If you love spirited driving on backroads, these events are for you! Here are two great winter rallies in one weekend; you can run these rallies in your street car with no special modifications. Grab a friend and let’s go!

Flamethrower RoadRally- February 28, 2026

Flamethrower Rally is a brisk Regularity (TSD) Rally which invites you to compete from Hastings to Lake City on some of Minnesota’s best driving roads. The course takes advantage of the elevation changes, natural twisty gravel backroads, and challenging winter conditions in the valleys flowing into the Mississippi River. Road conditions can range from frozen gravel to snow and even some ice. Back from popular demand are minimum maintenance roads as long as they are passable with a stock economy car! “Flamethrower” is a reference to Lucas Flamethrower driving lights because much of this rally will be held in dusk and nighttime conditions!

Alligator Slide RoadRally- Mar 1, 2026

Back for its second year in the modern era, Alligator Slide Rally is a brisk Regularity (TSD) Rally which invites you to compete from Lake City to Red Wing on some of Wisconsin’s best driving roads. The course pits you against the same fun and challenging driving weather conditions in Flamethrower, but includes a mix of paved & gravel roads sure to keep you on your toes! You may expect to encounter sandy areas, snow, and possibly some ice. “Alligator Slide” is a reference to a classic driftless-area rally road from back when people drove Datsuns!
