Here is a list of Performance Rallies in the USA. All are stage rallies on
closed, public roads, and all are run at high speeds on the closed stages.

The biggest difference is that some of these roads will be unpaved or gravel,
and Targa Newfoundland states that all road are paved.
Take a look at the Maine Forest Rally, the closest to Newfoundland, on Aug
2nd. The ClubRally, which you would probably be interested in because you
aren't going for a National championship, is $500. You can probably still
register
for it.
Make sure you get the Performance Rally Rule book, available from the w
ww.scca.org web site. It will tell you everything you need to know about the
car
and what you need to bring.
Don't count out all of the TSD RoadRally events either. They state that all
speeds are legal, but believe me, many are at the limit! The divisional and
national rallies are the most challenging. I ran the Catoctin Monte
(Frederick, MD) a few years ago. In spite of having 18 zero legs out of 23
legs, we
still came in third (SOP class)!
Copy and paste the above links into your browser. Because I use AOL, you
will have to remove the extra space, between the first two w's. (Sorry!)
Good luck!
