Debut Road Rally

I just competed in my first road rally last night. Open road gravel/tarmac with 6 stages. I finished 4th in the beginner class out of 8 cars. We were in postion to do much better until we got lost on the final stage It was great, lots of hills. twists and turns, Ebrake turns on gravel. Almost lost it once.

Is there a website with the results posted?

tsd is time, speed, distance. basically is trave from pt A to pt B at the specified time. it's a really fun event. you don't get to go as fast you could, but you do get to travel at a 'nice' speed. It was nice, but I had to travel 10 hours one-way to attend the rally. but it was worth the drive.

It was a TSD rally. Here is the website of the club that held the rally,
http://torontoautosportclub.ca/ but no results have been posted yet. It was held in King township north of Toronto. It was just a regional mini rally. Although I think a WRX that runs in the Ontario Championships was there, he won the expert class with an almost perfect time. I don't have any pictures because we were running at night. Next time we're going to take my friend's 91 Escort GT. We'll probably alternate. I washed my car the next day right after the rally and touched up a couple of stone chips.
