I lived in St. John's for a long time and watched the rally first hand - it looks even more fun in person!

I think it looks like alot of fun! Has anyone on here been to one? I'd like to attend next year, the car's not ready yet, and would be too much of a rush to go this year. Any other events kind of like this in the fall or early spring? Summer is my business' busy season and can't get away. Would like to hear some of your stories of it and do's and don'ts lol.

I have friends that have participated in this rally and they say it's off the charts..... The whole community rallies behind this and the event is apparently awesome...

I looked into it.... 5k entry fee :-(

[CHRIZ28]

Oh yea, it's pretty costly, but looks like one of those things "you've just gotta do!" I watched the race on SPEED I think a while back, and the views and scenery were just awesome. Can't imagine actually being there and getting to see the cool little towns and all.

Great stuff, but way too pricey for me.

The more affordable open road races are awesome too.

Targa is the insparation for my current project 65 Corvair 500, im hoping to have it ready for next year,. hands down the best race around.

We may in fact be doing it this September in the Charger. We're actually just trying to work out the logistics. Anyone else want to go and represent the Pro-touring community with us?

Do you have a build thread or pics of the 'vair, I'd love to see that!

I have enjoyed watching the TN on speed a couple times and it's on my bucket list some day.

[65-Flat6]

I'd love to but this year we're heading to the Silver State again that weekend. I had hoped to run the Targa Newfoundland and the Targa West next year in the new car but unfortunately they've cancelled the one in B.C.

Id love to do it when I get my car done but it would be a hard thing to put together....

and you will never meet nicer bunch of people than Newfoundlanders
