Tree Killer - McRae/Burns Memorial Rally

4" Ground Clearance MINIMUM: (everyone did okay at treekiller but this event will be brisker and a bit more difficult) there are spots where if it's raining they turn into 3" deep water crossings so plan accordingly. I drove them last night in the rain and made it through and by november the rainy season will be over, but who knows.

All Season, Snow, or rally tires reccomended:
These roads are a bit more agressive and more Dirt/MUD/CLAY then sand. so please plan accordingly, the clay/mud gets very sliperery when wet and while you will make it through on summer tires you'll have more fun with some tread. (This means you mike)





David Richards - WRC supremo / Prodrive boss (as told to Reuters):
"You don't become a world champion without being a great, great driver. He will stand out amongst them as one of the icons of the sport. It's easy to think of him just as an English star but remember that he won events all around the world and he had an extraordinary following. He was the first English world champion and he did it in great style as well, he was very professional in the way he went about it. He and Colin [McRae] were great pals but nonetheless two completely opposite ends of the spectrum with Colin's flamboyance and Richard's sheer determination and professionalism. He - Burns - had a very methodical, determined style."

couple of photos from the first one
 
reminder, 2 weeks or so to go. I did a ride along to see the course. Im jealous and wanna build a car to do this. not a lot of cars signed up, so more people sign up.
 
I have a beat up explorer at my other house, LOL, I might have just found a excuse to drive it!!!
 
What kinda car were you using when you went through it MARS?? You think my 92' Ford Explorer 4.0 liter v6 can make through?
 
a fairly new Sentra SE-R on some bald ass performance street tires. I was riding along to get aideas where to stop and take photos. There was one scary part if you were in a lowered car, its kinda crazy, but there was some fairly fucking awesome forestry service roads we went down at a highspeed, like 55-60 and he was kicking the back end around a bit, hiting some dips. I wish I had a car to drive

FYI if you are serious, there is a Enterprise Rent -A-Car only a few miles from the start pointing, so think about that.
 
I was reading you can skip the extreme part but it i wll cost you. This isnt a balls out run. There is a calculated average speed and a time you are supposed to do each part of the rally. if you get stuck behind a slow person or traffic holds you up, yea, you are going to have to make up time to keep on the average. Or if you get lost etc....
 
Nice!!! That rent-a-car thing might come in handy, thinkin about doing the rally and signin the title over to whoever wants it right there!! rent a car and drive back home FTW!!
