Higgins Estate Rally, Results posted

[matthewhiggins118]

Higgins estate rally will be held at my house in wittenberg right now we have almost a half mile course set up and am willing to change depending on what you guys like.I will post up a couple pics and some video of us running today. It is a offroad course so it is not perfectly flat black top there are some very interesting elevation changes and sweeping turns. We are planning to run it this weekend i would like to know what day would be better and who would show.I am very open to suggestions also. There may be a cookout depending on turn out.

Thanks Matt

[Posihead]

so what are the official times

It's your Rally, why don't you make the times!?

[matthewhiggins118]

lol good point

[SgtRauksauff]

So, a real time would be good, so I can decide whether I can drive up there, or if I should stay home and work on other things that need doing....

but that is really late, although being in wittenberg, it's a good thing because it's a rather long drive... How long is it going to be, do I need to have my lights hooked up?

--sarge

[matthewhiggins118]

[devlish]

wow. looks awesome!!! i'm for sure making the next round out there whenever that is!! the Rally Gay-lant looks like it was having a blast in the mud!

[matthewhiggins118]

yes if there is enough intrest i will def do alot more work to smooth course and make it more car friendly.

So if you let me know how many of you would like to run again and what date i will look into making it work.

And any more suggestions or opinions about how to make it better and more enjoyable to all would be greatly appreciated

yes i should be able to attend if people will be there lol

[devlish]

what subi was fronk driving??

[northsydryd]

differnt frank he is usualy on wi-dsm.com under frankenstein or somthing liek that

[Extremedsm]

I had a good time out there. Too bad my back can not handle more than it can. Would have loved to ride around some more.

[xxxfrankensteinxxx]

so is this happening more often? can you derock the track and make burms? can i bring my dirtbike to fuck around with?

[matthewhiggins118]

yes i plan to have some more and we will do much more work to the track and banked turns.And yes bikes and atvs are not a prob just i think next time i will make helmets a requirment for everyone.Extreme i will try to smooth the track out alot more so it is not so hard on back.

[devlish]

^ i think any jarring around will suck for a person with back problems...

i really hope to make the next one!!

[Extremedsm]

Don't do that for me. I am pretty sure the drivers would like the track a little smoother because they can not go balls to the walls. The bumpy parts can take a toll on a car and even break it and everyone drove their car there. Broken cars have to get trailered home.

[Dizmm]

yes helmets would be a good idea.

We can try and make the track a bit smoother, however anytime you have soft or loose dirt, your going to create ruts.

[matthewhiggins118]

this is also a good point

[devlish]

awesome!!!

some packed gravel/roadmatte would be perfect. looks like you got a pretty solid base though on most of it. the mudpit sounds awesome though too!!! can't wait to make it there next time!

[matthewhiggins118]

yeah its a solid base its just when i added dirt to make it smooth it just made ruts it corners

[northsydryd]

any pics of my shitbox anywhere?

[Dizmm]

any pics of my shitbox anywhere?

i got 1 i think. I'll check later. Dont have my camera with me.

you just need a good rain or water down the track then let it dry. did that all the time bmxing.
any pics of my $200 dollar car?

[matthewhiggins118]

[matthewhiggins118]

alright ill pm my num to you

[EVILUTION]

I am interested in watching and maybe riding along....

[TomKat]

We don't allow ride alongs - only co-drivers.

Co-drivers have been known to be required to do some running during a stage.

[devlish]

^ sweet.

[05Saab]

Co-drivers should also wear a seatbelt at all times, because they have been known to hit the rearview mirror and windshield....lol

[matthewhiggins118]

alright sounds like there is enough intrest the day will be sunday at 2 o clock and i promise the track will be better then this past weekend

[devlish]

no no no. saturday!!! i'll be at the packer game sunday dammit

[Extremedsm]

I am interested in watching and maybe riding along....

Get that jeep out there! =)

[matthewhiggins118]

alright if there are no objections it will be sat then and if there is enough intrest sunday too

[EVILUTION]

Get that jeep out there! =)

I intend to... but you fuckers always schedule on the first weekend of the month. Fuck you!

[matthewhiggins118]

my plans are to have it smooth enough for a evo or wrx or sti or what have you.possibly two different courses on flater one then one with hills and shit

[krazyk]

nvm

[matthewhiggins118]

i have a 09 and that was me.thats awesome i was hoping for a couple quads but it was just me is yours stock?

[krazyk]

i have a 09 and that was me.thats awesome i was hoping for a couple quads but it was just me is yours stock?

mines an 05 with built motor.. i had snorkels on it and a stock motor but a sandy water hole got the best of me and it was floating upsidedown..
It ended up getting higher compression wiseco pistons, oversized valves and stiffer springs..
I dont plan on putting my snorkels back on it, i dont feel like getting gutsy and having another expensive accident with it again. I had ITP wheels and mudlights on it a few years back along with the snorkels..

