This is true. I'm just waiting for the day they finally get some good tires.

I was talking to Riggs III and it sounds like that day will come in Lovelock. He used the word Hoosier.

Good try on the make up event Matt !

AAAh no one checked to see if there would be conflict of the LoveLock autoX and the thunder hill Rally Cross. *try to take lightly*

I do hear they make some SICK courses out there!

I don't consider that a conflict. Besides, I reserved that date back in February before SFR solo OR rally-x knew what they were doing. So they can plan around us.

You can make safe courses there, but I wouldn't drive 3 hours to drive on one, on that surface.

Except that shitty surface doesn't vanish into thin air afterwards.

I was going to hit up that AutoX , but then I read about the RallyX event.

Yep lots O anger wrxKid, but how else do you use the dark side of the force ?

Oh yeah and i rolled over at the Rally X ...


Rolled over laughing with Joy event went well, no injuries, one guy popped a bead on a tire. The course was really really long. the fastest time of the day was a 1:47 In a Dirt prepped STI on rally tires. Tein coil overs (think he said something about gravel spec? or maybe thats what his springs are)

Yep, as well as tarmac stuff, TEIN makes "gravel specific" suspension.
