Yucatan Safari Winter Road Rally (TSD RALLY RALLY RALLY!!!)

The wha?
The Yucatan Winter Safari is an SCCA sanctioned TSD road rally run through the hardwood forests of SE Minnesota, beginning and ending at the Plaza Hotel in Winona, MN. I have a thread with general information up on MNSubaru.com. I can duplicate it here if you folks want but I figure it's just as easy to shoot you over there:

The rally master (Clarence Westberg) has offered to conduct an introductory driver's session prior to registration if there is enough interest.

These are fun as hell and I strongly encourage you to come check out either this or another local winter TSD rally.

Here is a video of leg 10 from last year's Yucatan to give you an idea of the types of roads and pace you can expect:

And the "lolsurprise!" short leg 7, filmed with a potato:

Please post up here if you're interested in running and would like to coordinate a driver/codriver. I'm more than happy to try to help people connect!

 

**AVAILABLE HIGHLY EXPERIENCED CO-DRIVER BUMP**

I heard Tim Winker is looking for a seat as a co-driver. He is very experienced, having served as rally master for several events. You're not going to find a much more technically proficient and seasoned co-driver. If you're a little uneasy about the route navigation/timing/organization involved, he will way more than cover you.

Send him a message on Facebook if you're interested:

That is so awesome. I want to do his job

 

That's not his job, it's just what he does. You can totally do that right now. I heard there might be a thread around here that could get you started...

 

I would love to do more with Rally for sure. I know Erik does too. So we might have to look more at it next year

 

Coming up this weekend bump!

There are still spots open and I believe there are a couple people looking to fill either seat. If you want to try it but don't have a partner, don't let that stop you!
