I think the shadow might make it there, you can co-drive if you feel like it.

[devlish]

I think the shadow might make it there, you can co-drive if you feel like it.might be a LOT of co-drivers huh?
it'll be a 6 man car!!

I would like to go, anyone mind if i catch a ride with them?

[TomKat]

I woud like to participate in the pit crew. Who's going?

Pit crew? At rally cross events the pit crew has to drive also.


Anyone car ride with me if they want, but I'll be leaving early.

[EVILUTION]

Well I can't ride along.... I'll get sick. So count me out. Thanks for the offers though.

[TomKat]

Well you're driving then.

[3ftcivic]

i would like to go watch this....possibly might need a ride though.

[devlish]

Well I can't ride along.... I'll get sick. So count me out. Thanks for the offers though. Lets take a ride down there.. you heard the man. he needs a co-driver! we'll pop some dramamein and have at it!!

I'd be down to co drive.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

i have no idea if there is a limit on how many can co-drive a single car.

[TomKat]

Up to 4 co-drivers.

I took the Craprice out tonight. Dizmm V-PP is going down Sunday. :twisted:

Well if anyone needs co driver let me know.

[devlish]

event CANCELLED!!!!



but rescheduled, same day, at DOC'S PLACE!!!!!


suhweeeet

[TomKat]

Yeah we had to cancel the event in South Wayne. But I called Doc tonight and he said we can use his place in Bancroft. :D

So get your cars ready for Sunday.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

Yeah we had to cancel the event in South Wayne. But I called Doc tonight and he said we can use his place in Bancroft. :D

So get your cars ready for Sunday.

Is this still a formal rally-x event hosted by the fvscc with timing stuff and all?

[EVILUTION]

Why was the event cancelled?

[SgtRauksauff]

DAMN!!! That really sucks, because there's no way the RallyBuick™ can be driven up there. Which means I'm going to have to trailer it, Which I really don't want to do on these roads, especially since my tow vehicle doesn't have snowtires, and has one caliper that likes to grab a bit when it's wet out.

Too much snow my ass!! They've got tractors, with loader buckets on the front, MOVE the snow!!!

I might end up just driving the pansy-mobile green escort or something.. :(


--sarge

[TomKat]

This will not be a formal event. A CWSCC get together. Yes we will do timing. Winner gets all the marbles.

There was too much snow at South Wayne so I was told.

[Stash]

Time? Directions? Cost? South Wayne was farther than I wanted to go but now that it is closer I am interested.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

Also how smooth will the course be out at docs, I think Dv2 needs to have some winter rally fun!!!

[devlish]

Also how smooth will the course be out at docs, I think Dv2 needs to have some winter rally fun!!! i got some 16" snow tires if you need...

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

Dv2 came with a set of snow tires, its ready to rock!

[TomKat]

Better leave Dv2 at home. DvPP would be a much better choice.

Cost? - With tax, license fees, track dues, cleanup costs, shop fee, club dues, and spectator admission it should come to about $0.00

Time? - What time do you guys want to start?

Directions? - Head south on I39 take the Bancroft exit. :D There may be directions here: www.geocities.com/cwscc2001

[devlish]

Cost? - With tax, license fees, track dues, cleanup costs, shop fee, club dues, and spectator admission it should come to about $0.00 cool.

Time? - What time do you guys want to start?about 10:00 at docs??


Directions? - Head south on I39 take the Bancroft exit. :D There may be directions here: www.geocities.com/cwscc2001south on i39, take the W exit for Bancroft and go LEFT. turn RIGHT onto Pine St, turn RIGHT onto Mill Rd, turn left onto Corvette Lane (last left, more of a long dirt driveway) take Corvette Lane to the gate, go thru the gates and you'll see a house straigh ahead and 3 sheds on the right... turn towards the 3 sheds

sweet... how long are you guys planning on staying there... cuz i might just have to take a drive with the corsica after work... i get done with work at 2:30 p.m... so yeah, the corsica may just have to take a run... 8) and i promise not to run anybody over... :lol:

[TomKat]

We should still be there at 3pm so you can open up the fastest Corsica in town. :D

dunno if i can make it there by 3... i work in rapids... hmmmmm... major speeding will need to be done by the Corsica... :D

I'm guessing the reason why i have the fastest Corsica in town is actually because it's the ONLY corsica in town... well, at least in the CWSCC... :lol:

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

The Full Rally Shadow as a few upgrades(err yeah). I sure hope that CRAPeace is ready to get a beat down.

