I know I'm likely to catch a bit of flaming, but I went rallycrossing today in my GSL-SE. I gotta say, flogging a car on dirt, grass and gravel, while also dodging cones, was a totally new experience for me. Certainly gave new meaning to "airing it out", as there were a few times when the car didn't have any contact with the ground. Sideways and airborn at the same time can be pretty interesting....
Pretty much a stock SE chassis and engine, other than the RB header, intake and edelbrock 600 carb, along with the GM HEI X3 ignition mod and e-fan.
Overall, the car finished 3rd and 5th in prepared rear wheel drive (PR) class against a couple of well prepped miata's on snow tires with experienced rallycross drivers, while me and my co-driver were total noobs, and running all season tires (Falken ZE-512's). I'm pretty sure the 2 year old gas wasn't helping much either.....
Anyone else tried rallycross?
I've been running my 12a car in CSP autocross for a few years (2007-2010 CSP regional champion) and wanted to give this a try. What a hoot. All that was missing was the rebel flag on the roof and the dixie playing horn..........
