Rallycross!!

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...

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?

Figure some of that is wheelslip and bad diff reading, and the remainder bad course design. Buddy who rolled his WRX hit 75-80mph on the course, which was waaaaaaaaay too high for the event per their regs.

total cost: $80

Don't forget the cost of the can of pink Rhino Liner you have to use on there.

very interested...

Also, this may interest you, total cost: $80, that is with doing your own cutting/grinding, so for the steel and the bending, it was about $80. However, I hear it can be bought cheaper, I have been told by a reputable source that I overpaid.

I should have taken pics of the fab process, but we made a pretty wicked skidplate, much tougher than those pansy raceskids.com skidplates!! ;)

H&R Races? You still have an oil pan? haha

^^^ dirt monster, eh?

Yeah the H&R races made sure my wheels weren't touching the ground most of the time, and the video makes it look like I was creeping along, but it sure seemed a heck of a lot faster in the car! I would guess my average speed might be 40-ish mph. Well, at least the average speed of the rear wheels anyway!

Here's an in-car vid of Sam in the E30, to prove it wasn't all a setup. I blame his suspension for my crappy camera work.

1. Looks fun!
2. Lol at H&R Races
3. Awesome band-aid on the dash!


Looks like I have a reason to keep the Jeep.

Can we bring this to the southeast?

I can't find anything like this around here :(

No LSD FTW in a dust kicking competition. And I'd like to point out that even though I flew off the track at 65 (probably 70, actually) I was never out of control of the vehicle. If I'd done that in anything but a Jeep, though... it would have been hairy. It probably would have totalled Sam's car.