[TomKat]

No need to speed. We should be there past 3:05pm for sure. :D

Craprice is ready. V-8 power!!!! Bring it.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

So are there any facilities at this rally-x? should we bring LOTS of warm clothing. Is there going to be hot-chocolate? Does it cost to spectate? does this require a drivers licences? Do cars have to pass tech, if yes what kind of tech, kronztech??? When does registration start and end? Can i pre-register?

thanks for the info!

[Stash]

So are people meeting up in town and heading out?

[devlish]

pp has no snow duds i hear. that sucks. the tires were left inside the tire changing place.. or stolen. fockers.

but yes, PP looks much nicer, and sounds lots meaner now!!

[TomKat]

Track (Creekside Corners Raceway) update:

A 4WD full size Chevy drove out a course today. Made it through the snow without any problems. After about 15 laps it was packed down enough for the Craprice to make a run. First run the Craprice made it through - slowly, but she made it.

A couple of snowmobiles came out to help pack down the snow which helped out somewhat.

Final analysis:

The track is a combination of snow and sand. Some bumps, but they are very soft. Deep soft ruts in parts. Of the 20 or so laps the Craprice completed I had to be pulled out about 15 times. It's a challenge just to make it around without getting stuck. If I went slow it was fine, but as soon as I pushed the car the front end would plow and send me off the track and stuck. I believe any all wheel drive vehicle would be fine, but any 2 wheeler will be struggling.

[TomKat]

We can run tomorrow if you guys want to. Let me know if any of you are still interested.

[Stash]

I love playing in the snow. I'm down, I got AWD, shouldn't be a problem. I don't care if it is timed or anything, if its ends up just being a couple of us screwing around I'm fine with that.

HELL YEAH! time to see what my corsica can really do!

Well I hope that CRAPeace is up to a wheel to wheel matchup with DizmmV.2 PP Edition.

[TomKat]

Wheel to wheel? Uh guy it's a challenge just to get around the track without getting stuck. Slower works better.

There are no hot chocolate facilities on site. :(

Sell shat are we going to do about that!!! The shadow will make it just fine, its the rally edition.

[TomKat]

OK. I just got off the phone with an Audi guy. Two of them from Milwaukee are coming up.

Can we meet up at 9:30am somewhere?

[Stash]

9:30 works for me. Just name the place. Are helmets required for this?

[TomKat]

No helmets required. How about meeting at The Store gas station in Park Ridge on Hwy. 10.

[Stash]

Works for me.

[TomKat]

Good times. I was laughing so hard today it hurt. :D

Devlish (Jeep) vs. Dizmm v-PP. The Jeep had to be trailered home.

Dizmm v-PP was the last car standing, but eventually she fell too.

We need a tire changing machine out there.

DizmmV-PP did very well, even without the snow tires. It ran like a champ the whole day, until it finally popped the tire off the beed.

I would love to do this again next weekend!

[highline_motorsports]

it was a great time. looking forward for the next one..

[TSi_II]

Did anyone get some pictures?

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

Did anyone get some pictures?

no, :( I wish we would have had my video camera out there when DizmmV-PP and DevlishV-JEEP were going at it. I laughed so hard i was crying!!!

[TomKat]

Dizmm v-PP vs. Devlish Jeep. Like the best chase scene ever :D , but no cameras. :(

WARNING: Dizmm + a can of starting fluid + a matchbook + a flat tire= Bad combination. :?

[Stash]

Thats some of the most fun I've had in a while. Thats the first time I have been chased in a car with someone trying to ram us. Devlish performed a good PIT maneuver on the shadow of death, maybe he should get into law enforcement. I would being willing to do it again, but the track got pretty tore up. Its too rough for the dsm, I still care about the car and I use it for daily transportation. It would be nice if we had a way to groom the track.

