    look under the padding on the inside for a sticker that has the wording Snell in some way and see if the date is 1995 or newer, or bring to the event and they will tell you yes or no in tech, loner helmets are avail. if yours is not rated correctly

    Sweetie, you called me out. I have already said, I am sure to be slow. But I will have fun :) Thankfully there is no passenger seat in the GTI, so no one will get to listen to me swearing ;) Then again, you may hear me from outside the car!

    As of Wednesday evening the course is usable. Erik's Honda CRV was able to negotiate around the field surface. He said that the vehicle sank a little, it was a little slick, but traction improved as it packed down.

    Tires will be king on Sunday!

    We will be monitoring the conditions. We will re-evaluate on Friday, and again on Saturday depending on the weather. I will be in contact with the landowner about the weather to determine if there needs to be any last-minute checks.

    I will try to keep everybody as up to date as possible.

    This is the word from the eventmaster. I was the one that went out and drove the field. It's slippery with street tires on the CRV. But I never got stuck. I was even able to drive up the south hill to the normal paddock area without sliding or spinning tires. I will be going down friday night to check out the conditions with this rain coming.

    Tim,

    It can apply to either one. Just let Mark (Mayhem83) or Carrie (Rallywife) know which one you want it to count towards and that will get it taken care of.

    Subaru003,

    Careful, you might get addicted!! Nearly anyone who has a car that can pass tech inspection (i.e. any mechanically sound vehicle that has a hardtop, no leaking fluids, battery securely held down, no loose objects in the interior, etc.) can run in rallycross. Let us know if you have any questions and we'd be glad to help you out.

    Here's the link to the rulebook. http://www.scca.com/documents/Rally Rules/2009rxr.pdf This lets you know what you can do for car prep and also outlines the rules governing rallycross.

    Wish I could make this one, but the money is super tight right now. And the Vikes are taking on the Packers. Good luck everyone, and I hope you get some good track conditions.

    Subaru003, you will become VERY addicted. It's not tough on your car, unless you want it to be. Snow tires are highly reccomended, and mudflaps if you want to protect your car. Also, don't forget about your numbers.
