    yes, but not the way to think. We'll bring a trampoline for you to jump on...and as the co-driver I'll tell you how high to jump:cool:

    FRS radio, clear everything from the car and trunk (including floor mats), make sure you have a secure battery tie down, bring qualifying helmet

    any FRS radio. we'll typically be on channel 8, code 0

    and don't really run your tires at 20psi. i ran my winters at 40psi

    This sounds interesting.. to watch. My car is so new it's still under factory warranty. I'll have to wait and see what's happening for me that day.

    If I do make it, I could help flame some dogs. Is their any entry fee for non-competitors?

    Time for the Sara(h) mobile (AKA the boobaru) to make a showing at this event.

    Sara and Sarah (my wife and Dave's wife to be) will be running an 04 WRX. Add two to my total of those that have I've hooked on rallycross.:biggrin:

    This should be a fun event.

    I vote for Emily to cook hotdogs.

    And even if you don't run, you still get hooked and spend money, my new camera's a great example of that.

    My GF and i are gonna try to make it down and spectate, we have never really been to a rally meeting of any sort

    So its free for spectators.....do i have to sign the waiver at the event or is that something that needs to be taken care of in advance? Also, I know im the new guy, but are people meeting up and driving down in a subaru group? If so where are people meeting and what time.

    it is free and you must sign a waiver when you arrive.

    we typically caravan down. however, if you aren't racing the caravan leaves rather early (cars won't really hit the track until 11 or so and we leave to try and get down by 9). and when I say we, I mean everyone else since I'll be stage rallying saturday and am not coming to this event lol

    This thread doesn't tell me when and where you are meeting up for the drive down either.

    I'm interested in going, and I'll drive down alone if I have too but it's more fun in a group.

    Thank you everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Huge props to everyone that helped me make this a super fun time. I was very happy to see so many cars entered and tons of new people. The rally cross bug is spreading!!!:cool:

    Also, I'm glad everyone had fun with the course as it was definitely was challenging, especially with the dust!

    Special thanks to the Mark & Mary Utecht, the Carlson family, Erik Dahl, Kevin & Amanda, and everyone else that guided me through my first time as Event Master! I had soooo much fun!!!!

    Thanks! Anytime I can be the Event Master I will, it was great fun...and I learned a lot.

    However, next time I won't be an idiot and place myself at Start Control all day without sunscreen....Ouch! I'm now paying for that mistake:banghead::laugh:

    Thanks from me too to everyone that made the event possible and run as smoothly as it did. Sorry my rain dance missed, it was raining near my home West of Brainerd and not over Cannon Falls.
