darn, I wish I had been there.
The Swift is in pieces right now, hope to have it ready for the next event.

Tell me, what is the track like after a few runs?

Cheers,
Darryl

The track held up quite well. Times were relatively consistent throughout the day although there was one particularly sandy section that got really rutted, but I didn't see a lot of big rocks being pulled up as was common at the gravel pit. There was an occasional light rain which helped keep the dust down.

Yeah, there were a couple spots that got a bit rutted, but actually more just dug out than rutted. The whole apex of the corner would just be a bit of a hole, rather than a set of ruts that could steer the car like we had at Dungannon. I'm optimistic that with some slight changes to a few corners every event, and re-arranging how we run it, we can keep the conditions reasonable. There was a very distinct lack of "thunk" and "bang" noises on the bottom of the car, which was nice. My front bumper is a little worse for wear, but that's mainly because I used it to cut down some 1/2" diameter trees...

I want to race on Sunday with you guys but have a couple questions.
I've never raced rallycross or other so this will be my first time out and will probably baby the car.
1. Unlicensed car - can I enter it? Its safe to drive and all that, I just assume I'll need to install a fire extinguisher?
2. Co Driver - I want to take turns driving with my buddy. This happen much?
3. Anyone have a car trailer for sale?

Hi,

Unlicensed cars are fine, we do check for basic safety stuff. You don't need an extinguisher in the car. Yes, you can have multiple drivers in one car (max of 3), we'll separate you in the run order so that you have time to swap around without holding things up. People do it all the time. There may be someone there with helmets you could rent/borrow, but it may be best to try to come up with something ahead of time. If you're not going to be in a caged car then a basic M2005 helmet is probably pretty cheap.
