So after a very hectick morning of rushing around and getting last minute things done i got to the rallycross at like 9:02 and registration was from 8-9, but i preregistered online so they didnt have a problem with me being there a few minutes late. I barely passed tech, yesterday i had the battery out of the car and the bolt for the tie down broke off in the core support so i had to do some rigging there and all i have are lap belts in the car right now but according to their website thats all thats required so i was able to run. The other bad thing is that i got a little overzealous and ripped the whole interior out as soon as i got the car and because of that i couldnt run in stock class i had to run mod2 (modified 2 wheel drive) oops

. Its a little different then autox, first off after the drivers meeting everyone takes a slow parade lap to get a feel for the layout of the course, and secondly instead of running in the morning then working the track in the afternoon (like autox) they divide everyone into two groups and both groups run once in the morning and once after lunch. Thirdly, the scoring is different, we got a total of 6 runs for the day and they take all six runs and add them together (cones are +2 sec and missed gates are +10) so instead of one good run its all your runs for the whole day against everyone elses. Despite being in mod2 I still had a ton of fun, learned a lot, and didnt come in last place! I ended up coming in 9th out of 13, not great, but not bad for my first rally in a stock car running mod. I had a few good runs and was getting faster as the day went on, but i only had 2 runs where i didnt hit a cone or two. I had a friend snapping some pics and i took a few of the other cars there....ill try to get them up on here in the next few days.
