That's exactly what I was getting at....wait, did I sense some sarcasim in that statement?

[s1ngletracker]

the sarcasm is strong with this one.

[MATCHBX]

For as many race cars as there are (by that definition of not having cruise, ac and such) on here, we should have better turnouts at the track................................(let the sarcasm drip!!!)

Most people are afraid to drive their cars, let alone race them.

Corcoran Lion's park is located just outside the loop, just west of I494 and north of Highway 55. This event is the closest to the metro, and a really short drive for all the westies on here.

The surface is gravel and some clay, not grass over dirt.

The venue is designed for events, so spectating and parking are excellent.

The event is a National Challenge event, which means that contingency payouts are available. This means that if you're driving a VW, you could actually win money. I'm sure more information will be available, but you could look on scca.com for RallyCross contingency programs and that'd let you know what's what.

You don't need any special tires to run at this venue. In fact, I've run a WRX on hig-performance summer tires with good results.

FYI! One change from our standard events is that EVERY run will count!

Honestly, if I wasn't leaving town that day, I'd run my car. Anyone who wants to try it, this is the event to do it at, the venue isn't going to destroy anything.

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Haha I would drive my "race car" (no ps or ac) at the track if I had the time.

[s1ngletracker]

can't make it, i'll be in illinois

[Constant_Project21]

lets just say im not gonna make it...

[s1ngletracker]

Did you start going fast enough? You wouldn't have gone anyway :P

[Constant_Project21]

I was actually pumped about it, not so much anymore :/

[MATCHBX]

This surface is probably the easiest on the cars of all the venues around here. I'm bringing the MR2 out of retirement for one last run. I've never done well at this venue, but I've always had a good time doing it.

Can't wait!! Only a few more days!! We need more entries. Come on, there's someone coming out from Denver to compete. Nobody around here can use the excuse "it's too far away." Now if your car is broke (which most modded DSM's usually are), that's a different story.

[s1ngletracker]

I'm confused as to how pea gravel could be easier on your car... Seems like it would do more damage than soft dirt.

Sorry to get back to you so late on this one.

It's not so much the pea gravel as it is the ruts and bumps that form easier in a soft field than a hard packed gravel parking lot.

We have the rallycross coming up on Nov 1st and possibly one on Nov 21st. Nov 1st is in Cannon Falls. The 21st will possibly be up in Elk River. I'm not sure on the location for the 21st, but it's almost a go.

I would let someone else run my car as well, but I don't know if it would stand up to twice the torture in one day.

[MustGoFaster]

Ok, there is a Rally X on November 1st. I want to go, but don't have a car to drive. My Stealth is too low and I don't think slicks or extreme performance summer tires are the right tires for Rally X.

1st question: Can two people drive the same car at a Rally X?

2nd question: Can I drive your car?

1, yes u can co drive
2. maybe I might already have someone lined up but I will let you know. my rules for co driving are u break it u help fix it.

[s1ngletracker]

ah, gotcha. Thanks for the explanation. I'll be there at both events, assuming they both happen! I'm kinda thinking that they're both gonna be wet though. I didn't realize that the race could be so easily canceled by a bit of rain. I totally think we could have run the last time. I know my car wouldnt have any problems getting around

[MATCHBX]

Ahh, yeah, you would've got stuck. If Amy's car with rally tires on and mine with winter tires had a hard time, anything with street tires would've been stuck. The problem is the clay and silt. It clumps up and packs into everything.

We are checking out the field tomorrow to see how it is. A little rain is fine, but that field can not sustain large amounts in a short time.

There is talk of a field in Elk River that we may end up using. I'll keep you guys posted as to whether it will be in Cannon Falls or Elk River this weekend.
