[http://www.flr-scca.com/rally/2010/WinterSeries1\_LongWayHome\_Flyer.pdf](http://www.flr-scca.com/rally/2010/WinterSeries1_LongWayHome_Flyer.pdf) Wondering if any one was going, I was think about signing up. I have done a few road rally’s before. I would be rocking the Daily TDI with winterforce snows. anyone else going? ---

> [@93dx--hatch](#): > > is this one of those where you have to get to the checkpoint with in a certain time not to slow or to fast correct. But being that it should be in the snow, on gravel/ seasonal roads you will often find yourself pushing it a bit. (that’s the fun of a winter rally, summer rally’s are normally a more “safe” rally) ---

I’m doing it in a 90hp FWD TDI jetta lol, just find a navigator. or a driver. and come have some fun (and remember pick some one you trust. and then **listen** to your navigator!) if you have any questions about it either post here, PM me or MXS, or email the rally master. it pretty straight forward and ALOT of fun 🙂 ---

Yeah, it’s not about being fast, it’s about being right! But that’s not to say that the driving isn’t a challenge. Especially with the weather conditions we’ll have. They don’t make you bring a tow rope for nothing. :ohyeah: ---

[http://www.flr-scca.com/rally/index.html#RoadRally](http://www.flr-scca.com/rally/index.html#RoadRally) Ok, so reading that, the top part seems to be what this event is… well, that TBH sounds boring lol. i wanna race, not pace myself… is the ‘course’ challenging to where its still a little bit of a challenge to keep on time or what. I mean i still might do one before the end of the season, but i might not try to hard to get they day off to do it if, imo, its not gonna be that much fun… ---

I guarantee you will have a blast, the pace you need to keep especially in the snow will keep you on your toes. and if your navigator sucks or messes up AT ALL you need to make up ground you will find a NEW pace. it really is a ton of fun, its not dunnville, but for winter activities its my fav.
