Rallycross!!

[iamsam]

Dude I so would have been there if I didn't have to work. Hell I bet I flew over it. Is it the big complex south of 35R? South of I-70 below DIA. East of Aurora Reservoir? If so I think I've seen it. Can't wait to see the pics.

I don't think so, it's the rally area south of Deer Trail, CO on I-70.

First video is up!

This one is Mike biffing in his jeep. Sorry I couldn't document the most intense part, I was trying too hard to not be run over. Pretty much Mike got distracted (he says) and lost control at about 70ish and went off the track, where he almost flipped due to huge ditches.

Yeah, Deer Trail is East of Aurora Reservoir...

This was the most fun I've had watching/driving in a long time.

1. Sam's friend is one crazy mf who almost rolled his jeep at 65mph.
2. The full circuit is seriously fun to drive: off camber turns, blind crests, big sweepers, tight hairpins, S curves and plenty of elevation change.
3. Stock e30 suspension will own on the circuit (Sam's car is a bit low...)
4. We are definitely going back. Several times. No, more than that- every chance I get.

I took 600+ pics and about 30 mins of (epic) video. Stay tuned gentlemen...

I have vid from another angle but its not good at all as I wasn't ready for him to come flying through as I was hunting for focus(bad focus ring on the lens)...and I was standing on a hill and slipped in the dirt as he went off...

I happened to find an extra cable.

These are the small jpg files that my camera takes along with raw files. Easy and quick. So much win...

so much win...

I need to find a cheap AWD car and some local stuff like this. If not, I think it would be worth the 9-10 hour drive.

There's one next month in Utah! Check out coloradorallycross.org to see. I can't go, but you definitely should.

I'm jealous, sounds like fun!

I should bring the manwagon to one of these things.

The manwagon is perfect for this.

Oh I know, I went rallycrossing in it once a few years ago. Was fun but that event at least was like autocrossing in the amount of track time for your money and time. Sounds like things have changed for the better.

I raced last year, but the event was very disorganized. I had 3 re-runs in a row, because timing wasn't working. Then they had to revert to stopwatches for timing, which became frustrating. Has the organization improved, or could you tell?

[iamsam]

There was no timing this time, there was some semblance of order in the morning, then after that it was literally a free-for-all where you could run wherever you wanted whenever you wanted.

This is a national event at Miller Motorsports Park. My roommate rolled his WRX at this event last year.

As of now I don't think so. Diego is going though.
