Your senior volunteer committee is working hard to put the finishing touches together. A major change this year is the addition of Motorcycles to the lineup which has required additional planning and volunteer resources. Everyone is excited to get out there and run these fantastic roads again.
Iron Mule Rally is a Rallysprint style event with 110.7 stage miles and only 7.3 miles of transits. The road surface is similar to Hardwood in some places and tighter in others. Lots of nicely crowned gravel, set in rolling hills. For about half the rally, the Iron Mule roads are tighter than Hardwood with lower average speeds and lots of twisties. It'll be a nice mix of open and tighter sections. Being a Rallysprint style event means there is time at the turnarounds to hang out for a few minutes with your fellow rally crews, take a few pictures (last stage selfie!), or make minor repairs and adjustments to your car. Bring a sharp set of rally tires, your best Recce game, and all your driver skill for this fourth and final round of the Atlantic Rally Cup!
This year there are even more reasons to come on out, with the event being a key part of the UP Rally Series (https://www.lsprorally.com/up-rally-series), and an entry discount up for grabs for the Lake Superior Performance Rally!
As with all events, there are plenty of volunteer opportunities. Create an account at the link above and sign up to help out!
