OT: Went To SCCA Rally Cross Today, man those guys go slow!!! Options

[Bruce Allert]

Accompanied my wife (Kathleen) to a Corgi (dog) function at the Hillsboro fair grounds. As we were turning into the fair grounds I notice a bunch of cars playing in a field on a muddy track. I thought "Whoa!" I gotta see this. Anyway, I went into the dog thing (for awhile (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ) paid my respects, then, while kathleen was deep in conversation with another Corgi lover I excused myelf to have a look at this "fun muddin'" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif)
Turns out it's the PNW Region SCCA Rally Group. Must'a been 30 cars with more on the way.

I had to laugh at the high revs of the engines but the slowness of their speed. That track was slick. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) It's done in a grassy field, cones layed out just like AX and then, if it isn't wet enough, they have a water truck spray water to make it slicker! There were some really good drivers. It's like a drifting contest. You have to know when to start the cars turn before the turn and straighten it out at the right time... and let the MUD FLY (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

Here's a pic to a WRX. It wasn't all 4 wheel or all wheel drives. Alot of them were Datsun 210's & other stuff like that. TTOD was by an old datsun or nissan with short wave antenas on the roof!!! Looks like fun (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
