it's done, all the prep work and the route is finalized. Damn Hernando county decided to RE-grade my favorite road on the course so we lost about 6 miles of twisty turny dirt. (I'll use it next year) however there is still plenty to keep even the subaru's happy. 9 spots remain for walkup registration so if anyone was considering walking up get there early. the timing and positioning is based on a 40 car turnout. we can have less then 40 but no more. registration opens at 1:00 on the dot and closes at 2:30 no exceptions.

 

If anyone wants to copilot with me while I man a few checkpoints, lemme know.

 

Jeff, can you reveal any sort of road type information? Like 50% gravel/dirt, etc? I'm trying to decide which tyres to run and I would prefer to not leave chance of getting stuck in some sand if at all possible.

 

I had to leave the soft sand out. although your rally tires will not be wasted, it's still ~45% unpaved.... and after awards I can take you back to the real roads and give you a little lesson in why rally experience is better then AWD. and school your arse with my FWD car on RE01R's

Thanks for the update. We're looking forward to it and hoping for good weather so that we don't get stuck. This is one event I don't think we're going to clean the car for.

 

should i be prepared to get stuck, you said you leave the soft sand out

i'm not worried about getting stuck, i just don't want to have to get out of
the car and dig my ass out

would smaller wheels and bigger tires help, i'm running on my ricer 17s with a 40 sidewall right now

 

There is nowhere you aree going to get stuck unless you drive off the road.

 

Bear in mind that the only times I really get to go shred some gravel is the 3 or 4 times a year I go to the NC mountains. Sometimes I think I live in the wrong part of the country.

That said, I am looking forward to this weekend.



Yes, I wasted post #1000 on that crap.
