This post is just an FYI for the IT racers across the country. Each year in September (year 8 coming up) the people of the province of Newfoundland host a 1400 mile, 6 day, tarmac high speed road rally. This rally is open to anyone that holds a current competition license. It features approx. 8 high speed stages interconnected with 9 transit stages each day throughout the week. The high speed stages range from 2 miles long to 30 miles long, all on rural asphalt roads & town streets across the province. There are over 2000 volunteers to put on this event.

This is truely an amazing hi-level televised international event. Each year 60-90 teams from California to Europe to Australia contest 9 different classes depending on the vehicle. Cars need to be street legal with full roll cage, etc. Many of the teams have no rally experience (including myself). I have been road racing for 16 years and decided to give this a try in 2003. We finished first in our class, finishing 8 overall (out of 64).

This is a must-do motorsport event at least once in one's lifetime. Most of you IT Racers do have the necessary skills required to do this event. If you are interested in obtaining more info you can check out the Targa Newfoundland website at;
