DFW, TX Meet - Rallycross

[Jay Dunford]

The first DFW RX of the year will be held 13th April at the Motorsports Ranch south of Ft. Worth. Lets plan on a VX meet there even if you don't want to run the RX (don't know why you wouldn't though ; ) )

The RX will start around 11:00 am and is usually over by 3 or 4 depending on number of entries. We can then go to dinner if everyone is not too tired from the day's excitement.

Hey Jay. You I will deffinately be there!

[Tone]

I’ll plan on being there.

Hey Jay:

Motorsport Ranch is a road race track/course, right? Not having had the pleasure of being involved in a prior VX rallycross, what is involved? Do we have to have special equipment (helmets) or have special licenses, or comply with their laundry list of regulations (like giving them a pint of blood or anything)?;eekr;

Count me in, whatever it is! Rob A.

[Vasha13]

I'm in either way but I probably should know exactly what you do at a Rallycross before I say I will drive it. ;Dp;

[VX crazy]

Sounds fun, as long as I don't have to watch out for other vehicles in the way!!! I am there!

[Jay Dunford]

A Rallycross is basically a timed single car race through a course set up in a dirt/grass field. There are usually at least 4 separate runs for each car entered and the lowest accumulated time for all runs wins.

More info here: http://www.texasscca.org/rallyx.html

No special equipment needed except a closed top vehicle (no rag tops) and an approved helmet. There will be loaner helmets provided at the event. Each car will be inspected prior to race for working seatbelts and other safety items.

[Vasha13]

So just a grassy field, a few bumps, and a race? No water crossings or rock crawling? This might be my kind of event!

I'll put my money on VX Crazy. I hear she has a lead (Pb) foot.

I won't be able to attend this one.

Jay:
Thanks for the info. Sounds like a blast!

Now what kind of handicapping do the non-supercharged VX'ers get!!!!! Rob

[Cptnmorgan]

I'll be there with bells on. Going to miss the NASCAR race, but what the heck I'd rather be racing myself.

BTW "I dont need no stinking supercharger!!!!!"

Dont freak out yall when you see my VX. I have "for sale" stickers on it. ;eekr; But I'm in no hurry to get rid of it and the price is set high!!! Waiting for that one person to come along and pay the price for a "limited production concept vehicle".

[VX crazy]

Thanks Tim, but I do have those dang little tires, but I guess they are a good thing for this maybe?? My head is tough enough, I still have to wear a helmet?? It will mess up my hair!

[lostemple]

I am there! Hey Tone what happened to our out of town VX visitor get together?

[VX crazy]

Lostemple, your still breathing??? I can't believe your going to go!! What about Moab??

[lostemple]

Tone is a good man and tries to keep me involved. While I will be at the Dallas shindig, I fear MOAB is out of reach. I got divorced February 17 2002. I told my HR department to make the necessary changes to my health insurance, 401K and the IRS. Well they did except to the IRS. I did my taxes and it turns out they were deducting Married TAX as opposed to Single TAX. So now I owe the IRS $1,500.00. Exactly what I had saved up for MOAB : ( Unless a windfall makes it my way, I can not afford to go to MOAB this year. It really depresses me.
