For the Four Oaks event this Sunday:

3 drivers in one car okay? Wouldn't mind running one driver in a different run group if it helped.

They are just under the limit of 26 co-drivers. :lol:

Besides, I don't see anyone signed up in The General for this event.

There is no official limit. With that said, there is a practical limit. We don't want your car to be the only car on course for many laps.

The General Lei has had 6 drivers in the past. The only thing I see is that drivers seemed rushed to get their runs in quickly to turn the car over to the next driver. There is no issue with multi-driver cars "cutting" in line to accomplish that.

Look again. The General Lei has run the last 27 consecutive rallycrosses (for the record there have only been 30 THSCC rallycrosses total). Roughly averaging 4 drivers an event at 6 runs each, that is about 650 runs (not including schools and fun runs). :shock: It'd be a damn shame to break the streak now. I'm in. :twisted:

Edit: I just did the math...we've probably spent about $1000 on the car (including purchase price) over 4 seasons between about 10 different people. That averages out to about $1.50 a run. That doesn't suck.

Well good. I was a little sad just thinking about a RallyX without an appearance by The General. :lol:

Real race cars have no heaters.

actually i think full on rally cars, may not have a/c, but i think they have heat.. rallying in sweden could be cold without heat..

Thanks guys! Looks like 3 drivers. I guess maybe 4 if chris lin shows up and wants to roll. I almost took the heater core out but decided it was too much trouble- glad I didn't! Now if only hadn't removed the windshield wipers...
