hi, who is coming to the rallycross feb2nd. 19 people signed up, that is cool. Does the field need any work to it, or is it ok. I will be solo'ing at rallyx. first time for everything. Sandblast i will be solo too. Anyone got addys for the spectator areas and maps and stuff, if I can get an address.. my gps can find it. i wont have dad around to help me,(nervous) anyway, i will try to not catch pneumonia fixing the toyota, if i get around to it. I do not like really cold weather when im doing things. we do have a electric space heater, so it wont be all bad. I checked pep boys, and they don't have inner tubes, i suppose discount tire might, or sturdivans.

till then.. stay warm and dont wreck on the ice.

I bought the inner tube I needed for the 210 at Carquest which was a block away from where I wored at the time.

Yup! My friend and I are gutting an 87 Corolla and will be taking it on a trailer if it all works out. We plan on going to the Novice school AND the event on the day after if we can get the car in decent shape.

we found a rather major fault with the front wheel joints, on our old eta sport.
it is with some disappointment that i say, i most likely will be campaining the toyota at the rallycross school. In place of the bmw, to repair the joint problem, it would require a new arm and bushings. The bushings in question are so bad, when the wheel is turned left or right.. a audible clunk is heard.
i wanted to be doing a euro at a rally cross, a euro sport.. but it appears old reliable will be back into service. eventually i think the eta sport will replace the black IS. due to body damage suffered by the is last season.

i certainly hope to see you guys there at the event though, whatever it is im driving.
