Bernie won't be able to co-drive at the next rallycross. So, if any of you know of a relatively sane newbie that you might want to expose to rallycrossing, I'm willing to offer a free co-drive in The Dog (which is 400 lbs lighter). And no, I didn't get out of the car to achieve that weight loss!

Anyone who's been wanting to give Rallycross a try but keeps saying you don't have a car...here's your chance!

Warning: Rallycross is VERY addictive!

True. I do remember running over two seconds faster when you got out on my last run at OCS last spring.

Don't rub it in the truth hurts. I'll get you at the next Rally cross for that.

Clearly you have a distorted self image as anyone who has seen you drive will attest to your complete insanity. :lol: I'm really glad that I'll be attending the next rallycross as this should be very entertaining. :shock: :D

Yes, but was that because of the weight difference or because Bernie wasn't yapping in your ear the entire time? :P

I'll see you in Failure Analysis.

(Yes that was a dis. But also the truth; see you there at 2:50).

His yapping actually helped.

OK. Register for one or both days and I will see you there. It is a lot of fun and I have windows to keep the dust out. :lol:

If you want advice on how to go off-road, Bernie is your man. :P

Nothing to be nervous about. Just come out and have a good time with the rest of us and have fun sliding around in the dirt. The events are pretty laid back.

Agreed. Chris, you'll take to it like a duck to water. And the 2-day weekend is the perfect way to get started in it.
