    Well, I cannot express how I am that I found out this morning that my buddy's camera was set to the poorest quality video mode at the rally yesterday. Just one of those small, REALLY inportant things I assumed was ready to go since the PICTURE mode was set to high quality. I pretty much came home with a bunch of pics of the VX just muddy as hell.
    It was super fun and a really great course to run, but I'm afraid the videos are such low grade that they're more painful to watch than enjoyable. I'm sifting through them today and I'll load anything that's worth squinting at.
    There are new pics in my gallery. Including one of my muffler somehow coming apart at a weld point on the freeway on the drive up . (I think that's my fault from a month ago ) Luckily there are some WELL equipped individuals at rallys--had to borrow a power saw and cut the entire exhaust back half off! It ran fine, actually sounded twice as mean as before.
    As for the race, the dirt actually dried up a bit just before my group, so the competition was fine. I did fine--no cones but made a wrong turn on a cloverleaf on the first run. Like I said before I wasn't trying to win anything. although it would of been sweet. The VX though was by far the attention-getter on the scene.

    Thumbs up

    Rally rocks, glad you were able to get the VX to an event! I can't express how much I miss hosting events here in FL.

    Top speed or time?

    time=to be honest, i don't know. I was in the last run group of the day and most of the early competitors had left already. It was starting to rain again and everyone wanted to just pick up the course...after a few fun runs of course! They only read off the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers and didn't even bother reading off times. I didn't even check..I only care if I'm close!

    speed=on the course, I was too busy counting cones! naw, I don't know, there was good straightaway and I probably got up to about 30 right before a good yank of the E brake.
    But there was an unused course behind the main one that I practiced on first and it was a lot more open, so I got to haul *** and even JUMP a nice crest.
    YES, there should be video--refer to my earlier post for why you probably won't get to see it
