(I guess I can't fix my miss-spelling on the title...)
5 daring drivers and 3 even more daring navigators suffered through the inaugural Redwood Rendezvous Road Rally Adventure Drive this weekend.
There was much death and destruction.
At least 3 poor squirrels lost their lives, as this crowd was not swerving like the station wagon in the insurance commercial where the rodents are high-fiving each other
33% of the vehicles involved in this weekends event suffered collision damage
The rallymaster (me) had a head on with a Honda Accord on a narrow twisty dirt remote backroad, well, not really a full head-on, rather more like we met around a blind corner and skidded into each other, fortunately we were both going very slowly and the damage was only cosmetic in that incident.
Not so lucky was iBlueVirus, who just about a quarter mile from the campground at the end of the day had the front end of his car savagely attacked by a crazed deer.
Neither Leo's 2.5RS or the deer were able to continue.
It was a long and greuling Saturday, everybody was nice to me and said they had fun, but a couple of the guys bailed this morning and missed out on our tour of the lost coast.
we will do it again next year, only at a little bit easier pace.

lol does this mean its more expensive than autocross now?
was that the most damage in its history or has there been more in the previous ones?

I think this first one was the worst, in fact I can't remember any other real "incidents" in the history of this event, but I would also point out that the Redwood Rendezvous is not your typical TSD rally, it's an adventure

right right i just realized that, yeah i was referring to the TSD type.
I wanted to do this Redwood one but didnt have any spare wheels
any offroad adventures coming up? since Vallejo RallyX got cancelled, i will have the itch in a week or two and will find some dirt roads either way
