Watching "Love the Beast" on Speed channel got me thinking about it again, usually the idea doesn't pop into my head until mid summer when it is way too late to prepare or participate.
Anyone interested in trying to make a run at it? I have experience behind the wheel and navigating in TSD rally's, so I feel comfortable in either seat. Targa Newfoundland website: http://www.targanewfoundland.com/ Interest? Ideas? Questions? -Tim |

I have to wait until after I get home from France (going to 24 Hours of LeMans!!! Wahoo!!!) before I can plan in too much detail. But I have every intention of heading up to see the Targa this year. -Tim |

Mkay, for whoever gets to go and spectate and mingle with the teams, these are things I'd like to have an answer to
1. Stage lengths and condition of roads expressed in ride height requirements 2. Stage lengths and speeds to get an idea of the kind of fuel mileage (or distance needed to cover) between fuel stops 3. Support vehicles....open? We were specifically told at the CRNC one year our chase vehicle COULD NOT take our trailer and we had to leave it and then LATER found that a lot of folks ignored this and brought their trailer. Guess where the parts were that we needed? 4. What are most folks using for support vehicles? Pickups? RVs? Are they hauling trailers with them? 5. Are they staying in hotels every night? Sleeping in their tow vehicle if it is an RV? I'll have more long before the event... Costas cars and such... |
