Twas my birthday yesterday... and at the bottom of the box was a little envelope.... opened it to find airline tix to France for a few days and then up to Finland for some kind of ...race or something the 1st weekend in August. WRC I think it was.

Soo... anyone going?

Going? Ha! I'm competing!! Yup, Subaru's had enough of that slouch, Peter or Pedder or whatever his name is, and they've decided to throw me in the car completely untested.

Whoa! Very nice KC. I'd love to go since it is my favorite rally, but can't go this time.

Have fun and see if you can bum a ride with Petter.

Enjoy the scenery there, it's really beautiful. It should be a bit cool(like 40's at night and 60's-70's during the day). If only they had a rally a bit earlier in the summer(June or July). I'm jealous

The last time I was in Finland, it was Jan of 1991.

This will be a welcome contrast to that winter.

January '91? Man, it's definitely nicer in August as opposed to the middle of winter. At least you'll get 15+ hours of light a day around that time.

When did it get dark in the winter up there, around 3:30-4?

Fun, fun, fun.

I'm going in '05

I'm told its a good rally, very well done. I hear the nightlife in Jyvaskyla is the sux0r though.

Make sure to post whats up.

Next rallies:

'04 OMV ADAC Rallye Deustchland
'05 Uddeholm Swedish Rally
'05 Neste Rally Finland

finnRex · 04-30-2004, 08:45 PM

Jyvaskyla is not known for their nightlife...best bet would be the capital(surprise, surprise). Helsinki can be good, but call ahead. If you want to chill and have a beer, stay in Jyvaskyla. As far as clubbing, forget it. They may have 1 or 2 "clubs", which double as daytime restaurants/buffets.

Hope that helps.
