For those of you wanting to try a Winter TSD but drives to Winona or Duluth are too distant there are two rallies in February that are perfect for first timers. In fact both generally have an instruction/practice session about an hour before registration. Minnesota Valley Winter Rally February 1st which starts in Jordan. https://www.facebook.com/events/342047089268462/ And the Iced Rum Runner February 15th which is in the Princeton area. https://www.facebook.com/events/1439207039641176/?ref=br_tf Info is still thin, but pencil them in on your calendar. The events are a good time and there certainly isn't much else going on that's car related in early February.
Not at all. Any road-worthy car can be plenty competitive. Details about TSD rallies can be found in the stickied FAQ in my sig. I'll probably be competing or working at one or both of these.
