Wednesday’s Rally Eye Candy 2/8/12
This video is from stage rally, Rallye Perce-Neige. While we try to focus on RallyCross and Road Rally, I wanted to post this video by “Sw3bMedia“, not because it shows a crash, but because it is a demonstration of the rally spirit to keep pressing on. Crazy Leo had previously been hit with 6 minutes in penalties, and then had this unfortunately impact with a power pole which put him down to 37th overall. Crazy Leo kept pressing on, pushing as if he were running for the lead … and in fact he was. He finished 2nd overall!

The New England Region SCCA has been very active in RallyCross so far this season. Ryan Symancek put together the following teaser video.

I was hoping to head up to Merritt, BC to run the Thunderbird Rally this coming weekend, but a broken arm in the family (not mine) has forced me to back out. I will be with you in spirit. I found this picture on Special Stage from a post by Paul Westwick, for last year’s Thunderbird Rally.
I am looking forward to seeing pictures like this, but with rally cars, from this year’s event.
Editor’s Note: We would love if you would like to share some of your pictures, videos or a write-up of the event here on Dirty Cones and Checkpoints. We don’t mind if it is a cross-post or if you want to share an excerpt with a link to your website. TSD Rallies definitely need more publicity!

Clarence Westberg posted a message in the SCCA Road Rally Yahoo! Group with a link to the following video, “1961 Calgary Loop Rally” uploaded by CanadaMotorSports. Historic rally footage may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I love seeing how they ran the rallies back then and the cars are fantastic.
