They we’re great. The rally ran primarily of packed snow/ice and at high speeds (someone estimated that we ran 80% of the rally at over 70 mph!) and we had NO issues at all with the tires. We brought 2 spares and never even took them off the car.

Hello Paul,
I am about to move up to Yellowknife and I am looking for some good snow tires for my WRX. How have your Hakkapeliitta 5’s been working for you?

Hey guys, great description of the day! I feel for you, we did the same thing on the Long Lake section at our first Alcan in 2000 and felt the same way showing up cold to the first ice slalom.

Manuals?! We don’t need no stinking manuals! Well maybe just a little bit.

Cooke, you’d love it. Another competitor was telling a local person in Whitehorse that a normal TSD rally has a TSD stage and then a transit. This rally, however, has a TSD and then a special stage and then a TSD and then a special stage…

The specials are 200, 300, even 400 miles at 85 mph. On snow, ice and slush. Of course there’s almost no traffic and we have radios to warn of oncoming traffic. We just have to keep it on the road and not do as high speed stuff. That’s all.

Nothing like being cold and 2500 miles from home and still being abused by your friends via the internet.
Pitch it sideways and throw some snow for me !

This is the part where Barbara is surely missed…….(MANual) do not know why the word man is included as we all know about the unwritten “man-law” that has been officially entered into the Book of Truth that NO MAN shall ever pick-up, be seen with or refer to any type of manual. Hope you have had a safe day!
