    It had been a long, hot summer in Nova Scotia. Wild fires had closed down access to the woods and to hiking and cycling trails, smoke filled the air and there seemed no respite from the heat. Rain? One of my friends reported he had forgotten where the wiper switch was in his car. So…

    At the risk of getting ahead of ourselves, I need to let you know about the start village for the Lost in Lunenburg Rally on October 18. It could go down as the most picturesque start point of any road rally in recent memory. In my opinion, Indian Point (just a few kms around the…

    OK, all of you road racers have had your fun on the big AMP weekend. Can our road rally program get some love now? This is all tongue-in-cheek, of course. I don’t begrudge our circuit racing brothers and sisters (a number of whom either compete in road rally or are significantly involved in it) a…

    We hope you enjoyed the Bluenose Rally on May 24. I know things went well at CP 8 and it was great to hear the stories of rally mayhem over a wonderful curling club dinner at the finish. The rallying community is full of top-notch people and spending post-rally time with them over sustenance and…

    With everything else on the go (the 2025 motorsport season is ramping up here in Nova Scotia) I find myself behind the curve with my promise to keep you updated on those types of route instructions you may find on rallies this year. After our post on herringbone diagrams, I promised a spot on numbered…

    I know it’s been a quiet couple of weeks on the RRDG group and on our website. I’ve had a welcome visit from some of our European family, and it has also given the rest of the RRDG a chance to review some documentation, survey some rally routes, and move forward with a few new…

    For those of you not familiar with our climatic challenges here on the Atlantic coast of Canada, you may find it strange we have scheduling difficulties when it comes to motorsport events in the region. A short driving season (think May to November, if we’re lucky) and a number of track, rally and other events…
