Belle Fourche is nice, but I would not recommend entering in the All Car Rally they hold every summer. I entered #3309 three times when I lived in Rapid City and they are Late model snobs. The most often used quote was "it is only a GT". They used entrant judging, but it seemed the locals always seemed to win. My second year there, I did a top to bottom detail and didn't even get a mention. But the riced out Grand Am won our division with his neon and bling... He didn't even bother to wipe the bugs off his front end, yet still "wowed" the crowd... I hope the Mustang Rally in Sturgis goes well this year, my club in Rapid City will be there.
