sar4x4 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I'll bet the Mud Option of the Renfrew Rally would be really really good right now............. Actually any of the Rally route, especially the stone steps where Robert lost this ball joint! I'm not able to attend. Tomorrow I'll be wheelin' or snowhoeing where I'll be depending if the road is plowed or not! But I'll have my AWD car or an F250 with bald tires.... Maybe next time I'll try to ride shotgun with someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertMcC Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Tom I do got in my truck, the rally dirrections that Eugene hosted. That could help you navigate. You could do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Yeah I will grab those from you and take a look, shouldn't be too bad using those directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72LandRover88 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I'd like to check out this Renfrew place.. Sunday would be much better for me or heading out early on saturday. thinking more like 9am sharp. Again, Sunday could also be good. That way we could also get a chance to see the Delica in action!

RobertMcC Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Dirrections take off from the big stop as well. Trucks in the city, putting some km on it. Rock wall might be hard for the delica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 In order to follow the directions you will need either a GPS or a proper reading odometer in your truck if you are following the rally directions/map. Tom, you have my cell number if you guys need to call for assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Sounds good James, and I have confirmed odometer before, and know how to adjust for tires. As well can use my phone for GPS tracking. I may be calling you though lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Calculating on your odometer for the distance won't work, you'll be there all day trying to figure it out. If you use your phone for tracking, you have to know your distance travelled. The course directions are pretty damn accurate, and if not followed correctly can get you lost easily. Odometer reading will be ****** up easily enough though from spinning in the snow and on the ice. So watch your distances on the GPS carefully.

RobertMcC Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 The woods section with the sharp 45* back turn, watch out there was a huge rock on the right, so don't cut too sharp. The rock wall, stick right ( steps to place wheels ) don't go left ( I know ) you'll just hit a rock wall pretty much. The pretty good mud hole up there ( hence my name winch bait ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Sounds good James, will be using the phone GPS then. Rock wall will be interesting and we should be good for recovery equipment now as well. Looking forward to the run and hopefully more people come out.

TRUXterra Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I don't think you'll see the rocks at all, just a flat blanket of snow covering everything making that "Old Renfew" section extremely challanging even for a modded rig at this time of year. With that clear cut on the edge of that trail, the snow has likely blown in covering any rocks that you would normally avoid. This is why winter wheeling adds a point or 2 of diffucility to any trails...and it's much more fun! If I only had better tires :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomWood Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 We will be careful, and honestly if things start getting too rough we will be turning around and heading back lol. I don't think anyone wants to damage their rig badly. With the rain we should be able to see the obstacles as it should get rid of the snow.

ram5.9 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I have a handheld GPS which I have used to navigate several E2C races (the one's SAR4x4 was involved with). I will throw it in the truck. See you Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRUXterra Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Make sure that at least one person has a winch. Traction being a huge issue, tow/recovery straps are going to be less effective! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
