Now is the time to start prepping and register for the CSCC’s Mudlark TSD Rally!  This is a novice rally, but some driving proficiency will be required due to the change of terrain.  You will experience gravel, dirt and mud, with an occasional goat trail.

You will want to consider whether you need to do anything to your vehicle for the above conditions, but otherwise, there is no “required” car prep.  All competitors must have a standing safety triangle, a first aid kit, and a fire extinguisher in their vehicles, but otherwise there is no specialty equipment required.

If you want some practice before the Northern Loon, try out the Mudlark in Calgary in May!  If you’re not interested in Driving or Co-Driving, the CSCC still needs more volunteers to help with tech, checkpoints, etc.  Check out their website for more information.

If you’d like to drive or navigate, but don’t have a partner, post in the comments to see if you can find your missing teammate!