Best damn utility atv on the market in my opinion :)

[northsydryd]

im not 100% sure il make it but im gonna try.if i get my strut hat fixed before sunday then mabe

[EVILUTION]

What are tomorrows plans???

Not tomorrow but Saturday I plan to pick up its replacement.

[VPT]

A 99 honda civic hatch?

[Extremedsm]

Not tomorrow but Saturday I plan to pick up its replacement.

You damn well know that you will change your mind about 12 times before then. LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!

[EVILUTION]

I'll only change my mind if the owner is full of shit and the car turns out to be an even bigger pile of shit. If not then bye bye EVO.

[devlish]

uh oh... bmw m3 huh?

[EVILUTION]

No overpriced turds for this guy.

[devlish]

^ when do we leave for the higgins rally saturday. i'll ride with you.

[Dizmm]

No. I need something I don't give a shit about.

interested in a galant?

[matthewhiggins118]

ok track update right now it looks like it will be smoother with a shit load of rally mud! I will be working on it today and tomaro morning. How many of you are still planning to attend

[Dizmm]

I gots to work all weekend. I may be able to stop out sunday afternoonish, around 5ish.

[matthewhiggins118]

bummer on the work thing all i can say is you were looking kinda ill the last time i saw you cough cough

[Dizmm]

bummer on the work thing all i can say is you were looking kinda ill the last time i saw you cough cough

ha that doesnt work in my line of work. I'll see what i can do.

[EVILUTION]

^ when do we leave for the higgins rally saturday. i'll ride with you.

I can't make the Higgin's Rally because it was moved to Saturday. Sounds like Dizmm has a similar conflict.

[highline_motorsports]

I say sunday would be better!!!

[matthewhiggins118]

my plans were are to have it both sat and sun to accomadate everyone or try to atleast

[northsydryd]

sunday would wokr better for me 2

[matthewhiggins118]

I am sorry to say but the rally will postponed my hopes of having a evo and sti friendly course is just not possible it is way too wet. And the rest of the course is questionable if a car will even make it threw all the mud.So right now i am think possibly a all day event next sunday. If you have a better day that will work just inform me and i will see what i can do. Again sorry to cancel it so late

[matthewhiggins118]

Also if it is next weekend there will be consesions and good great food for cheap.

[Dizmm]

I can try for next Sunday. next weekend is the start of the busiest time of my life.

[TomKat]

I can try for next Sunday. next weekend is the start of the busiest time of my life.

Are you having a baby?

[Dizmm]

Are you having a baby?


My life will not consist of having any babies. If it does, I toss them into the river.

[matt]

I'll be there next sunday

[Mr. Fuji]

My life will not consist of having any babies. If it does, I toss them into the river.

HA Ha Good one!

[devlish]

i cannot make next sunday, but i hope you guys have fun.

[mrslysly]

^ You will come if we have to drag you kicking and screaming!

[krazyk]

that mud would still be fun to play in!!!

[EVILUTION]

I bet its good to go today....

[devlish]

give me a call Evil if you head up that way.

[matthewhiggins118]

it would be fun but its just no possible cause right now the track is rough as fuck and there is noway to work on it with our equipment

[matthewhiggins118]

i really hope it dries out enough to work on we did get alot of it flattened and the big hole filled but thats it for now too wet in pit to work yet

[matt]

i hope it works out cuz this sunday is the last one i'll have off for the next..... 15 years?

[Dizmm]

No rally this weekend, just a big mud swamp.

[EVILUTION]

That's crap... the weather is perfect today.

[matthewhiggins118]

i know i am sorry every one but it is just soaked out there its beautiful out now but with the frost it never dried out at all and its almost impossible to work on the track.

[krazyk]

i know i am sorry every one but it is just soaked out there its beautiful out now but with the frost it never dried out at all and its almost impossible to work on the track.

lets do it tomorow regardless

[matt]

i agree

[matthewhiggins118]

we started to work the track earlier this week then it got too wet.and right now the course is all fucked up the hills and everything are all ripped up. i would really like to do it. i could maybe set up a flat rallycross course but it would be really muddy too

[Dizmm]

This guy has to work, but if you guys do have a rally, be sure to bring a tow strap.

[matt]

I like mud. Let me know if and when people should come up... i can help with the track too if needed.

[northsydryd]

ya whats wrong with mud? i got my car lifted back to stock with new strut hats so im ready for a bumpy course.

Is this the car Deadly Evolution bought?

[Dizmm]

Is this the car Deadly Evolution bought?

