So who is going? I've decided to go whether I participate or just spectate, but I wondered if anyone else from this side was planning on going. Here are the event details for anyone who didn't know or might be interested:

Rally Florida: Dedicated to Supporting the Motorsport of Rally in the State of Florida

Rally Cross Announcement July 23 @ PBIR (Old Moroso)

Finally!! Florida SCCA Rally Cross has just secured our next event for Saturday July 23rd 2011 at Palm Beach International Raceway. This is very exciting news because the event will be run on the ex moto cross course as well as another adjacent area which will make a nice and long dirt course. Complete rookie drivers to the pro's are welcome to join the fun. This is where you grab life by the horns so don't be nervous and dont be shy. If you have any questions just ask. Spend any time with rally people and you will see how laid back and cool they are.. A suitable helmet, drivers license, and a car is all you will need to enter. Car sharing is definately allowed and encouraged. PBIR is home to all forms of racing and now Rally Cross gets to join that list. Don't miss out on the first Rally event at the new PBIR. Entry fee should be around $40-$50 and is paid the morning of the event.

^haha yah i know i tell myself that. oh and trust me she has seen dirt before........a lot of it actually lol but i just try not to beat on it all the time. these cars are made amazingly well, but stuff does break lol

DarkBuddha

I've decided to go and participate. I got a rather magnanimous offer from a guy over on Pro-touring.com that is in Delray... basically said if I break the car or whatever, he's got a truck and trailer I can borrow, a garage to fix it in, a machine shop if needed, and even a spare room to crash in. All that from a guy I've never met or even held a one-on-one conversation with. How great is that?!?!!!

can i bring my Dale Ernhardt tribute crash-a-rama destruction car???

its ugly and offensive but its the only car i have thats allowed offroad

and i'll allow ANYONE to drive it. as long as i get enough seat time in it.

...or is this a serious competition and not just for fun???

psi_R170

holy crap....lucky sob lol hahaha

DarkBuddha

I don't know how "serious" it is, though I'm sure some will take it too seriously. I'm going just for fun and don't really expect to be competitive. But the best thing to do is contact the organizers. Based on what they say though, the events are designed to run regular street cars; I assume any car that isn't slammed would probably be okay to go. I'd sure as hell take that 300Z in your sig.

Yeah, no crap, right!?!!!

I'm looking forward to going... now I just need to actually get prepared.
