I have created a blog to chronicle my efforts to prepare for and compete in three different Sports Car Club of America Championship events in 2012:

The Tireack Solo Nationals in Lincoln, Nebraska (Sep 4-7)
The Rallycross National Championship in Tulsa, Oklahoma (Oct 5-7)
The United States RoadRally Challenge in Detroit, Michigan (Oct 20-21)

I will post notices and links here when I make new entries. Feel free to comment on the blog or here.

ditto on the first one, though I think graphics only really look good if the car has a good amount of non-stock cosmetic features (e.g. wheels, aero, etc). I am not at all a fan of big vinyl on an otherwise stock-looking car, personally.

The second was the Subaru Rally Team USA graphics package in '06 or '07, although I have reduced the size a bit.

I checked your location and said, "Where the hell did he find a Rallycross?"

Oh...Indy...

Still, it's good to see a semi-half local GRMer hitting some events. I'll be watching this thread and the blog with great interest.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it! I kept meaning to introduce myself but never got a chance.

Maybe I'll see you sometime at an Indy RallyCross.

Good luck at the RoadRally!
