    Agreed. My brother was in charge of the Oregon Trail Rally and faced the same issues. It's also why the Wild West Rally moved out East.

    It's a TSD rally, arguably the "original" rally. TSD (Time, Speed, Distance) rallies run on public roads, at legal speeds.

    Yeah, Thunderbird is difficult (though fun). I've won my class there, but we weren't running video and intentionally sliding sideways.

    This is the RallyBC series in British Columbia, Canada. It's a great series. I haven't done it in years, but this is the Thunderbird Rally, which takes place in February. There is normally far more snow than this, but sometimes it's just gravel.

    The Funniest Story You’ll Ever Hear About A Rolex

    Agree 100%. When I was active in rally (before they required any special shoes), I used my Converse high-tops. Not because they gave me any special feel, but because they were small on my feet and reduced the chance of tripping over myself during heel-toe maneuvers.

    Seconded! When I ran rally, it was always entertaining to watch John Lane in his insane Volvo.

    EPCOT didn't make the list? Not just an amusement park!

    Excellent version. I'm used to hearing the Dean Martin version from '59 (which is a fantastic version in itself).

    Co-worker's half sister, eh? I've heard that somewhere...

    While I agree that the car was over the line, and was "at fault," like a bicycle rider the moto has more to lose in this situation. Thus, he should be taking pains to give himself as many safe exits from hairy situations as possible. In my opinion, it's the riders responsibility to take as many precautions as

    Yeah, that's true. I'm a fan of the town Sequim (pronounced "skwim"), and Klickitat County.

    I grew up with a guy who's dad was an ambulance driver in the late 60s and through the 70s. He used to hate when they'd have to cross that bridge on a call, because inevitably traffic would suck, and since it's so narrow there's nowhere for anyone to go. So they would just sit there, hardly moving, with lights going

    We have awesome county names here in Oregon. Yamhill (mmm...a hill of yams), Polk (PORK?!?), etc

    Hate to break it to the guy in the Grand Am, but his video is going to be nearly useless to law enforcement. See, there's no easy way to tell if the Grand Am is driving 10 under the limit, and those passing him are merely going to the limit themselves. Or maybe the Grand Am is driving 10 over the limit. Or 25

    Look! A video of people who have never heard of video editing software!

    I love D.C. as a walking town. The presence of the Washington Monument makes it so you're never lost. It can be seen from pretty much anywhere, giving you an instant point of reference.

    No, I don't think you understand. The man loves to comb through the rules above and beyond "knowing the rules." Like, specifically looking for loopholes. It's not a bad thing, but if you've ever read the technical rules for the various racing classes (or the tax code for the taxes you pay), it can be very dry and

    Sometimes the rules cause a different kind of "cheating."
