Hey All
Anyone who knows me on here or has talked to me for more than two minutes, knows I'm getting more and more bitten by the rally bug every day!!
I've been lamenting the fact that I don't have the cash to get a proper rally car (or even an excel series car!!
) together. I have found a short term solution!! The Bay Stages Rally (Batemans Bay) this year has running alongside it the "Bay Starters Rally". It is a chance for first timers to have a go at rallying in essentially a standard car. You only do 4 stages and about 80 km competitive, and are completely separated from the rest of the field - ie you do stages 3 and 4 before the main rally starts, then 1 and 2 after the field has already gone through.
Since I'm trying to get into the excel series (eventually
), and I have an excel for my road car now, I'm going to have a crack at in my excel. I'm actually really bloody excited about this. One of the things the organisers are doing to try and get some new blood into the sport is to offer an afternoon's free driver training on the Oran Park Rally Circuit with sideways action rally school! I reckon it's a pretty good opportunity, and too good to pass up.
Anyone interested in having a go, or coming along to have a look??
I killed a set of Bilstein shocks in my commodore at Batemans Bay. Good luck Bob, big risk if you ask me using your road car.
