Joe, sorry to hear that. I vaguely remembered it being on Sunday, but it just never clicked. I wrote it off almost right away based on location and never got to thinking about it any further I guess. Yeah, that's every bit of 6 hours from here, and on Sunday too... kinda hard to do. Doable, but doubtful. Not very accomodating to anyone but those only a couple of hours out. Even then, it's Sunday.

t2p, like Joe said, I have to recline a good bit but it's getting almost natural. Jay Dunford from this board has done some rallycrossing and said he also had to but that when he got the signal to mash that pedal it never crossed his mind. It's basically the same for me - it's really not a problem, and I really thought it would be. I'm using a Fulmer Snell M2000 motorcycle helmet. I think it has to be rated at least Snell M98 for SCCA rallycross.

transio, I did my first run or two more conservatively, but now that I've done a few of these things, I get pretty aggressive and you're going to have to try hard to lose the rear end, let alone flip, even in slightly banked turns. I've had it slide just a bit twice, but it was nothing to be worried about and it can help set you up better for the next section of the course. A lot of people are out there TRYING to drift for precisely that reason. Once you're out there and doing it, the rollover concern melts away. I look at it this way - the VX will grab and hold as much as you need it to, and it will break loose at the point that holding may get you into more trouble than slipping. Plus these courses are designed with an eye toward safety by keeping it fairly tight to keep speed down. You can't carry enough speed into a hairpin to get you into big trouble. I like rallycross a lot, and I think the dirt actually helps - there's actually a lot you can do in dirt that I'd never try on pavement.
