TSD?

Post by lonewolf014 »

Didn't you guys run a TSD at one of the hill climbs a year or two ago? My wife and I were thinking of trying to do one or two of these this year and were trying to find some pretty close to us. I was thinking if you had one at okemo or Mt Philo we could make one or both of them.

I believe you might be refering to a TSD that started at the base of Ascutney. That one was run by SCCNH. We have not put on a TSD in a long time. Two clubs that do them in VT and NH are Sports Car Club of New Hampshire(SCCNH.org) and the New England Chapter of SCCA (NER.org).

I just remembered that there were a couple of TSDs that was done on Saturday after the hill was closed at a couple of hillclimbs. They were for drivers and workers to participate in. I remember Ascutney and Okemo being the hills it was done at.

I do a lot of TSD rallies, and NER is pretty much the only game in town any more. They put on a good series and my son and I have a lot of fun doing them. The next one in their series should be the Big Lap Rally (central NH) in June. It's not on their web page yet, but I spoke with the rally master at the last event, and he assured me that it would be happening. After that is the Rally Against Leukemia in August, and then Vermont's own Covered Bridge Rally in November. The other two big NER rallies are the Vermont Winter Challenge Rally and the Frost Heaves Rally, both in February.

The next closest groups that do a lot of TSDs are the SCCA Finger Lakes Region (quite a long drive from Vermont), and the Sports Motor Car Club in Montreal (which use a bit of a different procedure than U.S. rallies, but are the same idea).

We used to have a pretty active TSD series. What happened to the guy in the yellow beetle that ran them? I know they are a lot of work to put together, but they are fun, especially since anyone can participate.

Lance Pickup (yellow beetle guy) was our last true "Rally Coordinator" before the board position merged into "Event Coordinator". Unfortunately, he moved south to the Carolinas a few years back.

I don't think they are doing the long course, but I'm not 100% certain.

I think they are going pass the bridge to the normal finish. Last I knew they gave up on that idea unless things that changed recently.