I hope so!!!

[EVILUTION]

I was hoping we could do this sooner rather than later what's the hold up?

[Dizmm]

how about some late night rally runs? I've got some light testing I'll be doing later tonight.

[TomKat]

how about some late night rally runs? I've got some light testing I'll be doing later tonight.

Sounds good to me.

[Dizmm]

9:00pm?

[TomKat]

Right after Spaghetti Sunday right after racquetball.

[krazyk]

sunday as in tonight???

[EVILUTION]

7PM tonight sounds great!

[devlish]

they went at 6. i didn't make it either. if anyone is doing beat runs later, pleaes advise via phone call!!! thanks

[TomKat]

7PM tonight sounds great!

I thought you liked to eat early?

DSM Girl bitched out making claims that if SS was at 6pm she'd be there.

[TomKat]

I've got some light testing I'll be doing later tonight.

The lights worked awesome. Road conditions sucked. We need some more snow.

http://i508.photobucket.com/albums/s330/Dizmm/My%20Cars/IMG_6985.jpg

[05Saab]

I got pulled over using 2 sets of fog lights.....watch out. Police don't like 2 sets of aux. lights, especially in Rapids

[northsydryd]

rapids pd doesnt like the fog and parking light combo either.

[TomKat]

There is no reason to be using 2 sets of extra lights in town.

Dizmm's lights are for use out in the sticks.

[devlish]

dizmm's lights look like a dammed freight train coming down the road!!!

[DirtyBird]

sounds like one to, clank. clank. clank. clank..boom boom boom...

[matthewhiggins118]

alright son i guess this sunday is a winter version of the rally. what type of course do you guys want i can set up a very smooth drift course with a couple turns. and as for the actual rally course idk how smooth it will be because of all the snow i can get it smooth but i think it may get eatin up and rough after a bit.what types of cars are coming?

[TomKat]

Isn't this next Sunday? Jan. 3rd.

Smooth drift course sounds good to me. I plan on bringing Snowball.

[EVILUTION]

I hope he means today. I've been asking about this for two weeks now. What time does it start?

[matthewhiggins118]

yes not today but next sun i need prep time

[EVILUTION]

Good job.... first weekend of the month.

[matthewhiggins118]

Good job.... first weekend of the month.

is this sarcasm or a actually good job?

[05Saab]

Sarcasm...he always has drill first weekend.

[Dizmm]

Evil chose to give up his first weekend of every month. He gets bank to compensate for it. Not sure why we keep hearing him complain about it. He's got nothing to race anyways.

[EVILUTION]

^ Okay Dizmm.

Unsubscribed.

[Dizmm]

I'm sorry evil, bring pepe! it'll be fun

[Dizmm]

Evil, does friday work for you. Thats new years day. most should have off work. Higgens, would that work for you as well?

[TomKat]

Ohh. Good idea Dizmm.

[matthewhiggins118]

it may work i will be working on track and shit tomm so i will let you know then

[Dizmm]

Good idea Dizmm.

Its the only kinds i have.

[TomKat]

Like this one:

http://i508.photobucket.com/albums/s330/Dizmm/Mikesrallyx/IMG_3931.jpg

[SgtRauksauff]

Dizmm, I like the lights. maybe I ought to put HID's in my housings, too! I've got some 100W 6" pencil beams, and some regular 55W 5..5" driving lights. oh, and the dinky little 25W driving beams. I was thinking 100W bulbs inside the 55W housings, but maybe I should do a set of 50W HID's in the 6" pencil beam housings, 35W HID's in the 5.5" ones.

Scratch that. If we melt the ice, it'll be hard to drive on it...

If I can get the heat ducting system installed in my protege on Thursday, I might be able to make it up on Friday for a bit of fun.

--sarge

[matthewhiggins118]

ok track should be done tonight i am trying my hardest to make it smooth

[Dizmm]

^ awesome Matt! let me know if you need some help.

[matthewhiggins118]

i should be able to get it i know i will have a decent drift course and rally one will be a little harder cause no matter what it will get rough

[northsydryd]

do you have any days planned yet?

[matthewhiggins118]

i think we are set for fri during the day if i am correct prob around noon

[northsydryd]

ok well if i get my blizzaks before tomarrow night then il be there

[Dizmm]

yup friday works out great. I sure hope to see evil there with his winter beater since we are all working around his schedule!

[matthewhiggins118]

yes for winter beaters the rally track will be fine the drift course will be good for all cars. i would even run mine but i hit a deer on sun night.

[SgtRauksauff]

Hmmm.. Drift course, eh?

maybe I should bring my Volvo!!

Except I took the snowtires off to put on a different car.. :(

[matthewhiggins118]
