***Blazin Sun Rallycross - July 29th - Cannon Falls!***

Ahh, I see my problem,. I was looking at the specs for the 2001 Swift, not the 1989. I think I managed to mix up the year with the Hyundai when I was doing the search. 100 hp with a stock curb weight of just under 1800 lbs with everything in it. Not bad at 18lbs/hp.

 

9 entries so far, bump for people to sign up before tomorrow night when registration closes.

 

Exactly, but reverse that order of importance...driver skill, tires, weight.

 

Yeah, driver is definitely #1. Sign up TMF!

 

I'd rank it:

1. driver
2. weight
3. suspension
4. tires

With 3&4 being very close.

 

Never thought I'd read that someone preferred the POS system I cobbled together years back! The new system has worked well for me, especially with regards to credits.

 

Nope, I have nothing to do with the new system, I think you'd need to talk to Mark U or Carrie.

 

Josh, I'll look into that with Carrie.

As for mud, I think it's gonna be dusty, unless we get more rain. Just talked to the owner today, and he said the land is looking pretty good. Like Mark said though, too much mud, and it becomes not so fun (that particular surface gets real slick).

Less than 24 hours to sign up early without having to pay the late penalty! We need at least 15 signed up by tomorrow night!

 

Skid plate is mounted and I am registered! Cant wait to play in the dirt again.

I might be bringing some first time spectators down. Hopefully I can get them hooked ;-)

 

not enough registered ..hope it doesn't get canceled.

 

Just registered. Nothing like last minute!

 

Anyone know the situation?.. I was on the fence about taking part and decided to just watch/take photos, but if me registering is the difference between it happening and not, I'll sign up now...

 

The deadline on the site has been chaned from 5pm to 11:59pm, so you can still get your registration in. Someone get us to 15!

 

little less than 3 hours..come one people.

 

Done, we have a rallycross.

I'm not a hero, I'm just doing my job.

 

Looks like there are 15 registered... Thought I was gonna be rallying the g-wagon...

 

I'm in to beat on some one else's car

Thanks Jesse

 

Rally rally rally!!!!!

 

You should still come out and rally the wagon, more weight in the back to help you rotate

 

Well u see, I really just don't want to come out there for the first time with my stock '84 GL wagon and show such fantastic times that I take away the glory from everyone else... I mean, have u ever seen tangledupinblu cry?.. Not a pretty sight, his mascara starts running everywhere... Lol. No, but fer reals, the wagon will run the track eventually but she's not quite up to it yet. Still needs some kinks worked out here and there before I put that kinda stress on her. She is my daily driver and I can't afford to have her non-operational. But she will be making the trip to see the festivities first hand. ;-)

 

What does Sheen know about Subarus?! ;-) I agree with him... For the moment. It will rally... eventually... I think the hardest part to find for the car is a stereo wiring harness diagram. Lol

 

Here's all the parts you need..

Aw snap! You know, if my MacBook logic board hadn't just crapped out I'd prolly have to buy it. Although it should be mentioned that a lot of the parts are not really interchangeable. Different engine, slightly different body and such. But man!, low milage on that one...

 

Sorry I can't make it out to this one. I'm still tinkering with the Swift to have it ready for the Ojibwe rally coming up in a month. Not to mention a little down time with the family will be nice.

 

Anyone heading down from st Paul or Minneapolis that wants to cruise down?

 

ya I won't be going down that early the earliest I can be down to the cities it prob about ten so if your bro wants to meet up then that would be sweet

 

thanks Bro

 

Thanks everyone that convinced me to come out today. I had a blast!

 

Thanks to everyone who helped put this on today! what a blast in my new car..I cant wait to get more experience in it. I am getting better and better and cant wait to see where I can go.

 

I had a great time too guys. First time out and it was way better then I had ever thought it would be. Nice to meet everyone

Great day at the rallyx today, thanks to everyone who came out even with the little bit of rain in the morning, and a special thanks to all the organizers for volunteering their time to make the event happen

 

I was pretty worried when I left the house this morning, with all the rain. But as soon as we got to Cannon Falls, it suddenly stopped. And the course held up great, with very little needing to be changed. It was really awesome seeing all the new people out and how much they loved it! Everything went extremely smooth, except maybe for The Plumber trying to take out some course workers .

Can't wait for the next one, and it's coming up fast! August 11th at the same site. Stay tuned for details to be posted soon (Mr. Storlie, I'm looking at you)!

Also, I got some good GoPro footage if some of the media guys out there want it to splice in with what they have. Excited to see the photos everyone got! I saw at least 3 photog people out there. Post up pics here or in a separate thread in the "Photo/Video" forum and link to it here.

 

I really need to make one of these this year.

 

I have a few videos of other's post up your car number and I'll see if I got footage of you.

 

Do you have anything of car #428?

 

Or car 60 the multi colored fried egg looking Subaru
