Hehe, i was coming here to post about MY first rallyX event, and i c a post about it at the very top lol. I started looking into this in the summer, and nobody was mentioning it, and then suddenly everybody jumped in hehe (240racer being the first one i heard of with his AWD celica).
Anyways, back to the point of my post :) Today was my first rallyX event... which was a SHITLOAD of fun. Unofortunately i didnt get to run as many times as we were supposed to, due to the rainy conditions, but that rain made the runs we had very very awesome :) I didnt race the 240sx, but still raced a nissan car which was my friend's 97 sentra. I don't know the results yet, but from talking to other racers, i did about 15 seconds better than a race prepped 89 escort and about 25 seconds better than a first gen rx7... and 2 minuted better than a 94 dodge stratus hehe.
Here is a crappy vid my friend took from inside the car of a part of the course. Sorry, no pics, as the camera batteries died on me and this is the only worthwhile thing i got :(

Cant wait till next year when they reopen the track. Planning to come back next year with a fully prepped escort. I lucked out on the fact that my friend crashed his 5spd escort into a curb and the tranny in my auto escort is going out. Neither of the cars are worth rebuilding (auto tranny - $350, fixing his curb damage - $400) to us, so i'm buying the escort off of him and swapping the suspension from my escort on his car. That way i'll have a running 5spd escort and a nice parts car for when things go wrong :)
