[s-cars] NAC-World Rally Championship Withdrawl

[manuelsanchez at starpower.net]

S-Heads,

All this talk about the Gruppe-Q Event in Colorado, possible Canadian Snow Event, and reading about WRC results in the mags has awakened my WRC withdrawl funk.  It's been a whole year since NASCAR TV (I mean Speed TV) dropped WRC, and I thought a few months ago I read that someone was going to pick-up WRC events this year. I think the '07 WRC is in it's 2nd or 3rd event already and I have not seen any indication of a telecast anywhere.  Has anyone on-list seen a '07 event broadcast? If so where -- pray tell.

In order to try to calm the twitch that has developed in my left eye and right middle finger I took my boys into my back yard and had my own little Rally of Sweden in Maryland. The rear yard is a prefectly ice glazed surface, in fact, I have still been unable to break through the layers of ice when walking across it with my own weight plus 3 shovels, a pick and a baby sledge which if used to try to free some of the cars on the street.  I pulled out the 2 RC cars we have, Petter Soldberg Subaru and Sebastion Loeb Citroen and had a backyard ice rally. Tons of fun with the boys and wiping out into the trash cans due to carrying too much speed in the turn only required a little racing tape to fix the body work.

It was fun, but I still love to see a real WRC race, and soon.
