Fall Auto Rally 2001
held at the Volo Auto Museum -- Volo, Illinois
by Rick Smith
While it rained for a portion of this year's Fall Rally, it didn't dampen the excitement. It was an excellent opportunity to analyze how these cars and trucks perform in the wet. I found that some cars with extremely high performance on dry pavement can become a real "handful" on a rain soaked pavement.
At this event I drove several of these cars. Details about some of those that I drove are on the following pages.
Here are the some of the cars that were at the event:
2002 Subaru WRX
2002 Subaru
2002 Toyota
2002 Audi TT4 convertible
