But to do it with handicaps...oh the shame. lol Seriously though, this is very exciting to be taking part in a rally with some people who i've greatly respected and admired for years. Now if only i stood a chance

So who's gonna be the judge of lighting? Lighting on newer cars is vastly better than lighting on old cars... so someone in a new car would have an unfair advantage. (Then again... what if someone modified their headlights to have a better output... fond memories of my old Audi 4kq with BMW dual rounds and H4 + H1 conversion kits... stock wattage bulbs outshone Hella 4000's!)

And... as the navigator... I have to say no way am I doing this thing without a computer!

Reply #18 - 01/19/11 at 13:00:09 If we did this it should be pretty informal....if you're judged by your peers to have anything that is unfair like lights then we'll ensure only one of them works! I was just looking to see if there were a few people who wanted an extra challenge as the rally has been easier to be close to the CAS in recent years

You should come! What if I need a trailer again?!

Can't go with no odo - if we do, there's no way to ZERO, which means it will just turn into a stupid go as fast as you dare without lights night. Fun - yes, but I really wanted to get a hang of the whole driveX thing, where you have to go fast with no wheel spin, etc.
