Topic: SoCal: Come RallyX with the CN! Talon this weekend!

Unfortunately I got wind of this event very late, but there are still 2 spots open for the rallycross at Glen Helen this weekend. Saturday is a practice and is open to anyone. Sun is the "race" with 6 timed runs. We're bringing the talon exactly as it rolled off the tow dolly from Sears Pointless. Hoping to whoop up on some EVO/STI forum fanbois with our crapcan.

The event has a really cool format. The ~1 mile long loop course is split into 3 sections: A, B, and C. Three cars line up at the same time, one at each of the section S/F lines. All three cars start and run at the same time, passing each other at the intermediate S/F lines before finishing at their original start line. So you can immediately tell if you've beat the other two cars of your heat. You cycle through starting at A/B/C for each of your runs to keep everything equal.

Hope to see another Lemons car make it. Maybe its the first step towards the yet to be organized "Baja $500". "Paris-Krapkar"? "Rally Monte-Crapola"? The name still needs work.

We were planning to go to this event in the ORIGINAL eyesore racing machine (http://www.modified.com/projectcars/020 … index.html) just to get some dirt under our pavement-weenie drivers. Sadly, I'll be at the Nurburgring that weekend, so I can't make it.

Nurburgring-schmurburgring. Everybody knows the real fun is driving in circles around cones in a dirt lot in the inland empire.

Dave, your excuse = weak.

The north-northeast part of the track could prove to be...err...distracting.

I'll make it to an actual race one of these days.  Until then...
