sar4x4 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 The organizers of the summer Ledwidge Lookoff rally have asked if we can provide three vehicles for their fall event, Car 0, 99 and one Sweep. It is a single road event. If that goes well, I suspect we will be asked for similar course vehicles for their spring event............... Here is another chance to participate and/or work a different position! (I'm not necessarily going and if I do I'm not looking to be Car 0!) Post up and Tom and I will get back to them!

TomWood Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I cant make it now due to tie-rod issues. Will have to get someone else. Also Bump to the top, we need at least 2 volunteers to do this. One with a winch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted September 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Thanks for the heads up and thread bump Tom. You should have your tie-rod fixed by then right? Like my Scout water pump and Suburban windows?I'm going to try to make it to Trout Lake, but I do not know what I will be driving! I'd like to think Suburban for Sweep. Or my Rogue for 99. TIDBIT: The organizers mentioned it is a very very interesting road. Something like 10 km long and nothing but turns, like one every 100 m. It makes you pay attention they said!

TomWood Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I wish I could have the tierod done, have to spend money on the VW first. Struts won out over tie rod lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekmac Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Did you check Prime Choice? I think all four tie rods for mine are around $50 total. They sell them individually too. http://www.primechoiceautoparts.ca/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 215 from dealer, rock auto is 80 plus shipping, 140 from 4wheel parts, just not in the budget in time. Will check prime though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted September 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Was talking with Daphne Sleigh last night. Owner and co-driver of the white VW 2WD class. She says Trout Lake is fun and there are 7 cars registered at the moment! But we all know what attrition can do, but still it sounds like a good field!At that means off-the-road action.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Passed the #1 grey Subaru car last night on the highway when we were headed out to soccer in Lantz. If I was in the TJ or had a sticker on the back of the Overland, I would have given him a wave... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 I may be able to make it now. Will update as things go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brunet-Hemi Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 looking like ill be home for this and would love to do it seeing as i had to miss the last rally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted September 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 I believe the spring and fall rallys are just as good as the big summer one, but a bit shorter. So it could be fun! Spring 2014 they had a car off the road...... If I take the Suburban I'm going to trailer it down with my bro's truck and our big trailer. We'll decide as we get closer to the event and who can make and what they're driving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomWood Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Next weekend will be fun! We have four possible rigs but only require three. Good times will be had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brunet-Hemi Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 So what's the plan as far as meet up time/place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 We need to be there for 730 I believe to ensure we can get organized before the 8am start time. Here are directions: I can meet up with you guys at exit four (will be waiting on the side of the highway) and we can convoy down from there. I'm checking maps now to find travel time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Trout lake road is an hour and twenty two minutes from exit four. So we need to meet up at exit four for 6am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Whoa! I'll post the schedule here momentarily. I don't think 6 am is necessary! lol And I'll check with the organizer.Trout Lake Road is exactly 2 hours from my place in Dartmouth by Google.

sar4x4 Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 I've asked Cindy, the organizer, if 11 am is good and if we can even still drive the route at that time. It's much shorter than the summer rally.Info:http://www.bluenoseautosport.ca/2015TroutLakeRallySprintSuppRegs.pdfDescription of Event: The Trout Lake Rally sprint will take place on a single road. There will be two stages, of 3.9km. Main time control is located in a gravel pit at the end of the stage road. There is a 2km transit to the start of the stages. There will be a total of 2 passes of each stage in each direction (a total of 8 stages) with total mileage 31.2km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
