Re: Rally Cross
The only thing I managed to break yesterday was my cruise control, no idea how that happened. Was driving home and went to use it, just didn't work. Boo!

Re: Rally Cross
I like my creature comforts. Just charged up my AC too, so yesterday in the starting line I was nice and cool.

Re: Rally Cross
Both of those parts don't even exist on my car anymore. Abs? Unecessary. Still have power steering though.

Re: Rally Cross
ABS is unnecessary. Especially since the DSM variant sucks major balls.
AC, hell, most fully prepped race cars have it, so why shouldn't mine? I use cruise too, when I'm driving alone. When I'm in a group, I generally opt out.

Re: Rally Cross
Of course none of you should have AC, power steering and cruise control. Because you all drive race cars.

I drive a POS? My car only comes with three pedals, and cruise control isn't even an option. Must mean I drive a race car.

Re: Rally Cross
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!!!)

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

Terrain will be a mix between hard pack clay, black soil and loose gravel, gentle to cars. While every effort possible will be made to make the course as long as possible; we may, due to circumstances beyond our control and the nature of the site be forced to limit the length of the course.
All competitors and spectators must sign the official SCCA Waiver of Liability (1). All minors present must have a minor waiver (2) filled out. Please download the registration (3) and identification (4) forms, and have them filled out prior to the event. The 2009
LOL RallyCross Championship will be run under the 2009 SCCA Rally Cross Rules (5) and the 2009 LOL Championship Rules.
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.
