Tax Brake RallyX and RallyX School - April 25th and 26th

I just spoke with Mark today and now that we have confirmation that we can use the land, both of these events are CONFIRMED. I will be updating this post with additional details as I get them.

The RallyX School will be held on Saturday, April 25th. The Tax Brake RallyX will be held on Sunday, April 26th. Both events will be held at the Cannon Falls location where the Treadin' Thin Ice RallyX was held. We do have an indoor location on the property to hold the school.

Directions from HWY 52:
Take the Cannon Falls exit and head WEST on HWY 19 for 3.5 miles.
Turn LEFT on 30th AVE and go .5 miles. Turn LEFT on 325th St. and go
approximately .6 miles. The driveway to the event is on the left
hand side. Please park on the left of the driveway. Regardless of
what other internet directions might say, DO NOT TAKE 40th AVE TO
GET TO THE EVENT. The landowner would like to keep traffic off of
that street.

Online Registration:
http://www.scca-lol.org/rally/rallyx/schedule.php
Online pre-registration is requested and strongly encouraged. It will make
day-of registration much easier.

Fees:
SCCA Members: $40.00
Non-SCCA Members*:$55.00

*Non-members are required to purchase an SCCA Weekend Membership for $15.00. The weekend membership can be used as a $15 discount on a full SCCA membership.

- All competitors and spectators must sign the official SCCA Waiver of
Liability.

- All minors present must have a minor waiver filled out.
Please download the registration and identification forms, and have
them filled out prior to the event.

- All forms are available on the LOL web site:
http://www.scca-lol.org/rally/rallyx/index.php

- All competitors MUST work the course as a condition of event entry.

- All competitors must have an FRS Radio, radios cannot be shared between competitors.

- All competitors must have a Snell 1995 or newer helmet. Loaner helmets are available but the quantity is limited.


Food & Gas:
Available in Cannon Falls, about 4 miles from the event site. As of now, plan on bringing your own lunch to both events. I am working on getting something set up for lunch as we have done in the past with MNSubaru but that is not yet confirmed.


Schedule:
TBA, but competitors should plan on being there around 9am for both events for tech inspection and registration. The schedule for the RallyX will be the same as with previous events, and Mark will post the schedule for the school.


Volunteers:
We have the necessary volunteers for tech inspection and safety stewards, but as always volunteers are needed to help work the course, be spotters for photographers, and in general help make sure everything runs smoothly. Volunteers will likely need to be there a little earlier than everyone else (around 8am) to go over safety information and plans for the day. Volunteers - please contact Mark Utecht (mayhem83) to let him know that you are interested in helping out and which day(s) you will be coming so that he can split up duties.

In addition, the LOL region needs our help! Currently, we only have 4 safety stewards in our region - Dennis, Kerry, Mark, and Brent. SCCA rules require that we have a safety steward on course at all times, which usually means that we actually need more than one so that we have someone to fill in while the safety steward is on course. The more safety stewards we have, the easier it will be to have MOAR RALLYX! :biggrin: One of the requirements for becoming a safety steward is that you "apprentice" for a day with an actual safety steward. Mark has said that either Saturday or Sunday would be a good chance to get in your "apprentice day". If you are interested in becoming certified as a safety steward, please contact me for further information.

Etc:
As I will be at both of these events earlier than most folks, I will leave organizing a caravan up to others. Please post in this thread if you are interested in caravaning to the event.

Let me know if you have any additional questions - hope to see you at the event!!

 

will maybe be there. will not be at the school for sure but I am hoping to make the rallyx on Sunday if things go as planned

 

what, if sunday falls after saturday!?



I'll be there if everything goes as planned.


Anyone want burnt Chili?:yumyum::laugh:

 

we have to see what our install schedule looks like - we may have enough extra prep work on the car that it isn't practical to race sunday. (of course you can in another car).

 

I think we've pretty much figured out you can't compete anyways

 

damn typo changes everything...fixt

 

so if you are a safty steward you can still race right? if so then I would be interested in. also quick question, if i already registered for the school (but havent paid) and got my SCCA membership after i registered can i just pay the SCCA amount?

 

registered for both events! cant wait I moved to pa now ftw!

 

i bet you'd be much faster/cleaner in a slower car. You have solid driving skills, mucho better then me. That STI has too much power....some would say.

 

i will be there both days, not sure if i am going to compete though... in all seriousness, anyone running a lower powered car (stock to lightly modded wrx, or 2.5rs) want to let me drive it? and maybe for the rest of the season?

