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!

[Constant_Project21]

Psh who need cruise control? Lol or ac for that matter

[s1ngletracker]

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

[Constant_Project21]

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

[cmspaz]

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.

[Matt D.]

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.

[s1ngletracker]

the sarcasm is strong with this one.

lol damn typo I meant to say I not u...

[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!!!)

[Kracka]

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

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

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

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.

[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 :/
