Rallycross Rocks!

Oh man, I NEED one of those die-cuts to replace the bumper stickers on my front quarter panels. That'd look GREAT on BRG.

Are you sure it didn't break?

Well, some things are a little less functional now. I had to resolder the instrument cluster connectors so that the speedometer would work again, and I found a bad tie rod end last night. No biggie.

Ha! I knew it! Looks like you guys had a blast though. I'm surprised to see the bridgestones though, I wouldn't think they would like dirt much

They didn't. But...it was a mixed surface event with enough asphalt that it would have torn up tires that would have worked well on the dirt. It was actually kinda fun. Autocross-like kart track, 100 yard transition over dirt to 1/2 of a road course to dirt, back to road course through the finish. 4 minutes of "woohoo!" per run.

Come to think of it, it was like Super Motard, but with cars and no jumps.

how was a single cone worth 30 seconds? Typically they are only two seconds each! What tire did you run? I run whatever snow tires I have around..they work soo much better than summer and no-season tires.

Yea, because it wasn't an SCCA or NASA event, the organizer can do whatever he wants...and since he wanted to slow us down through certain chicanes, those cones were worth a lot.

We used the UHP Bridgestone RE01R. Not a good choice for dirt, but a great choice for the asphalt sections of the course. Winter tires would have been destroyed as there was at least 2 min. worth of asphalt in the 4 minute course run.

and holy crap, I just got the A/C working. I'm expecting it to blow up at any time.

I wish we had some awesome racing like there here. I look at the sub $1k cars on c-list all the time wishing I could buy one for rallyx action

Now I just need to find out where (or if) they run rallycrosses in Georgia. Congratulations!
