I've been talking to a few other Subaru people about this rally. It is organized by the same people that did the Central Crown rally to Chicago this past summer. It is a charity run, from Minneapolis and ending in Lutsen. http://rmhtwincities.org/ My brother and I are entering, and it would be cool if others did as well. We are toying with the idea of getting a large townhouse in Lutsen if we can get enough people to go. If that's the case I will be taking deposits on it to ensure your spot. All the info is here- http://www.thepolarrun.org/ https://www.facebook.com/polarrun
Tony, A race? Need a rally car? Looks like great fun, but website is really lacking in details. What else can you share about this? thanks -Rick
Im actually going to do this in my truck. Comfy, AWD and comfy From what I've read, its a point based contest. you earn points along the way by completing challenges at various check points. I have not heard how long it is going to take place, BUT I know it starts Friday morning and we end up in Lutsen the same day. There will be an award reception upon arrival in Lutsen. It's not a race. The organizers have said several times that traffic laws are to be obeyed at all times. That's really all I know at this point. Looks like a good charity, and a fun thing to do.
I was on the Central Crown rally, never had so much fun at a car related event. I am planning on going, more so for the snowboarding. Trying to find 3 others to cram in the Forester for the trip that want to go snowboarding.
Its in super early stages but it will be a navigation/checkpoint type of drive with challenges along the way, not an all out sprint. I know they have done several runs already and might do another one to look for the best roads..so this wont just be sitting in traffic on the freeway up north. I think the plan is to meet early Jan 30th at the charity and hand out food/soup then do the drive. followed by 2 nights at Lutsen then prob cruise back down together Lodging is $120 a night for a room (2 beds sleeps 4) or renting a condo (14 people splitting it) Group buy for lift tickets to come
Got our hotel room yesterday. Might want to book as this is a busy weekend for the resort as a whole. Anyone get their vinyl yet?
LOL...FaceBook....who does that? remember kids, I'm old, and don't do the "facehole" thing! but I did get me info the old fashioned way....telephono!
Going to pick up my vinyl today. About a month out, looking forward to this! @sinks88 did you want to text the organizer and have me pick up your vinyl today? Shoot me a text if you want me to. 612-414-6329 I can hand it off anytime if you'd like.

Nice! So looking forward to this event. Probably going to run my CB. Anyone else doing that? Not sure if it'll help much, but might not hurt. Went out with the organizer and some other polar runners last saturday. Was a blast, really fun group.
