RallyX this weekend
#1
There is a RallyX this weekend in Orange, VA (not too far from JMU)
Im thinking of going to either run or watch. Anyone interested in driving or watching?


ps- this is the one kind of racing where your cheapass allseason tires actually do well at!

Explain more. Isn't RallyX like AutoX but on grass? How much will it cost to enter, what days times are we talking about.

I'm down to drive in it if you can answer all of those questions.

Depending on how far it is I'd be willing to go watch.

edit: 45 miles on 33E followed by 12 miles north. I'm still not sure I wanna drive that far just to spectate. If I get my muffler on I'll probably be more willing. Will let ya know.

Rallyx is more like autox on dirt. If there is grass on the course I cant imagine it will stay there long. I think its $40 to run. I could be wrong there.

I would be willing to watch (depending on school work)
I would be willing to run (depending on cash flow)

ps i have my "suck at autox" all seasons on :twisted:

$40, 4+ runs on a very nice rallyX course. Most rallyXes are just in a big field, but this is a groomed and maintained purpose built rallyx track.

Uh, on second thought 40 bucks is out of my price range right now. If anyone is rolling out from JMU I'll roll out as well to spectate, but I don't have scrilla like that on me.

Rocks that will chip paint?
Trees to hit off course?

Dont bring a showcar. It isnt that hard on the car, but there may be a scratch or 2.
There are some immovable objects close to the course, but shouldnt be a problem if you drive within your limits.

Ultimately, its not as safe as autox.

Sure Mike... Can you bring the helmets. The woman wants to come along too so I still have one seat open if anyone wants to go.

The event is about an 1 and a half from JMU (according to map quest) so we will have to leave pretty early.

Ps I sent my money in already Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin
