I should be up there running my beater aveoChiketkd wrote:I have an interest. I should be doing my first RallyX event in about 3 weeks in a friend's FC RX-7 which runs in the M2 class with the DC region.
I don't have a dedicated rallyX car yet, but my friend is always up for a good event and I could always co-drive.
. I met Katie and Moxnix (that's his nasioc name, not sure his real name 
) at the driver's school back in september. Glad to hear they've gotten the rx-7 back in working order after the exhaust fell off 
Yup, those are my friends...and btw Moxnix's name is Shawn. My current plan is to attend the final WDCR rallyX at Summit Point in mid November. If you're able to make it, be sure to introduce yourself.mwalters wrote:I met Katie and Moxnix (that's his nasioc name, not sure his real name
Hope to see you up there, the summit point venue is a blast!
Yeah, I was aware of the trouble you had at Oak Ridge, unfortunately I don't think that type of situation is too uncommon. WDCR used to use Oakland Acres out in Orange, Va, but they apparently had a falling out with the land owner. I'm still looking to find the land owner's contact info, maybe a new face would prompt a change of hearttac911t wrote:The BRR RallyX was in April 2001 (or 2002) in Nelson County at the Oak Ridge Farm. The Farm that hosted Camp Jeep for several years. We held the event on one of their fields, and it rained all day. Even in the rain it was a fun event. Their field got torn up bad; part of the event deal was that we would pay for use of the field and to reseed. I called them after the event to have them send us a bill, but we never got one. Not sure the wife liked what we were doing, but the husband did (he came by during the event to visit and talk).
The DC Region hosted an event in Waynesboro in December 2000 at a fair ground off of I64 (gravel lot). I don't remember the name, but you can see it from I64. It is an exit or two west from the main Waynesboro exit (the one with the Ntelos building). The exit has a McDonalds and the road leading to the fair grounds has some truck repair shops.
. I haven't been there in a while, but I need to head up to the Rockingham county fairgrounds and see if they might have anything we could use.
Yeah I checked out the government center a couple weeks ago. I've never done a mixed surface event, and it sounds like a blast, but my only concern is that it might turn off the guys who went out and bought rally tires. Definitely on my list, though!glenthompson wrote:A hybrid event might be possible at Verona. There's a large grass/gravel field next to the lot we use. Start and finish on pavement and do most of it on the grass.
Why is that? That rules doesn't makes no sense. The fiberglass top disintegrates upon impact unless there is a roll cage under it and even then pieces go everywhere.mwalters wrote:Miatas are fine, as long as you have the factory hardtop. Matt
RX Rule book wrote:A RallyCross event is open to any fixed‐roof production based vehicle
(including convertibles with a factory hardtop attached, targa‐types with
factory panel in place, t‐tops with factory panels in place) that can pass
safety inspection. If the Event Chairman after consultation with the Event
Safety Steward determines at his discretion that a vehicle cannot safely
negotiate the course, it may be excluded.
