Why are they taking Porsche's into 4 wheel drive territory?
Tuesday, October 25, 2011
the "In The Garage" blog is heavy on rally info, and posted a news flash on the Upper Michigan rally
I grew up among the roads they used to race on, all dirt roads, and I never did get to go check out the racing. Someday.

6th annual Mid Coast Road Rally (in Iowa) gets underway Oct 1st, about 140 teams will be getting a start from the Albaugh collection and
Prizes and trophies are given for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Also, a trophy is given for the team with the most Rally spirit—the Fun-Fun-Fun Award. And the Pink Panther trophy goes to the team with the best costume and theme.
It's too late to join now, but if you are around Des Moines, you can check on the site for their route, and put up prank direction signs, or some other funny stuff.
Next year join them, and get a tour of the Albaugh collection before the race.

Thanks to Bob C for inviting me to join, but I'm broke, and long way from Iowa

Rally Fighter, on track to success

Damn, a Veyron running the Gumball, that's going to go through a lot of gas
From http://autozine.com.br/eventos/gumball-3000-2010-onde-os-ricos-batem-pegaWhen running full speed, the fuel lasts about 12 minutes, thats about 60 miles at about 250 mph, and few freeways are going to give that type of high speed opportunity, but this is a gas guzzling beast even if you half the speed (125mph) and double the distance and time before you have to fill up again.

luck or talent? this way of cornering looks like it was engineered and perfected, but impossible to replicate
I don't remember where I found this, but it's made me watch it repeatedly
