Targa!

It's just a few days now until Targa Newfoundland. I'll be there co-driving for Rob Gritten, an accomplished road racer from Vancouver, in the Rocky Mountaineer Racing 1986 Toyota Corolla GTS.

Assuming that I can get onto the interwebs from the various hotels we're staying at, I'm planning to post news, photos and updates in the evenings. The action starts on Sunday, Sept. 9 with a non-scored "Prologue" day; the stuff that counts for points begins on Monday, Sept. 10 and goes until Friday, Sept. 14.

This rally isn't like most others. To begin with, it's all on tarmac - no gravel. Also, it has a wide variety of amazing vehicles... I believe the way they phrase it is "classics, or modern cars likely to become classics." On top of all that, it's HUGE: it's about the same mileage as an entire year of the Canadian Rally Championship, but compressed into one week.

So, check back here for pics and scuttlebutt from the rally. If you need a Targa fix between my updates, check the Event Tracker for near-real-time scores. We're in car 718.
