Well I went to the RallyCross National Championship a couple weeks ago. I had to run in Modified 2-Wheel Drive, so I got my ass kicked by a bunch of FWD neons and VWs. The car is very competitive though, and with some more driving experience there's a lot of potential. I did see a car flip though, so a roll cage will be on my winter to-do list.
At the event I removed my rear swaybar to feel the difference. Lots more understeer, I probably won't put the stock one back on. I also started randomly removing interior bits for intimidation. It didn't work, but I'll probably end up stripping the rest out later now.
Here's the kind of cars I was up against. This is a mostly fiberglass ice-racing car from Michigan.
Here's some pictures of the Prepared Rear Champ's car
Oh yeah, my VW GTI has been down for the past 2 months and has been generally unreliable, so I picked up a new reliable daily driver instead.
