...hoping Rally Idaho stays in early July...

 

[A.Searle]

May I inquire as to what you plan on running at Idaho?

PPIHC car for dave maybe

 

[DaveK]

Running the Evo in 2010. With the event in June, there will still be dirt between Devils Playground and Boulder Park. Now just waiting to see what the 2010 rule book is to see what class we'll be racing in.

Holy ground clearance!

 

[A.Searle]

What would would you be running at IDAHO ?

 

[DaveK]

What would would you be running at IDAHO ?

G2, Open Light, or IR Unlimited.

 

[A.Searle]

Do open light. It should still be a tight enought class with a lot of competition.

 

[amorton]

Dave were you thinking of buying / building a car or Renting a car?

 

[DaveK]

All daydreaming right now...but at least that's cheap.

We've come to the realization that rallying the Evo isn't really feasible on our budget. We'd like to get out to a few rally events next year, so currently trying to figure out how best to accomplish that. Since we have commitments for PPIHC, rallying something else may make more sense to save the Evo.

As to your question, most likely not building something, since there are plenty of G2 & OL cars just about built. Renting seems sketchy.

where's my seat mofo? LOL. Kidding. I realize when it's all paved I might be relegated to Umbrella Girl status at PPIHC.

Just need to add a rope and we'll get you jumping around on it like the sidecar motorcycles.

Vote for open Light!! Just saying

 

[EastSideTurku]

No Open Light at Idaho right? Being as though it is an USRC event.

There is a similar naturally aspirated "open" class in the NASA classing though...

Good to see that PPIHC changed their date now I don't have to do it.

Did you guys ever print the shirts with the fist up the a**? If not can I have the art work?

Went and checked out the Mt. Washington hillclimb road yesterday. Cloudy and 37 degrees at the summit.

While the grade is steeper (avg. 12%), its def. more of a 'rally like' road with some very narrow spots. The Sprongl video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ubWsXgdaJ8) doesn't do it justice. He was just flying! Overall elevation change is slightly more than at PPIHC, but the summit is only 6288.

Who's in?

I'm down when I move back to NY and the wife doesn't chop my balls off between now and then.

 

[granthughes]

Wow. The jump at the finish is pretty cool.
Pretty gnarly looking road. I like all the undulation and camber changes.

When do we leave?

Wells had suggested a true Hill Climb series many years ago that included this and a few others. Likelihood today of course is about zip....too bad it would be fun. (and costly)

*Lucky save about 3/4 up! If it had been dirt he'd have been in the ditch drivers left!
