Sno Drift Rally, who is going?

I am making the journey north next week with my usual cast of characters. Anyone else going?

Probably. We normally meet at Tally's bar during the Friday lunch service break.

Went up there once, years ago. Still trying to thaw out. Post some pics for me will ya?

I've still be in Florida (not that I'm complaining) have fun and get some great photos, I hear that the 0 car is a spectator one

Is it going to be proper cold?

I will be there, be sure to look out for the frankenburban!

I will be resuming my duties as Chief of Equipment. Every time you use a portajohn, think of me.

Doubt it. I think it was 03/04 where the high during the day was single digits with wind chill and night making it seriously cold.

Hold on, just checked the long range. It's saying a high of 14 for next Friday and a high of 9 on Sat with lows down to -1. It may be seriously cold after all.

In reply to logdog:

So, if the portajohn is out of paper, I need to call you?

In reply to pilotbraden:

use snow

In reply to captdownshift:

Only if the resulting snowball is thrown at a car

Yeah, the weather forecast is chili as normal. Not much snow as of now.

If you see some version of this in a spectator car window it's me.

Is that Tim's car in the photo?

Technically yes. But I will have to call the Septic company to get more. In the meantime I recommend using your sock.

Yes from a few years ago he was using it as the '0' or sweep car, I don't recall.

After that he and Kurt used the Rally Wabbit, which was a disaster as a) it was super icy with an open diff and 2WD and b) Rally America changed from having 2 Medi sweeo cars doing alternate stages to one doing all stages which became a logistical nightmare. I haven't seen Tim for a few years now, he's organizing Magnum Opus which I hope to get to some time.

The Rally 'Wabbit'

I realize this is all in jest, but a serious tip for all newcomers. Carry a zip lock baggie with half a dozen wet wipes in it all the time. You will find they are really useful, for more than just the crapper.

Where is it?

Atlanta, Lewiston, Vienna area of Michigan.

I think Paul's SC/RS clone is going to be either "0" or sweep this year. He repaired the gear box the other week.

Paul, if you're out there I NEED a ride in your car

No need

Too far for me, so I'll settle for crewing at the Waste Management Winter Rally next month instead. A lot closer to home.

Leaving at 6 o'clock am tomorrow. Scouting good viewing spots tomorrow on Eberly Rd as stages 1 and 5 pass 8 miles north of my cabin.
