My take on this video: multiple corners where 6-10 cars were destroyed. And I'm guessing that the result afterward was not "oh, we need to change the sport!" (recce, notes, zero car duties, video recce, jemba, jemba review by top competitors, new cages, fuel cells for fuel cells, or other options)

Although I could be wrong, any Finnish speakers check the forums there to see if such things are being discussed as a result?

Grassroots rally. It's what I think about.

5:25...lmao...

We had snow on one DooWop back in the Capial Forest days. My Pport rotary had no intake or carb heat. It iced up so bad I couldn't hardly spin the tires in snow. Bah humbug...speaking of bugs, how about that beatle? Should be real easy to roll back over in the snow.

I don't know Gene, the chances of going over on that lake are pretty low. Worst case you flop over a snow berm and bonk your head on the door frame.

I'm all for safety but I'd take the odds on that frozen lake.

yeah. they said bring the impreza to Winter Rally NY. free lodging at my cabin that is 1/2 hour away from the rally.

"but i dont have snow tires" ----> plenty of time to get those in and installed
"i have a new baby" -----> cant read stage notes, who cares
"my co driver is taking care of the baby" ------> find another co driver
"where is New York again?" -----> head north Anders, turn right at Scranton and Left in Middletown
"my awesome H6 2 door coupee is just too awesome and will out awesome the other cars there so there is no need to waste my time to bring it up" -----> snow ball fight

ohh and quick edit, we will come to SandBlast if you come to Winter Rally NY.
