Whizbang Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Curious how many rally oriented folks we having floating around here. This can be road rally, TSDs, rallycrossers or stage rally. Trying to get an idea what the base is. I have been organizing a rally out in Idaho for a few years and since im moving back to ohio sooner than later, I have been kicking around the idea of brining back a rally to Ohio. Perhaps the sameish event as Sunriser that ran under the SCCA Prorally years. This event was run from the evening into the morning. This format would be unique in the country, but possibley not fiesable to put on. But that is a discussion for a later time. I have considered doing a TSD version of the Sunriser as you need view human cones. First go might be a rally sprint under NASA rallysport. Essentially one or two stages ran several times. Its cheaper, takes less man power and would be a good way to ease in the event in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I'm a competitor and one of the organizers of the local SCCA RallyCross program. I'm sure there would be plenty of interested in a RallySprint event or similar. I'm sure you're probably already on SpecialStage.com, and you should also check out DirtyImpreza.com if you haven't already. CORC-rally.org is the local TSD club as well.

Whizbang Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 thats awesome your dad participated! Perhaps he knows the people who held the event in the past or has information from it? I have been trying to start a data base of rally information, stories, memorabilia, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been trying to start a data base of rally information, stories, memorabilia, etc. My dad is deceased, sorry. The guy in charge of it was Dick Paddock if I remember correctly, who also does the TSD that is ran on those roads now. I do have stories and memorabilia, though.

Dick Paddock is the only reason the Sunriser continued as long as it did. He would be a wealth of information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whizbang Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 curious, why did it end? organizers tired of it or the SCCA prorally failing and not picked up by RA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall, yes, yes & yes. I think alot of it had to do with the fees ODNR charged for "road repair" after the event had run and other assorted regulatory issues/permissions/hassles - but my recollection may not be deadly accurate....

Whizbang Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 is there a central page for all the TSD and road rally stuff in ohio? I see old posts about events, but nothing very informative for future stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 It is just CORC. It is rarely updated, and if it is, very incomplete information and broken links. http://www.corc-rally.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
