About this event
Flamethrower & Alligator Slide Winter Rallies
Get your snow tires ready! Here are two great winter rallies in one weekend!
This is a SAVE THE DATE posting and will be updated later.
Flamethrower RoadRally- February 22, 2025
Flamethrower Rally is a Regularity Rally run in the Minnesota part of the Driftless area. The course takes advantage of the elevation changes, natural twisty roads, and challenging winter conditions in the valleys flowing into the Mississippi River. "Flamethrower" is a reference to the Lucas Flamethrower driving lights, and as such, much of this rally will be held not only in challenging terrain and winter weather conditions, but also in dusk and nighttime conditions!
Alligator Slide RoadRally- February 23, 2025
Alligator Slide Rally is a Regularity Rally run in the Wisconsin part of the Driftless area. The course pits you against the same fun and challenging driving conditions in Flamethrower, but includes a mix of paved & gravel roads sure to keep you on your toes! "Alligator Slide" is a reference to a classic driftless-area rally road which hasn't been run in many years- until now!
Each car must include two people: a driver and a navigator. No other passengers are allowed. If your navigator is a minor a special release is required.
No special equipment is required. For the most fun, we recommend you download the Rabbit Rally 2.0 app to use our interactive digital roadbook and GPS timing. Rabbit Rally 2.0 offers an interactive digital roadbook and does all calculations for you so that you always know if you are on time. Time Allowances are now integrated directly into Rabbit for easier operation.
Timing is done via independent GPS boxes mounted on your windows.

It is highly recommended to use snow tires. Most all season tires are not. We suggest you also bring standard winter travel items such as a blanket, boots, warm weather gear, and ensure your car has a recovery point in case you go off the road.
