[urq] Group B Rally car display for the Lake Superior Pro Rally in Oct...

[Tim Maskus]

( Please share this with anyone who owns a Group B Era Street or Actual
Rally Car )

A few of us Group B Rally Club members will be hosting a static display of
Group B era cars on Friday and Saturday during the Rally. Friday am will be
at the Country Inn and Suites, and Saturday am will be downtown.

Group B Rally Club is a US-based club formed as a way to share information
and link enthusiast owners of rally-style cars generally from the 1970’s and
1980’s. Although some members own documented rally or homologation cars from
the era, most have built their own street-based versions – everything from
gravel to safari to tarmac cars – primarily in a ‘period correct’ manner.
The emphasis of the club is to DRIVE the cars. Stone chips, dings and dents
are badges of honor in our world. But there are no hard & fast rules – only
a passion for rally cars of the 70’s and 80’s is required.

Since a wide array of cars was rallied in that era, the club is open to many
marques and models. Obviously, the Audi quattro, the Lancia Integrale and
Stratos, the Ford Escort, the Fiat 131, the Saab 99, the Porsche 911, and
the Renault 5 Turbo are a few of the legendary rally cars that spring to
mind. Some lesser known rally cars include the Mazda RX7, Peugeot 505,
various Opels, the Volkswagen Golf Mk 1 & II, the BMW 2002/325/M3, Triumph
TR7/8, Volvo 240, Datsun 510, Dodge Colt …. the list is nearly endless. The
club intends to host various events including casual driving events,
rallycross, track days, ice racing, and get-togethers at Rally America and
other sanctioned rally events.

Membership into the club requires ownership of either a street or
competition rally car from the late 70's through 1986.

If you own or know of anyone who would like to display their car please
