SNO*DRIFT RALLY |
www.sno-drift.org
Sno*Drift is the first stop on the 2007 Rally America National Championship and it is a full-on battle that takes place over snow and ice across the back roads of northeastern lower Michigan.
LOCATION |
Atlanta, Michigan
The Sno*Drift Rally - held in the middle of winter in northeastern lower Michigan - takes place where snowmobiles and Elk probably outnumber cars. As in past years the rally is headquartered in Atlanta, Michigan but it also passes through the towns of Lewiston and Hillman.
CONDITIONS |
snow, ice, frozen gravel
Winter conditions in Michigan are hard to predict, but some combination of fresh snow and glazed ice can always be expected. Current rules restrict rally cars from using studded ice tires which makes finding traction extremely difficult for the drivers. If there has been good snowfall in the days leading up to the rally expect to see large snowbanks lining the roads. These snowbanks can be a help and a hazard for drivers as they try to stay on the road. Dress for warmth and don't forget to bring your snowmobile! |
