gotta check some schedule stuff, but i want to do another one of these 
the last one was a blast. probably means pulling my coilovers off though. i don't know how ultra stiff tein's will do on dirt.

I don't think I'd do a rallycross on coilovers. Especially if it's the 240 in your sig. My stock suspension 240 was pushing the limits on ground clearance and compliance when I ran last year. Actually, the afternoon run session- after rally tire and big power AWD guys ripped it up- was so rough I felt it was OVER the limit, as I started bottoming hard in the ruts. I gave up trying to drive faster and started driving way outside the lines to avoid the rutted areas. The surface was fine in the morning, though.
The guy next to me in the pits had a WRX fairly slammed on stiff coilovers and he gave it two or three runs on the smoother morning surface before calling it quits and leaving. He said it was so rough he felt like he was going to pound a coilover through his strut tower. Sort of another data point against running the event in a stiff lowered car.

It's good to see that the entry list for this is almost at the 20 mark. Hopefully we get 25 or so entries this time. If you have never tried rallycross and have ever thought you wanted to, this is the event to show up to. Lots of seat time, great weather, full facility use. It's sure to be a great time.
