I know it's not in the main scope of the forums here, but I just ran the Z in a local road rally (http://www.corc-rally.org) in the area NW of Columbus. It was somewhat Speed/Time/Distance based, but it didnt' really give enough leg information to do all the real number crunching for leg data. Instead you basically had to drive it dead nuts on. Even still, I would have been lost without Jenny navigating! We were the only car in Novice class, so we finished 1st there, but we finished 5th overall out of 9 cars and we also had two great legs with scores of 7 and 9. (Rally scores kinda like golf... with 1 point being assigned for every 0.01 seconds off the calculated leg time.) It was $15 bucks to enter for non members... we "raced" for 2.5 hours... and we had an absolute blast. It was fun for a Saturday night without anything to do.

I've got 2 novice class wins and a third place, I think) (and a 4th overall and I forget the other two overalls) in the corc rallys. I've run a few of them, it's great fun. Bill (my Memphis co-pilot) and I have run them and Danielle and I have run them, we did well both times.
And, they assign one point for each hundreth of a minute you are off (just over 1/2 second per point), not .01 seconds. I once nailed a stage with a score of 1 (but I had a trip computer with average speed on it in my old GTI and it apparently worked great). I beat the guys with the full rally computer in that event. |

Crap, I meant .01 minutes, but I was thinking of trying to convert it to seconds and my brain farted. Anyway it was a hell of a lot of fun I'll probably do it again.

Me and a bunch of friends did a road rally in Cleveland way back when ('88).
Me and the driver were both from out of state, so we got lost alot, needles to say! But, it was a lot fun. I remembered a friend's 85 Cross Fire Vette (which I drove to get my license in Cleveland) roared by when i was trying to read the map, it was then I fell in love with the sound of V-8s! QUOTE It was fun for a Saturday night without anything to do. I think it was one those nights, too...either go to a park drinking, or go to a park drinking...Aah youths... Aria |

I think you mean aggressive ("You're too damn aggressive"). Once I fix that, I'll be on my way to having skills. As far as the event, I'm working on that. My wife does not want me to go since a friend will be here on business (my Memphis co pilot), but he has suggested that we come play (we'll run the car in SM/SM2 and 3 drivers?). I have to see what the wife says, I'm working on it. |

I am still thinking whether to go to autocross on Sunday or to an Italian car show in Canton. I am thinking autocross will win. :drive: Give me a call tonight after 9pm.

Kevin's tires are too old and hard for drifting... they don't have enough grip... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) :leaving:
