Dog Daze of Summer RallyCross - NATIONAL CHALLENGE event (Saturday Aug 7)

Questions:

- The new No passengers rule. Can we still have co-driver sit in the car during your run? or does it only apply to non-driver?
- Contingency program: it said 3 decals are required, can we get them at the event?

Thanks and see ya all out there this Saturday!

 

No passenger means nobody in the car besides driver.

contingency program- No...Not available at event. Please see previous post...it's all done through national SCCA office and should've been ordered last week.

 

Got it!

 

Tim and I have our stickers and are ready to rock them! Tim's car looks like it's fully sponsored by everyone. He just needs Roto Rooter on there now to make it complete.

 

and don't forget a large plumbers crack on the trunk

 

I signed up! First rally for me :disco:

 

Please explain this for me: "Parade lap: immediately preceding each groups first run"

 

Put-put around the track with everyone in your group to get a feel of how the course is laid out. No faster then 5 mph.

 

Registered! Now, to find some big vent covers to avoid applying Subaru stickers directly to body...

 

one thing you can do is stick the stickers on a towel (or some other "linty" fabric) first to get them to be less sticky and then put them on the car. they will last the whole day and be much easier to get off.

 

Just a reminder that pre-registration closes at 5:00 tomorrow night. Save yourself $10 and pre-register and prepay. There will be a $10 fee to pay at the event.

 

How does the numbering work? Do I just pic a number and slap it on the doors or what? And are we gunna be limited to 2 digets?

Also, is there still a need for people to help prep the track Friday?

 

yes one or two digit numbers only please. you can choose any number as long as it is not used by someone who has reserved it for the year, or is preceded by a zero (01, 02, 03, ect...)

 

Awesome idea! I'll have to do this.

 

or put the stickers on top of painters tape

 

signed up!!!!


RALLY RALLY RALLY!!!

 

Just found out one of the 2 long bolts that runs through the starter was sheered off. I've owned the car for almost 2 years now and I've never touched those bolts on the starter, but I just happened to notice a bolt sticking out like 3 inches when I was checkin things out tonight. Soooo I'm going to maybe try to get the bolt out tomorrow, or just replace the whole starter. Either way, I'm gunna do my best to register tomorrow afternoon!

 

good luck. i am about to go shake the cobwebs of my legacy turbo and decide if it is ready for a 3 hour trip to the cities for saome slideways fun. if not i will be rocking the autotragic impreza underwagon.

 

Jim and I are setting the course up tonight.
If anyone would like to help, we could use some between about 7-9.

Email or call me if you can make it.

brent, are your kids going to be there tomorrow? i am bringing my girls (6 and 8) with this time.

 

Wish I could help, but gotta work until 9ish. Otherwise, I'd be totally down for helping.

 

I was actually just trying to figure something out but being hung over at work right now isn't working out well. Seems like some where with food or coffee will be in our best interest.

 

i have drinkin mate that i can hand out to you guys im not sure how it works after drinking but i know if you take it before you will not have a hangover

 

Yes they will be there. Noah is 7 and Ellie is 5 in 12 days.

 

actually I can do that if you want I have the goods sitting in front of me PM me your number and I let you know when I'm driving past on my way home(Gotta get home fast tho I have new goodies to install)

 

great. have there been many other kids there in recent years? my kids have been to a lot of rallyxes but it has been a couple years.

i will be coming in my 93 impreza wagon. it is stock, however it currently has a set of nokian WR all seasons on it in 15" the car was eqipped OE with 13" wheels. so i assume that i would be in PA.

registered and payment recieved. see you all in the morning. time to go clean out the car!

 

Um what class would my stock 98 2.5rs be in??? What class is "class slow"? lol

edit: just gunna go with unspecified I guess.

Success!

 

Here is the rule for the Stock Class...

So, not so much the wheel size, but the overall size.

