Has anyone ever been to this rally?  I've never seen a rally event before in person.  I think I might try to attend.

Am I the only one on this forum who posts questions and receives NO responses?  Jeesh.

I feel so alone.

Yes, you are - there - feel better now?? Just kidding you actually. And no, you're not, I have made several posts where it just sat there and nothing. I guess nobody wanted to talk about what I wanted to talk about - oh, well......

I'd have posted Mr. T but I havn't been to that event.  I would attend if I was in that area, though, if that helps.

No I haven't.  Now ask a better question and stop throwing your post-space away.  Sheesh.

Seriously I would love to get there some day... it just always seems to fall on an inconvenient weekend for me.

If you enjoy taking action pictures then by all means go watch a rally and find a nice corner where you can be high enough up to catch them drifting.

It's even more fun to be driving in a rally, but watching it is also a lot more rewarding than any most other racing because of the action in front of you.

Fall colours also add to the enjoyment. And yes I have been there.

I've never been but plan to go this year.  Apparently, its not far from my Dad's cottage and the locals rave about it.  Mr. T maybe I'll see you there!

BTW there is no way in hell you could get from Toronto to Bancroft in 2 hours as advertised unless you drove like a rally racer the whole way! (I think it is something like 260km from the big smoke)

The Rally of the Tall Pines is based out of Bancroft, ON.  It takes place on November 19 and 20.  

And, what Railton said.
