i'm sure its the correct thread
i too have thought about where to go to be in a central location and still afford to rally it seems like a legit question to me it would be nice to see more events around the country, not as bad as the local drag strips or circle tracks but more events. say on a month on the each side of the country either a stage rally or a brisk tsd or targa. but then again it would be nice to brake even if you win championship too. not that a like to rally for the money, its more about the people and the good time so, it seems like a legit question to me I would rather drive a slow car fast as a fast car slow! first rule of cars: get what makes you happy, your the one paying for it! |

Naw pretty sure he meant to post in the "I'm outta here" thread.
Sure it is, the guy is young and not tied down, he's not a total pussy living at with Mommy and daddy just to get grub and laundry done or dares not move more than a few blocks from where he was born and he sees the Unexplored Southern Area* via a media which is 100% sensationalist and commercial. Now a lotta folks here have moved and a fair amount have moved to different countries...so it seems trying to "flesh out" the possible choices is part of it.. Rally is just part of life, there's other things and for a young guy that might be things like "are there friendly wimminz that may want to schtup him selnseless....or do they have their knees pressed hard together cause they fear Gawd's Wrath Only he can say if living someplace where 45-60% of the people "know" the world would be worth it...
Yeah it would be good but we can learn by watching long term trends, and the trend has been steady downwards in absolute numbers and way down in numbers "corrected for (population) inflation"...
Oh it is, such a shame one can't talk about anything here without people getting offended. *As Canada's old Cultural Ambassadors point out there's the Great White North but a featureless empty expanse of terra incognito below the 49th Parallel ** ** which brings us to that...The 49th Parallel was a great film made in the WWII, released in Oct 1941 by the British writer-director team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. It is a great film and stirring and well made for a war-time propaganda film. As wiki says about it's reception
Great movie, full movie is on Youse-tubez And that is something I tried to give him some idea of with the maps--Diversity does not have to mean divisiveness.

good point, now i understand. every one still out there have a good holiday, if it applies two very good films in their own right I would rather drive a slow car fast as a fast car slow! first rule of cars: get what makes you happy, your the one paying for it! |

Someone said Chicago, which isn't a terrible choice, but for the cost of living and (possibly) driving the Dan Ryan.
I'd say St. Louis with it's major transportation hub status means lots of trucks needing attention. On the rally side, 100AW & Perryville are very close. Sno*Drift, Magnum Opus, LSPR, Ojibwe Forests are about a days drive away. Not certain how far Rally WV is, but probably could be reached in one long day. STPR, same deal. Lots of choices, so good luck. It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism, while the wolf remains of a different opinion.
