In my short rally career, I've been all over the US and the west coast guys say, "oooh, look out when you come here, we have big cliffs and WATERBARS. You east coast guys don't know how tough our roads are." They also call RIM the toughest rally in the US. That is Bull, er rubbish. After BlackBear I went to Maine and couldn't tell much difference. In 40 minutes this little rally caused a lot of hardships and in comparison, RIM was more fun than frightening, those cute little bumps broke up the monotanty of going back and forth so slowly.
Congratulations on running the notes AND recce. The SCCA not allowing writing in the notes book does nothing to level the competition.

If someone wants to check himself, his navigator and car in the most challenging way possible, in a fun and friendly atmosphere - put Black Bear on your list for 2003.
