SCCA LOL Rally Cross- July 25th Isanti County Fairgrounds

[

sounds good, there's
1. a rest stop right after the merge
2. BP at next exit
3. Holiday/SA + Food at 2nd exit (McDs and BK prolly be the only ones open)
should set up a departure time so late comers don't wait

yeah yeah, i know. you didn't show to the last 2 so i thought i'd have a chance....

 

Keep the registration coming people!!! This is a "can't miss" event!

also, for those of you that mentioned camping...they are full. However, if someone really wants to pitch a tent Saturday night (insert laugh here)...they will make room for you. just let me know and I'll make the arrangements for ya!

 

camping would be awesome hahah! I will be singing up this weekend as I am not sure whos car I am co driving. the wagon is done for the season lol.

 

Hey monkey, sorry to say but the post was reported so it has to go. You could put it in the FS section though.

 

Got paid today! signed up and cant wait!! I will start a caravan thread early next week.

 

Who wants to front my registration fee? LOL.

I forgot the full bet, but I think I said $20 if you beat me and $40 if you win it, you pay entry if I beat you. Or at least that's what I'm willing to put up.

 

signed up and paid also! wahoo for my first rally cross!

if it does i have a few people that can probably tow you

 

If I recall from my Crown Induced rant I think we each threw in 20 bucks on the bet.. or maybe that was a side bet... but either way you better race ran... because this is not autocross THIS IS DIRT MTHFKR!

 

Since I'm manning the PA (lulz) please fill this out and bring it with you....otherwise I'll make **** up about you!:laugh:

OR you can email them to [email protected]

 

no...cause I'm not printing them out. I'd have to check facebook, special stage, and mnsubaru, scca-lol.....

print it or email to carrie

 

Why yes, this is Match dot com and we will make sure that Dave talkes about how you like Sunsets, long walks on the beach and a good bottle of wine.


It was fun watching Dan get stuck. but sad that Sara is the one who shoveled the Jeep out...

 

Signed up and paid. Good times will be had.

Why does no one else remember that day the way I do?
Sara was driving when the Jeep got stuck. I laughed and gave her a hug. Then I made her a cup of hot cocoa and told her to sit in the warm Jeep while i dug us out. All with a big smile on my face because my wife is so wonderful.

Emailed to Carrie. And registered and paid!

 

Good times coming soon!!!! Make sure you're signed up and paid by Friday at 5PM!!!!!!!!!!

 

couple more days to sign up!!! already have 20 competitors!!!! Let's get to 30!!

 

I'm guessing with only 20 people we are going to be working or driving, no rest heats?

 

No rest heats? I've never heard of that....

 

It's been a while, I don't remember how you guys run the events.

Mac does 4 heats, you drive in two and typically work one of the others, resting on the fourth.

 

Oh....we don't do that in Rally Cross as the events are a bit more low key than Auto-X. Or I should say not as intense....not as much going on....so we all simply take turns working or competing

 

Hopefully I'm healed by then I had a minor mishap involving a dirt bike and some asphalt.

 

there's also 150 drivers at those events and working one heat ends up being longer than working all the heats in rallyx. And working 3 seperate heats is much better than running 1 looooooooooong heat.

math time!
150 drivers x 6 runs = (900 runs + reruns) * 1/4 (working 1 of 4 heats) = ~225 cars drive by

50 drivers x 6 runs = (300 runs + reruns) * 1/2 (working half, running half) = ~150 cars drive by

Final note: this isn't autox, this is dirt mother F***er

 

going to have to try and make the next one.

Please continue to post them up as the time for them draws near.

Thanks - Jon

 

Next one is dog daze Aug 8th

 

singed up!! co driving brains car!

 

^ anyone want to guess what's going to break on Brian's car.

 

What's the word with the caravan headingbup in the morning? I'll come hang out and watch

 

Emily's rib?

 

You should talk.

Not sure yet, but I'm down for it. I think we were planning to meet-up in Forest Lake somewheres right on 35.

 

That'll work. What time should we be in forest lake and depart by?

 

hahahaha!!!! maybe...but that requires going fast enough to actually break something.

 

Just signed up. Going to be awesome. Can some one bring an extra Y-pipe for a wrx with? ;-)

 

I hear theres talk about going up.sat night and camping, anybody else want to do that?

 

If anyone has decent tires+wheels that I can borrow to run in M4, I would highly appreciate it. I know it's a long shot, but I did hear that some people have spare winters and/or rally tires. 5x100 pattern with 2-pot WRX calipers, and I can throw some cash your way. All I have now is mediocre A/S, which will surely be FTL.

From what I have found is there are two campgrounds around 8-11 miles away. One near Rush City on the lake another is a little west. Neither show prices.

more info pleeeease! I've got a family reunion this weekend and today was the first time my subaru actually moved in like the past 6 months. I think I'll beat it up good and be ready in August. I'd love to watch and meet some of you guys, but alas...family reunion

Apparently springvale is seasonal only then rushmore looks to be RV only...

This means Mora which is 24 miles north or Isanti 10 miles south.

Isanti $28/ Night (Tent)This one states 2 day minimum stay on weekends... not sure if we could talk them out of this for the night or not.

Mora $28/ Night (Tent)

Thoughts?

 

That doesn't sound very good. Isn't it the season to go camping now? I really just want to pitch a tent on the course, that would be awesome.
