MAINE FOREST | www.maineforestrally.com

The rocky logging roads of western Maine represent homecoming for a great number of northeastern rally teams. The Maine Forest Rally is based at the Sunday River Ski Resort and features car breaking gravel roads. John Buffum, the most accomplished American rally driver in the sport's long history, helps put this event together.

LOCATION | Rumford, Maine & Bethel, Maine

This rally is based at a winter ski resort, but come summertime the roads in the area are crowded with sliding rally cars. The race snakes through vast areas of land owned by lumber or paper companies. These roads are active logging roads, and when the rally is not in town they are used daily by 18 wheeler logging trucks. Don't miss the spectator area at the Mexico Rec Park. It's a short stage that runs through the town's recreation park -- around the backstop of the baseball field and past the playground!

CONDITIONS | Rough gravel, rocks, warm

Expect fun in the sun if you're a spectator. For drivers, however, the heat, dust, and rocky roads represent a unique challenge. Road conditions are fast, and hitting stray rocks on the edge of the road ends things abruptly for many drivers. Bring your sunscreen and your mountain bike, as summertime in Maine is an outdoor enthusiast's dream come true.
