Snowman Rally

[scooby222]

anyone heading north for this? only 2 weeks to go,woo!

also anyone any idea of what stages are being run this year?

[thefastone]

Possibly, and no...

Although, i THINK that if I do go, unless its a last minute thing, then I may in fact be marshaling a stage... as it seems that they have asked ADMC to borrow some marshalls... I said I might...

[scooby222]

if you are up for it may i suggest a few beers afterwards? i do a very reasonable b&b package

no one else tempted by it? looks like some snowy stages again this year

First local rally I've missed in years...

Got 5 vehicles in the drive and only 1+1/2 of them are working.. It's a long assed winter

Have yet to get the picts off my camera, but as I took my cheapo snowboarding camera with me I imagine I'll just have a collection of blurry objects. I was somewhat disappointed this year, it looked like most of the cars were running mud tyres - in the sections we watched my snow tyre shod wagon would have put in a more than respectable display.

[the_ex_leper]

my mate was competing and said it was horrible no grip what so ever he felt like stopping it just wasnt fun

he tried every tyre he could but still couldnt get grip most of the stages were solid ice or hard packed snow over ice

he made it back in one piece but doesnt know how

[scooby222]

what car was your mate in? will have some pics probably when i get them onto photobucket

conditions were pretty horrid,stage 1 had been cleared by a plough or grader and just left polished surface with no grip,could hear all the cars short shifting round the sweeper i was at and still drifting wide

[scooby222]

chunky monkey??

this the one Al?

[fai17]

Thats Alan car...finished 24th

[gambler]

Did anyone get pics of Jock Armstrong car no.2 he was overall winner. Or Peter Stewart who was running a blue fiesta ST with orange stripes. Car no. 86?

I was up with Jock and driving chase car for Peter. Unfortunately did not get to see much of the action but what i did see was very very slippy. Jock and peter were both running snow tyres and still found it very very slippy.
