The 2008 edition of the Loop Rally returns to some territory that hasn’t been used for a TSD event in a few years.

Loop is the fifth event in the Rally West TSD Championship, and although first place seems to be decided, the leaders could still be knocked off their perch by any of the next three crews who are in quite a battle amongst each other.

The format of the rally will be familiar to those who have participated in previous Loops – a brisk (but not wild) dusk to dawn drive through some of the more interesting roads in the Southern Alberta foothills. As always the navigation will be straightforward tulips with no tricks. To save paper (sorry Norm) there is some use of the route priority as described in the supp regs (and in the Regional Rule Book.)

There are no special entry requirements except for a roadworthy car that will last for 600+ Km of country roads, and a two person crew who can last all night without fighting too much. (Josh had a unique solution to that requirement last year, but let’s keep it unique….)

Winter tires make it much easier to drive on gravel, especially if it’s wet, and some auxiliary lights are good, but not essential.

We’re looking forward to seeing anyone who’s up for the challenge at the start on September 20th.
