Wow Kevin. That speedster is beautiful. I would love to have that to drive the back roads of Connecticut.

Hi John

Brilliant, thanks for the information, I need to get out and watch.
Not sure I’d be brave enough to take part, it looks great fun.


Regards


Kevin

Thanks for posting. I watched the first video...then had to watch a whole bunch more. That's an hour I "don't" regret. Jeff

That's the way these car should be used. Here's a similar rally from New Zealand - this year's.

Wow, if you enjoyed the thread, actually taking part in one of these rallies must be more than you can stand!

The only tricky bit with an A in mud is the stiff steering. You can see drivers struggling with it in the video. Makes being nimble a bit tricky.

A guy at the Auto Zone says his Dad has a Dellow, a car made for this sport. I need to work harder to get a look at it.

Dellows are still very popular as trials cars over here and continue to perform well.
