For those interested... here is the Trail Of The GNU TSD Rally, as seen from our 1970 Volvo 144S.

As usual, this years Trail Of The GNU Rally in Rocky Mountain House Alberta was one of the best TSD rally's that we enter into each year. This year had allot of gravel and mud, but also a ton of glare ice to make things REALLY tricky. A very fun and challenging event, with loads of good poeple and great drivers. With time declarations at a minimum, the scores added up quickly and at the end of the day anything was possible. 

In the end the winners were Taisto Heinonen from BC and Leanne Tunnila from AB in their 2001 Audi TT. Together Jack Bensley and Ryan Oliver managed a 2nd place in our 1970 Volvo 144.

Thank you to all the organizers and volunteers, you guys make the 12 hour trip worth while! Keep up the great work!

Still working on editing many hours of video footage into something watchable. But I did manage to get some time to upload some photos of the 2011 Totem Rally to the Splashes Gallery. Click here to see just a few of the photos from the event hosted by the WRCA.

Tanner Foust drifts his Rockstar Energy Drink Scion TC Drift Car on a legendary stretch of Mulholland Highway known as "The Snake". Watch Tanner unleash his 600hp NASCAR V8 powered Scion drift car on this famed road. There were no rehearsals and most of the film is of Tanner¹s first run on a clean stretch of road. And, yes, the road was closed.


WARNING: Do not attempt what you are about to see.
