Hopefully this link works.

Last year's final event, Poughkeepsie Sports Car Club's Rallycross Series in Redhook.

First event is April 28th - come check it out!

I'm still a total noob, getting beat by most of my competition, but they score it like a real rally so all runs add up - which put me in top 2 once or twice, but still much slower fastest run compared to the other modified RWD

Sorry about video quality, my go pro is an old Iphone 3G-S duct taped to the rear view mirror ;)

A Rallycross course in the middle of a pumpkin patch, so awesome! I have an S13 as well and plan on turning it into my dedicated rallyx car. How is your car set-up? What modifications do you have? Any plans to take it to the stage?

Visit my website this is how I get my, Wheels Dirty! (http://www.wheelsdirty.com/) for Southern California Rallycross coverage.

Why more people don't run RX mystifies me, its all the wheelspin and angle of drifting without the copious tire wear. Oh well more runs for us

[SpazmSi]

I don't have much done, and I'm still slow as hell. I get beat buy this guy driving a Volvo 240 be 6-8 secs every time, its gonna have to change this season.

Ported (somewhat) Intake Manifold
All emissions yanked, plugged, polished smooth

Stock Everything Else - Open Diff
Altima 15" rims with Winterforce Tires


This Season Car has/will have:

Hopefully a seat that I can stay in while driving
SKID PLATE needed badly



I have been dreaming of stage rally for ten years, I may start a build to fix my rust this winter and get a real cage. But as far running an actual season of club rally - I don't have a tow vehicle, or the cash to really run it. For now this is the closest I can get.

The 240sx has been awesome! I daily drive it, bring it the course, bounce all over with my crap suspension and still manage not to destroy it. We've had Evos and STIs ripping exhausts off, bending skid plates 180 degrees.

Props for driving the S4 like a man! So many F'in posers. Get some damn seat time!! Auto X and Rally X are sweet, safe, and you find out you may be able clutch kick and left foot brake and shift in half a second, and come in dead last in class.

I hope I can actually get some speed this season. I watch my videos over and over and I know a lot of things to work on.

@ Stinky 180 that course on the main page of your link is SWEET. We have some insane courses here in Red Hook but it gets pretty rutted if it isn't dried out. I will eventually go AWD I think, but for the next few years I just wanna get nasty with my S13 - keep it cheap and build it to last.

My April weekends are filling up with car events - drifting at Lime Rock and Rally X in Red Hook? Fantastic. I'll see you there to spectate, look for me in my black 'vert S13.

[SpazmSi]

Awesome! - if your an SCCA member you can ride along no charge, but if not you have to pay 10 bucks to ride along, basically the weekend SCCA membership, that way your covered under insurance.

Anyone who comes out can ride with me - they have loaner helmets. Hope to see more RWDs this year. I'm going to make some better videos too.

[SpazmSi]

Tomorrow is event #1

Hope to see some RWDs!

[blkvrtswp]

I saw a red 240 off Rt 9 in a deli or some store when I arrived at 12:30. Sorry I just missed you! Cool event, lot's of dust!

Yeah that was me, I had to go in to work so I didn't get to stay long. It was definitely fun. Not too many cars though. I'll post again when the next one comes up.

[marshallpre1]

Very cool. I live right in Poughkeepsie, unfortunately I can't take any of my cars rally crossing lol

[SpazmSi]

Yeah it can be pretty brutal on the ride. There is going to be a few more autoXs this year. If you've never been its damn fun too and doesn't beat on the car.

[kalikouki]

[SpazmSi]

Nice! I hope to make more events this year it's retarded fun.
