Rally/Rallycross Photos Thread (the Dirty e30s)

[slowbaru]

as Scot Crowner, the old man (and reigning SR class champ) of the local region with the beater blue ETA above always says to me at every event: "That car looks too nice to rallycross"

Lol looks better in pics. My buddy (the PO) ran it into a ditch, core support is trashed and hood/fenders don't line up. And normal rust spots. Perfect dd/rallyx!

there's a 2-day event at Summit Point the 2nd weekend of June. Make a road trip of it, stay overnight at a nearby motel (or camp out at the track like many do)!

I would love to rallycross my iX! There are only 2 events this summer near NYC :(

[irish44j]

yes, yes you do! Summit is definitely driving distance from NJ (we have people coming from southern va. and baltimore and farther)....and we need more e30s to try to take down the four RX-7s that are the top RWD dogs right now!

This thread is epic. Great, now I need to pick up another E30 to rally x'ing with.

ah must be so nice to have actual dirt!

here we either have rock-hard-like-pavement clay, slick-as-ice wet clay, or super-loose-and-dusty clay that leaves clouds behind every car that hang for minutes!

some of my iX at a rallyx back in march, can't wait until the next one in june!

Lol. I want to go in an e30. Just not my stupidly street biased e30...

[irish44j]

I daily drive a tune WRX, and at our test and tune I drove the modified-class champion's Subaru GC 2.5RS. It was way, way less fun than the e30. I also drove the silver 318is in the pic above, and even though it's beat to hell it's still a blast.

Rallycross in an AWD car or a more modern car wouldn't be nearly as fun, IMO. E30s with a mild setup can do very well in RWD classes. I took 2nd in class at the event above (just behind the defending champion in a 2nd gen RX-7 with 50 more horses). And that is with a freakin M10!

I want to go rallycross. Not in my e30 though.

[irish44j]

yeah....no it's actually quite bad, lol. Looks good from 20 feet away when moving though :)

Your rallyx car's paint is better than my car's.

Fuck yeah E30s.
