks
Your brother will be paired with an experienced person in a car. This team will time multiple check points throughout the rally. You will see him at the end and maybe at the dinner break. E-mail Greg Lester to let him know he will be helping out. It's important that you let Greg know ahead of time he will be working.

Steve, why don't you pick a place. I just moved into the area and don't know many land marks... I will have a local in the car so if it is a fairly general place hopefully he will know it... On the other hand it may be easier just to skip it, we're all going to the same place anyhow. I guess I'm just saying I'm open to meeting up for the ride down.
I haven't suggested a caravan on LERSOC, but I suppose I could over there too...

We're talking about meeting off 77 at the McDonalds on Route 8 at 9:30 am. Estimated Departure time of 9:45
I'll update later with a definate Exit # if I get one.
