Rallycross!!

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).;)

Yeah, it's colorado....

Yeah, it's Mike....

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've been the last 3 years. Awesome stuff.

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?

I kind of want to keep the e30 on pavement. So I was wondering if any of you seen any older land rovers at these events?

I was thinking a beat up 89-92 range rover would be good because they're pretty cheap, AWD, coil sprung, and damn near indestructible. And the sound of an aluminum V8 at 5-6k doesn't hurt either.

You don't ever see anything other than Subarus.

And rally E30s are bad-ass.

Was the road washboarded at all? I am totally doing this in my Jeep next time around!

I have seen them run these in MDR/SCORE offroad racing. A friend of mine was a tech at a dealer in anaheim,ca and they had a 90 RR sponsored by that dealer.

No, washboarding wasn't a problem on the track at all. It seems washboard doesn't form when you are spinning tires 100% of the time.

Usually washboard free but large ruts do develop.

I agree, I should have said I want to keep my e30 on the pavement. And I want an old Range Rover anyway. there are too many trails near my house to not have a 4x4.

I probably should have been worried, but all I remember is thinking "uh-oh" and then hearing SLAM, SLAM, BANG, SLAM from my poor old suspension as I careened across the ditches and berms.

Why yes, I am pretty bitchin' in person.

You live in NM and own a jeep...so how is the off-roading down there? I'm going to be going to college down there and off-roading looks fun...
