A Road Rally is not a Race. It is a test of driving skill and precision navigation. even a well seasoned driver will be challanged.

The this event will take place in the afternoon and evening, traversing the state forests of west central florida. Roads used will be both paved and unpaved (dirt and sand). Legal speeds will be used.

It is highly recommended
that vehicles have reasonable (4") bottom clearance, many rally roads have no street lighting so auxiliary lignhts may be desired. All competing vehicles must be street legal, properly registered and insured.

Each team must consist of 1 vehicle and 2 people, a driver and a navagator, additional passengers will be permitted at the discression of the rallymaster (must have seats and belts for all occopants)

I don't think Viveks or my car will meet that recommendation though I could adjust mine and I think he can as well.

Hmmmm. . .

Nice to see the SCCA support this event. I'll send a PM so we know what the tech consists of.

[treekiller]

4" is not a lot, even most lowered cars are within this guideline.

Tell that to the guy who slammed my coupe in TX on stock shocks no less :nono:

I'll have to check the hatch, but I have gotten it stuck before :oops:

[clean teg]

shit I'll have to raise my integra 2inches

[95gainfla]

care to share the tech portion please? i think this would be fun.

[treekiller]

???

[jlude90]

probably asking what tech entails

i think i have 2,5" clearance, i need to figure something out...

[bam2002]

Tree, can you tell us are the non paved roads just dusty or would we be advised to not use a car with a stiff suspension..

I got the Email from you and will be sending in the paperwork shortly.

B

[jlude90]

thats the impression that i had, if not i need to steal my girls stock suspension, i gave mine away but i may need it anyway to achieve ground clearance

[Loren]

Rent a car.

[bam2002]

im not worried about clearance , more about paint job. So I do have a few oldercars that it wont matter if the paint gets chipped. Last rally i did on dirt roads the Citroen DS lost a hubcap and we had to turn around and find it.. plus if we went at a quick pace the stones were banging the crapout of the car.

So I guess I can rent a Tarus.. no one will care about a Tarus. Or even better yet a Cavalier, we know they are faster than a Nissan

Man BAM, you really know how to hurt a guy... and you need a correction... A GIRL in a cavilier is faster then a Nissan, when said Nissan is driven by a man with a girls name (Ducking)

[bam2002]

LOL

nope I just wanted to stick in the knife.. not twist it..

I am home now so I will be sending out the application and check by fri..( tomorrow)

Can wait.. this sounds like alot of fun.

[treekiller]

Got some Nice Lift from the rallycross.


Looking like 40 will be hit well before the cutoff!

Jeff

[bam2002]

Cool I am glad there is that much interest. I am looking forward to this event. You should see my paperwork wed or so..

So you never answered , RE the amount of paved surface vs dirt/gravel. If its not giving to much away... If there is going to be a fair amount of dirt/ gravel Ill drive a car I dont care about the paint..

[treekiller]

expect 60+ miles of Forest stages

[chi town brat]

expect 60+ miles of Forest stages

forest stages means roads for a 4 wheeler? or just farm roads?

[Loren]

Don't worry, Jeff's not taking you on any roads that he hasn't driven more than a few times in his Sentra. I expect he'll be kind enough to point out in the route instructions anywhere you might need to slow down for safety. He's good that way.

these are from a preivious Rally we ran but give you an idea of "forest" roads

To recieve SCCA sanction and insurance I HAVE to have A Rally steward drive the entire route at rally speed to determine it's saftey if he deems anything too difficult I must change it. and he drives a honda accord. (not exactly a Jeep)

and I have allready approached some suncoast flatlanders (4x4 club) to run sweep, so if someone does go off into some deep sand they can get pulled out. (the sand is the only REAL threat if you miss a turn or just drive off you Might get high centered, but if you drive within your limits you'll be fine)

It's also common courtsey if you pass a car that has driven into somthing they shouldn't have without someone helping them that you stop and assist If you buy a $10 bright yellow tow strap at wallmart, and signal the oncomming rally car with it he will stop, and get you going again, if you get "Goodnstuck" that's what the 4x4 club is for.

[chi town brat]

looks fair enough . we should have the reg filled out this weekend and out to you . thanks for the photos . it was what i was thinking of

[pullg]

Don't worry, Jeff's not taking you on any roads that he hasn't driven more than a few times in his Sentra.
That's only comforting if you don't know Jeff.... ;)

Still trying to decide which car to enter...Miata, resurrect the Prelude, try to talk my wife into entering her Cooper S, or just run the minivan on the grounds that it's hard to hurt. The 'Burb would be perfect, but even if I get it put back in running condition, it still pops out of 4th at speed...bad idea to hustle a 4000-lb vehicle with vague steering along with one hand....

[HUGHJASS]

i want rally!!

[treekiller]

we just finished the offical Pre-run yes Clearer heads prevailed and we decided to lop off 5 miles of roads and our decision to move the scoring to "monte carlo" style will make competing easier for the green novices. all in all a great day... I'm stoked.

[Loren]

Hey, Jeff, sorry I never called you back this weekend. Seemed like you had things well under control (and you did), so I left you to it. Sounds like things are REALLY coming together!

[gsx97]

I want to try to go, Iam new and want to try something besides drag

[treekiller]

I want to try to go, Iam new and want to try something besides drag

Come on out. this event will have Very specific Route instructions so First timers do not get lost. and there is NO WHERE else you can get this much seat time for this little bit of money.

[fastforward]

Can i run a Jeep Liberty 2WD?

[treekiller]

Sure Can.

[clean teg]

oooo no pavement!!

[Charles]

I've been slacking Jeff......... I'll print the form tonight and send it in..... you don't take paypal do you? If so throw up the email addy

[_Charles_]

It looks like ^^^^^ and I are going to do this together. "Team Charles"

Can you give me an idea as to what the instructions will be like? What all I should bring? And what to expect as a navigator.

I'm great with maps and directions, but I have no idea what to expect for this event.

[road racer]

Is this some thing worth driving too to watch or strickly competion?
Cause my Sti will make it but I wonder if there any room to park and watch, and if I can does it cost anything. I would love to watch this event.

[treekiller]

Unlike a Stage rally Only Myself and the checkpoint workers will know the course before hand. so there is no real place to watch. however if you want to work a checkpoint we can put you with an experenced crew. We allways have fun with the checkpoint workers because we need to get to the checkpoints well beofre the first car!

[road racer]

dude that sounds like fun let me know what time i need to be there and ill make it.

[treekiller]

1:00 pm for worker signup.

[DaxDaxDax]

wish i had my old scoobaru back :(
i would definaly go

[jlude90]

take the s13

[bam2002]

This weekend.. cant wait.. taking a big car.. since it can handle non paved roads..

How many cars will there be?

[treekiller]

Right around 30 confirmed, and some walkups expected. I hope to have a full 40 car turnout if possable.

[jlude90]

this is encouraging :D