Pm me if you would like

 

You had your shot at the Tleg but Brent beat you to it. Now he gets to sit in the ribcrusher all season.

 

L. O. L. :laugh:

you better be there both days - you're doing tech inspection! and as to your question...

yes, if you are a safety steward you can still race, there just has to be a back-up steward who is not in your run group to watch the course while you are driving. to answer sheen's question, yes you can still participate in class and race while apprenticing. it will be up to mark u and kerry and brent as to how they want to work out the details (ie: on saturday or sunday, or maybe a little bit of both, etc.) tim, shoot me a PM with your email addy and i will forward you the info. sheen, check your inbox.

basically, first you'll go over what the duties of a steward are and there will be a pre-event review of the safety forms with the steward and you will walk the course with them. you should also be keeping an eye on the course throughout the day as an assistant to the safety steward. the final phase is that you serve as the safety steward at an event under the guidance of a steward and if at the end of the day they feel you are ready to handle an event alone, they will submit a license application. it's pretty painless, and just because you get licensed does not mean that you will be required to steward, but the more people we have certified the better!

or some would say you're just a sissy

check 08 sti tuning thread, i think i've narrowed it down a bit more

 

Weeee, paid.

You can only make use of the power you can get to the ground. It sort of makes things very dependent upon the course layout and grip levels. I'm noticeably hindered in auto-x but in rally-x, I really don't feel that way running NA, not to a great enough extent to ever be non-competitive.

Unless you can always break all 4 tires lose at any given time, you don't have more then enough power. :laugh:

 

ok bump were a week away and this thread is only 2 pages long where is everyone and where is all the smack talk!!!!! IM going to own you all next weekend, pa watch out here I come! anyone planning on cruising up together as a group, shall we post a caravan thread?

 

bump whos going to beat me!!!?

 

Jesus will. He will spank you SO hard!

I'm just going to go vroom vroom and be like weeee!!!

 

:ugh::eek3:

 

bumo..I keep having to pump it! come on people..guess im the only one excited

 

I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it.


I'll be there to watch!

ShUt uP YoU FGT! ps zack morris was hot!

 

i see rain in the forcast.... keep your fingers crossed it skips over

 

I told you to keep your rain talk to yourself that's it im on my way over to kick you..

 

who cares? it's a rallycross, not a garden party

 

yes it is!!!!! LOL..:laugh: I want tea with my burnt hotdog and chilli in the garden..

 

i was thinking more of a bummer for the saterday but i guess we do have an indoor spot now right... YlimeAndSalt i command you to organize a cruz thread... now!

 

LOL...:laugh: will do!

 

O.k., I'll stop doing my rain dance. It's an awfully nice equalizer though...

With the field thawed out by now it would be an awfull mess anyway and make for squishy shoes. Not the nice solid ice we had last event.

Amy

 

I really hope for no rain, since I have no windows.

 

I'm pretty sure a windshield and windows are required even in the M4/2 classes. A window net may get you by but if I read the rules correctly windows can be replaced with lexan but it doesn't mention being able to remove them.

 

deja vu :laugh:

That kind of talk makes me want to buy some serious off road tires.

 

From the Rally Modified class:

Side and rear windows may be removed or replaced with Lexan
or equivalent. Windshield may be replaced with Lexan or equivalent with addition of a full roll cage built to SCCA Improved Touring
specifications or better.

I'll be out there in the morning on both days but won't be able to stay long.

Rain or shine, it's rallycross time!!

 

6. Glass, with the exception of the front windshield, may be replaced with
lexan or equivalent.

Eric, you would know the current rules better than I would. Are the rules posted not current or am I missing something?

I'm not trying to pick on anyone I'm just curious.

 

dan the rulebook states exactly what eric typed. make sure you are in the 2009 rulebook

 

Ah ha! I clicked on the "rules" link on the registration page. It links you to the 2008 rulebook. Thanks Carl.

 

I do have a windshield, or at least am heading out to pick it up today. The rules changed in 09 to allow side/rear window removal.

There are a few links on teh SCCA-LOL site that are outdated or broken. There are 2 links to the rally-x rules, one goes to 08 book, and the other goes to the 09 version.

 

OK Here's the deal, we have only 6 registered entrants for the school and 12 for the RallyCross. That is just not enough to cover expenses. Please register now if you are intending to attend. I think we will get enough entrants for the event on Sunday but we need WAY more than 6 to go through the effort of putting on the school on Saturday.
