I think WRC should come to the USA in colorado and run the rally there and make pikes peak a special stage. What do you think?

Must have been bitchin in person. I know this is a stupid question,have you seen the pikes peak hill climb before?

I've been the last 3 years. Awesome stuff.

I actually haven't. I missed it last year, and I lived in MD before that. Most other people on this regional forum has seen it, and a buddy of mine is actually racing in it next year.

I was just saying that jeeps like that are more common in MDR/SCORE racing out here on the west coast. Its just different seeing a jeep driving on a course like that,that fast. It is a high center of gravity type vehicle(i thought he was going to roll over in the video).;)

hah! you should have seen it in person! I thought the jeep was going to explode! It held together nicely though, only one of his rally lights fell off.

Yeah, it's Mike....

fixed...

Who is talking about it? We raced at the course at CORE that is pictured in the first post. Is that the rally sprint course you are talking about Clark? Because we did rallycross in the morning, and then we ditched that and raced on the long track all afternoon, which was WAY more awesome than rallycross.

Yes it is the course I'm talking about. Rally-X courses are designed to limit speed to 60 give or take 10 mph.

Yeah, Rally Circuit >>>>> Rallycross

You guys must be talking about the rally sprint course at CORE. This course was designed to mimic a very short stage rally and not rally cross. I have seen full rally prepped open class cars (Mitch's STi from Checkpoint Racing) hit over 110 on the straits on this course.

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.

70MPH? That seems faster than most courses are "supposed" to be. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's fun, but The upper design limit of most of what I've been on seems to be around 50ish. Perhaps some gates are in order for the fast sections?

yeah, I agree that 70 mph is a bit excessive, but it was done, and mike went off the track and almost rolled his jeep! So I guess that attests to that fact! I only probably hit 50, i'm not as crazy as mike.

Looks like it was fun...kinda wish I could have driven my truck around that, but a 3/4 ton pick up probably wouldn't be the most entertaining thing to drive around a rallycross track...

it was amusing in GT4.
