ancullen Posted March 23, 2005 Report Posted March 23, 2005 I've just added a new calendar event. Here's the details repeated below. THIS IS GOING TO BE HUGE!!! This will be the 50th Anniversary of the first Rejex Rally. Back in 1955, Darwin discovered that the Redex Rally would not be going visiting the Top End that year, so the Rejex Rally was created. I believe it was only run once or twice, but then in 1995, for the 40th Anniversary, it was started again and has been running ever since. Last year there were approximately 50 competitors in a wide variety of cars including such vehicles as: 1928 Dodge Tourer MGB Old Mini R33 Nissan Skyline GTR HSV Clubsport Ford XR6 Turbo Toyota Starlet Absolutely any vehicles are welcome to enter, as you can probably tell from the list above. I personally have entered the rally 4-times (2005 will be my fifth entry), and I am living proof that anyone has a chance to do well. Here's why: in my first rally, on my P-plates with very little driving experience, I came 4th outright, 3rd in class, and won the encouragement award (which was created for my because I'd done so well but just missed out on Rookie of the Year). This was done in a 1984 Honda Accord, so absolutely ANYONE has a chance. Last year in my girlfriend's completely standard 1998 Toyota Starlet we came second to a VTII HSV Clubsport, beating a R33 Nissan Skyline GTR in the process. Even if you don't live in the NT this is an event worth trecking North for. It would be EXCELLENT to see some RollaClub members competing. It only costs $110 per person to enter (this is what it has been for the last 4 years, it may change, but not much), and out of this you get all meals paid for, and you get a shirt to show off to everyone. The general practice is to have a driver and navigator (minimum). If you have others in the car (excluding children), they must also pay the entry fee. If you can't afford to come on your own, I'd recommend getting a group together and coming as one entry. Email me for details of the route and/or entry forms. [email protected] Quote
