I think it was a rally past our farm back in the late 70's. I remember it being run by the Ford Four club from Melbourne. I was only 7 or 8 so don't remember much about it.

I don't remember what rally it was as I was only 3 or 4 but went to a stage in Haldon Forest near Exeter. Pat Doran was in a Sierra and rolled where we were watching.
You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

I think it was Hankiralli in 1978, Pentti Airikkala did win that time, it was a very good rally back then, called nowdays as the grand mom of all winter rallies. First WRC event was 1000 Lakes 1981.

Rally of the Tall Pines, the last event on the Canadian Championship, Nov. 94. That particular one was a tight one if I remember between the Sprongl brothers Audi and John Buffum and his Audi. Then in the end, some guy from Quebec won. Then again, I may be mixing memories from a few Rally's there.....

I've only seen film clips but one thing boggles my mind. What kind of a fool would sit on the outside of a turn at a rally event. When those guys don't make the turn, you don't have alot of time to move elsewhere.
If legislation makes you equal, you aren't.
