TSD in Russa anyone?

Here is a note from Jerry Hines the Rally Master of the Alcan. Look at the photos of the road.

Holy shit. And it looks like they just drive whatever street car they have on it.

Then again, I can imagine seeing a caged Evo just sort of skipping across the surface as it goes by at 100mph or so. :p

Untill you found a sizable dip/rut which by the looks of it wouldn't be too long.

That's just going to be the last part of the trip for Brian and Erika. But that section has been on their route from day 1.

They haven't updated it in about two months as they've been busy preparing to sell their house, selling all their belongings, preparing the vehicle and continuously planning. They have a videographer coming along and will be documenting, editing, and uploading to the site throughout the entire journey. I plan to join up with them for a few weeks in Europe. I've been tempted more than once to quit school and go with them. Had they decided to do this two months earlier I would be going.

No way. I'd get the optional ski system. That, or a system of tracks.

I think the normal operating procedure is to put a big ass buldozer at the front and then chain it to the car, then the 1st car gets chained to the 2nd car and so forth till you have 10 cars pulled by the dozer...

When I see that road I think, good thing I have a pilot's licence. I expect the road looks good from 3000 feet AGL but then again I have not seen images of the local runways!

Still that type of road would make a TSD fun. Real work to get though not just driving down I-5.

check out that guy on page 7, standing in the mud with no trousers haha.

Leave the rally car at home for that. Need a truck.
