Cheap Seats Avail In Sa Corolla Desert Rally

[emu]

HI, ..........I'VE BEEN DOING OLD COROLLA DESERT RALLYS WITH THE (SA) ROTARY CLUB OF REGENCY PARK FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS, WHICH HAVE INCLUDED CAMERON'S CORNER/MOOMBA GASFIELDS/ARKAROOLA/ STREZLECKI TRACK, BIRDSVILLE TRACK/SIMPSON DESERT CROSSING, VICTORIAN GREAT SANDY DESERT, GOOG'S TRACK (CEDUNA TO NORTH) ETC

CARS NEED TO BE 30 YO PREPARED PUSHROD ROLLAS, AND WE'RE FULLY SUPPORTED BY PLENTY OF 4WD'S AND MECHANIC

RALLY INCUDES ALL YOUR MEALS PROVIDED FOR A WEEK AND COSTS ONLY $400 PER HEAD

THIS YEAR WE'VE AGAIN GOT A FULL FIELD OF CARS, BUT 3 OR 4 CARS AND A 4WD HAVE ONLY A DRIVER, SO 3 OR 4 SPOTS ARE AVAIL AS CO/DRIVER OR PASSENGER.

CONCEPT THIS YEAR IS A BIT DIFFERENT......INSTEAD OF A ROUND ROUTE, WE ARE GOING TO DRIVE TO MT IVE STATION ON SA WEST COAST AS A BASE, SLEEP THERE EACH NIGHT, AND DO DAILY BUSH TRACK RALLYS

RALLY LEAVES ADELAIDE SAT JULY 10, AND YOU'LL BE BACK IN ADELAIDE JULY 17

BECAUSE OF THE MT IVE STATION ACCOMMODATION, THERE'S AN EXTRA COST THIS YEAR OF (YOUR CHOICE) TENT ACCOM @ $50 FOR THE WEEK OR A COMFY ROOM IN THE SHEARER'S QUARTERS WITH WHITE SHEETS AND BLANKETS AT $125 EA FOR THE WEEK

GOTTA TELL YA , THIS IS THE BEST WEEK'S FUN EVER, FOR BUGGER ALL MONEY, THAT YOU'LL EVER HAVE WITH A GREAT MOB OF BLOKES (AND A FEW WOMEN USUALLY)

You can google Mt Ive Station yourself.......it's approx 100km west of Iron Knob

 

Logistically , we can only cater for approx 20 Corollas each year , and last year entrants get 1st preference, but if we need cars next year I'l let you know

So is it a competitive rally? Or just flexing from a to b?

ok..........I've just left the rally social bbq , and there is one cancellation of a corolla entry, so you can enter a car, or just enter as a passenger/co-driver.

the beauty of this event is that, whilst it's challenging, you also have full mechanical/retrieval backup..........ie no matter what happens to your car, they get you home again.

This is not a full on rally , it's a social event, ......that you can get into as hard ,....or as soft as you like, and you've always got a 4wd to get you out of any shit you may get into.

and if you need a car , i have a spare car , a ke50 in good nick ,advertised for sale in the forum here

I'm also told today that the daily runs are not that hard.........the hardest bit is the last day , from which you can detour if you wish, and travel home on the bitumen

 

Call me if you're interested