 

ok, read that as they must be 13" if the car came with 13". the nokians are quite a bit wider than the stockers. sounds like PA for sure.

 

i think you should be in SA.

 

i have the minor waivers printed out (in color) and i have them signed by me. mt wife isnt going to be there. does she need to sign it too?

printed out my registration/tech sheet to so it will be filled out ahead of time. i am driving in from fargo sat am so i will get there before 10 but it will be close.

 

No caravan for me. I'll be stayin over in Coon Rapids tonight at a house party. But I'm definitely gonna try out those hangover pills. I always forget too!

See everyone in the morning!

 

A few besides the Carlsons, but not that many. I dragged Adam to one of the "school" events a couple of years back and he still will talk about it from time to time. I'm not competing tomorrow, but if I get the work I need to do out of the way early enough, I'm going to try to bring him out to watch tomorrow (he's 5). Maya (1) is likely not coming along, but who knows?

 

goody that there will be other kids there. i talked my wife into coming to this one so we gotta bring our kids (boys, 7 and 1). hope they all get along and have as much fun as we do!

with the weekend membership you're not saving any money. you're still paying $85 for you membership in total. if you go all season on just weekend memberships for just rallyx it's a total of $120 for the "memberships". plus you get stuff for being a member! mags, i think i got a few decals and a patch. totally worth the membership. if you think bout it after the little things you get you prolly only pay $50 for the membership, almost a 3rd on the weekend price

 

plus you cant be an event chair without being a member if i recall correctly.

 

too late, i went with unspecified. What does SA mean? I'd kinda like to get into a "newb" class since I've never even watched a rallycross in person before :/ Forgive me ahead of time for my newbishness

My only reason for wanting to just do a weekend membership is because I don't know how many other rallycross events I'll be able to make. I figure I'll give one a try before I fully commit

 

yes you can not. if you're not a member you can't do anything. no chair, no stewart, no tech.

SA is stock front. selectin "unspecified" is just not selecting a class and they'll figure it out in tech based on your mods.
sa = stock
pa = prepared awd (light mods, intake/exhaust)\
M4 = modified 4wd (weight reduction, tune, boosting)

biggest thing that'll bump you into modfied from even stock is weight reduction. at our first event this year there was a kid that brought a VW he just bought. sh** was STOCK. but during tech they found his rear seat wasn't secured so he had to take it out.... weight reduction = modified. taking anything out would do it. i was told taking out your spare tire doesn't count as reduction


IIRC

 

will it get cancelled for rain???? can someone give me a call if it does? we'll be on the road in a few mins
(# deleted)

 

Thanks for the description of the classes. I figured I'd leave it up to the tech guys to tell me exactly what I'm in (assuming SA unless they think my catback makes my na faster lol). I've got your number written down, so I'll let you know if anything comes up.

 

That was bar none one of the best rallyx I've done. You could just hammer your car and not feel like you were abusing it. What an awesome venue. I had to leave early (prior to fun runs) so I don't know how it netted out. But my best run was a clean 38.3xx in the SA (stock) LGT.

 

I forgot how sweet that venue is. Great flowing track today. Thanks to everyone that worked so hard to make it happen.
Sorry to all of you that got stomped by the Grand Cherokee. Lol

 

I'm really hoping I didn't.

 

I know this is waaay too late to help in this situation, but for future reference:

RallyCross runs rain or shine, snow or sleet. We've held them in ice storms, and blizzards with horizontal snow (sometimes in the same day!).

We do have to cancel or halt them if a storm with lightning happens (due to insurance requirements), or if the weather is causing the surface to become dangerous (some sites will rut up enormously if they get really wet).

Corcoran really would be best with a very light, consistent rain. It would eliminate watering between runs and keep the course even for everyone. But since we tend to run there right about this time of the year, it's almost unfailingly blazingly hot and the sun just bakes you. Plus, the site has some amazing drainage, and you can have storms for days leading up to an event there and till have dust by lunchtime.
