That's right, we are having a Test & Tune Rallycross style out at the BMW Farm on Saturday, January 31st, followed by our first Points Rally X of the season on Sunday, Febuary 1st.

Bret has been kind enough to invite us back to the farm for some more fun in the dirt, and we are going to drive until the cows come home and wander around on course. Come join us as we get tuned and lubed, prepped and pumped for an awesome Rally Cross season! You won't want to miss this chance to get some extra seat time early in the season, on one of our favorite venues. Size up the competition and chat wth the seasoned pros as we get ready to rock the local rally cross scene this year!

We do need an event chair for this event, and all Rally X participants are encouraged to consider chairing an event this season. If you are interested in being an event chair, please contact Chris Suich or myself, or feel free to post your questions here.

See you in the dirt! :D

~ Ash

Will the saturday practice course be the same as the sunday race course? This sort of gives the saturday people a competitve advantage. I'm a slow learner.....

I heard that to even the playing field, everyone who runs Saturday will have to forfeit 1/2 their prize money if they finish above anyone who runs only Sunday......

Cue the "no whining" smiley...........

Different courses. Probably multiple short courses for test & tune, with just the most-commonly-blown elements as one part, and with elements that actually could make use of car setup adjustments as another part.

For test & tune, does anybody have anything specific in mind that they have trouble with as a driver, or want to use to dial in their car? I already have some plans, but want to see what others are interested in.
