@irish44j,
OK, I hear everything you are saying. And I'm not giving up on rally. I had an absolute blast out at the Rally Ready facility. Loved the vibe. In a lot of ways it seemed very similar to the MTB scene I've raced in off and on over a long time, i.e. pretty chill.
I am a total newbie to racing cars. I'm not new to racing in general, done that in sailboats since a kid and bikes (road and mtb) for the last like 18 years. But cars? nada. I need to maximize seat time in racing scenarios in the near term as much as possible. For that I can race once a month in Miata's at track 30 mins from house in a field of 20+ and chump at least 4 times a year all within 2-3 hour or less drive.
The lack of rally events near me is a real issue. I've been in niche sports that required a lot of travel to compete forever, and right now just don't have the desire to do multi-day travel...yet...in the meantime i'll figure out a way to participate at the one or two events that are being talked about at the RR facility and pile on the seat time.
I'm hanging up the power meter and the zipp's after a long, long time to start down this path so i'll figure all this out sooner or later :)
In the meantime, I'm having a lot of fun working on the car! (and referring to your thread to keep me from doing a lot of stupid things...heh...)