[TomKat]

The grader is available, but the ground is sand and won't compact at all. We could change up the track to avoid the bad spots.

I'll have to come out earlier next time, was a pretty fun besides the cold aspect of it.

wish i could of been there... but tom called me at 2:30 and told me that you guys were already done... and i have to work next weekend... !&%@&%@%&@%&@%&! I dunno if you guys are gonna do it in two weeks but i have every other weekend off... i'm actually convinced i work WAY to damn much for my own good... :lol:

[devlish]

agreed. i haven't laughed that hard in a long time... both dizzm and i were driving through tears from laughing so hard during the full contact chase scenes. a camera would have been the ultimate!!!

yes, the jeep was trailered home... but she took a beating to get there. and $10 and 30mins later, she was running again.... but not without further casualities. i will be looking for a front grill and all lights, muffler, as well as filling my trans fluid regularaly now it appears. still a fun time. should have installed a cow-catcher prior to this weekend. owell.

[Stash]

Good to here the oil cooler is fixed. I felt kind of bad since I was behind the wheel when it happened, but I don't think I hit the Shadow any harder than you did. Cow catcher would be awesome for sure, it would be nice to see more chases go down in the future.

[ragdoll]

I brought my D-SLR camera and digital video camera out but I was having too much fun to think of taking it out. I should have video taped the starter fluid and tire deal at least. That was scary for a moment.

Next weekend I may be able to join with a sweet '93 Mit. Mirage.

Cow catcher would be awesome for sure, it would be nice to see more chases go down in the future. no worries. $10 later the oil cooler has been bypassed. the transmission is now my main concern. $85 worth of grill/lights will be ordered this week as well. no big deal overall. just wish i would have waited to beat on it until after the winter season i need it for... owell.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

This guy knows how to do it:

[devlish]

yup. i think we might have used a little too much starting fluid. owell. the bulging tire was funny as hell.

[TomKat]

A little to much. :shock: Dizmm used about 8X what was needed. :D

The tires for the Craprice are now ready to go again. This weekend?

[helby]

i remember days out at docs with the green machine he used to have..that was fun...wish i could make it out there again sometime....

[Stash]

So is anything happening this weekend out there? I'm down as long as we chage the couse a bit to avoid the sand pit.

j/k

[turbo chick]

I'd be interested in going out to Doc's to watch some rally action. I'm not driving the Talon on the track....it has taken enough abuse in the last week, I don't need anything else to happen right now. But I will totally go watch.

[TomKat]

We should do some actual timed runs this time.

[devlish]

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

[devlish]

^^ something you should have asked for earlier in the week...

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

^^ something you should have asked for earlier in the week...

well i thought about asking, just forgot man. maybe tonight i can pick them up from you and then pickup those rims from tom and get them mounted saturday or something.

[devlish]

yeah... except they are my really really nice, newly refinished rims, that have not been used yet... not sure i want them put through the dirt/rocks all day long.

the other 2 are still in great condition, just not refurbed yet... have drag radials mounted on them. i didn't realize how much dirt etc they would be seeing. hmmmm....

[devlish]

too bad those other got ganked... that sucks big time!!!

for those that don't know... we had a set of aluminum rims and firestone winterforce tires STOLEN last weekend. they were set outside firestone in St Pt late at night... and missing the next morning. mounted on the rims were some kumho victo-racers as well. all of it is gone. :(

[EVILUTION]

That is not good at all. Insurance gonna cover that? Got any pics of the rims? I'm sure they will turn up on a car in the area.

[TomKat]

^^ something you should have asked for earlier in the week...

I asked on Monday.

[TomKat]

I secured another spare for the Craprice.

[Crazy Jon]

I really wish people would post about these events ahead of time.

Maybe even start a new thread when appropriate or at least rename the ongoing one so people will check it.

JJ OUT

[TomKat]

It was announced on this thread. What more do you want?

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

If a given person is bored and wants something to do, one should call around to find out of such events.

...or read the forum.

[Stash]

I'm with Evil on this one. I asked in this thread on Thursday if anything was going on this weekend, never got a reply. Then the time of the event was posted an hour and a half before it happened and no details were given if the course was being changed or not.

[highline_motorsports]
