Rallycross..

[Briancembor@aol.com]

Well, did my first rallycross yesterday...

let me tell you, that was some the best fun i've had
with my clothes on! i have to say, way more fun that
an a autox, and i love autoxing!

event site was in Resaca, GA which is about 35m S
of the Tenn/GA border. it was a *huge* field below
a motocross track. the course was very twisty with
some slight elevation change and 2 almost 3 very
fast straights (as in near redline 2nd gear). i
was running in Production Street class (street tires)
so i was using my Falken Ziex ZE-512s at 50psi
front and 45psi rear. i choose these over my
Azenis as they had more tread and a little more
*knobby* than the Azenis. we got six runs divided
into 2 sessions. i love this car in the dirt! i have
done lots of gravle road driving and love getting
the rear loose so this was even better as i could push higher speeds.

On my 3rd run i knocked the cat conv pretty hard and
created about a 1/16th" gap between the front flanges.
on my 5th run i lost one of the 2 front bolts altogether
and only had about 3 turns left on the nut before i lost
the other bolt and rear exhaust section completely! so i
retired. dusty and happy. i have to get another bolt at
work to today and reattach. this time i using a flex lock
and possibly some Loctite.

anywho... i HIGHLY recommend rallycrossing if you have it
in your area!
