Route 66 Rally - CR in the lead (pics)

Recommended Posts

Everything is going pretty well with the Rally. CR is being represented with 3 teams. Doc & Farkas in the Benzzz, Seth & his brother in his GLH Dodge Omni (not his Viper), and Jeffro + I in the Cobalt SS.

 

Despite many of the other competitors with some serious rally gear, the Omni is in the lead overall, with Doc then myself not too far behind thus far. CR is being represented pretty well.

 

On to the pics. Complete photos to come after we are all done...

 

 

Started at Chicagoland Raceway

First checkpoint on the first day. One of the original gas stations.

We picked up a few things at Wal-Mart after the first day to make things easier.

Rumors spread fast of Doc's speed. (I will let him explain)

Lots of nice cars including new camaros, challengers, etc.

Ya i didn't even know about that either. This is fucking awesome. Doc is the shit for being in the lead of that thing. How many entrants are there in this rally? Like is this a pretty big deal?

 

Few things:

There has been an ongoing thread about this rally for several months now. unless your inactive on the forum, you couldnt have missed it.

Doc is not the shit because he is NOT in the lead of this "thing". if you would have read above, were pretty certain team omni(seth and his bro) are in the lead, although no times are official yet

Pretty big deal? apparently not to you. however, for the participants, its an experience of a lifetime and were having tons of fun.

 

Reporting in from Catoosa Oklahoma, this is Jeff with Team Cobalt.

GO CR! I bet you guys are having a ton of fun. Nice job, keep at it :cool:

 

LOL at the numerous mentions of Doc's car from Team Camaro:

I saw this in their little article...

 

Our modified Camaro coupe is equipped with 17 inch American Racing Rebel rims with 275 width tires all around: which means every time we hit a large bump or dip in the pavement, “WHAMPF”, our rear fenders would lower down and rub against the tires.

 

Funny that my 285's never seem to have a problem with rubbing fenders. Or 315's. Their wheels rub because 17" Rebels are not available in the correct f-body offset/backspacing

I doubt anyone hits "Quick Links --> Today's Threads" more than me. Maybe the other thread title sucked? Maybe I was too busy reading about 19 year old girls who are proud to be "street". I dunno.

 

More importantly... kudos again to the racers.

Rumor has it that the driver of the silver Mercedes Sl, with its monstrous V12, was seen doing over 160 m.p.h. on the highway earlier on today. We remember him flying by our Camaro at 110 m.p.h!

i'm sorry, i guess you misunderstood my comment. I think its fucking awesome and i am jealous 1000 times over. I only hope that i can someday do something similar.

 

Unfortunately, i guess i don't check around enough so i haven't seen any thread about this on CR, so thats why i posted to ask info.

 

To me it is a huge deal, all i meant to say was, does it have a large following, like, is it as big as the one in Europe. I wasn't trying to shit on it or anything. Cool your jets man.
