Take a look at the latest listing of entries for the Sawmill ClubRally:

http://rallyright.com/sawmill/sawmill03-entry.html

Out of the 26 entries to-date, 20 are in open class. My old slow GTX is surrounded by EVO's, Impreza's and for some odd reason a slew of Talon's.

Seems everyone else has concluded as I did that the only way to really improve your seed is to run open or at least PGT. Is seems possible but very difficult to work your way up the ladder in a G2 or production car.

I have nothing profound to say now but thought it might spur some interesting discussion.

Well, the list seems to be not too accurate. Car #931 Kennedy/Kennedy is PGT not Open so I don't know how many of the other are inaccurate.

Well...we just completed the build of our car, and when researching what to buy/build, the most cost effective for the performance appeared to be a DSM car. (I'm sure others will disagree) You can pick up a nice used street car for about $1500. So for a AWD Turbo car, thats pretty cheep. I wanted to build a SAAB, but I was told that finding rally parts for them was way to hard and expensive. We also originally anticipated building the Talon as a Production GT car....but then the 12 year rule was made effective and that killed that idea. Also, the Talon is pretty tight on space, so gutting the interior is pretty nice. I guess the other reason we built this car...was that I already owned it

All those Open class cars at Sawmill

OK, what can I say but I sucketh at the Internet.

In developing a very cool web based registration & scoring system I <gasp> made a slight coding error that accidentally set some cars to Open class.

My bad.

It's fixed now.

Thanks for pointing it out to the entire world! ;-)

Remember that some of the Talons are now too old to be PGT cars (at least as ProRally cars - remember that some of these cars are likely going to run STPR and Maine) and they now have to run a 32mm restrictor as a PGT car. It makes Open a much more attractive class.

We, your humble servant, were just testing your code for you, that's all }> BTW, which part pays more, data entry or programming x(

Data entry pays more. I am bribed with cigars and booze before doing it.

Now I see some of the entries have times associated with the entry on the right side. Is that the pre-determined time they they have been assigned/paid for }> Is that where some of your pay comes from.

Hello everyone I am one one the three grp 2 cars there on the list. you can keep the AWD cars Its more fun finishing a head of them with a 2wd . Any one can drive a fast car fast but driving a slower car fast is alot more of a challenge.
Plus I have what it cost for a new evo in my car, and parts a every where .Chris Putzier #963:+ :+ :+ :+ :+ :+ :+

Not my system. My entry list is at:

I'll ask Ed what's going on regarding his list, but I believe he's doing everything manually based on my list. My list is generated from the database on my server.
