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.

Interest? Ideas? Questions?

I have a long list of questions and such I plan to ask as well as paying attention to their message boards and the sites of some of the teams.

Things I already know:

* Max speed allowed in stage is 124mph, transit zones must be taken at locally posted speed limits or there will be time penalties
* There is also a spec fuel supplier, must run pump gas from the approved supplier(sponsor) and the only fuel additive allowed is also from a sponsor
* Vehicles must be street legal, registered and insured.

It is looking like I will be able to attend nearly the whole week, just gonna have to miss the last day or two.

Another thing I have already noticed from the pics and notes, bring a rain coat. In the fall it rains some amount almost every day.

Yeah, I've read through the rules and got most of it down... I think ;-)

What type of tires are the fast guys running?
What is the total distance traveled for the entire event? What is the breakdown between Special Stage and Transit?
What type of fuel is available and at what cost?
Is the fuel measured the same? (USA = RON + MON / 2 )


I've rallied a good bit before and understand street legal and keeping it cool on Transit stages and all :-)

Huge thanks...I'm way jealous you can go watch...I'm sure you'll have an awesome time.

The ONLY way for Carl Merrill's (rest his soul) Escort Cossie RS to be 'street legal' would have been if he had put a base, stock, U.S. spec Escort's VIN plate on it!! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotflmao.gif)

Thank God for L.E.O.s who look the other way at all of the U.S. performance/PRO stage rallies!!
