Based at the northern tip of Michigan’s northern or “ Upper Peninsula”, locals will refer to it as “dah U.P”. Lake Superior surrounds the rally route which is HQ’d in Houghton, Michigan. This is classic rally that truly tests every element of a rally driver’s talent behind the wheel. rally
LOCATION |Houghton, Michigan
The Upper Penninsula of Michigan is beautiful in the fall and features a history rooted in the mining industry that is evident throughout the area. A college town, with Michigan Technical University, Houghton is filled with rally mad students and long time fans. There are several great spectator locations and as the final event of the year you can expect all the teams to be celebrating together at the conclusion of the rally.
CONDITIONS |gravel, tarmac, mud, variable weather
The weather is certainly a mixed bag at LSPR. Rain and snow are strong possibilities but sustained freezing temperatures are unlikely. The weather will also vary quickly, putting added pressure on drivers to adapt to changing road surface conditions. The fall timeframe means amazing color in the leaves so bring the camera.
