I would think the 'burb would require less work than anything else in your yard. :lol:

I stopped by the redneck resort last month & was suprised to find it only open for special events. I can't believe you can't just show up, pay a fee, and have some fun whenever your schedule allows. I can't imagine you need much of a staff to have open 7 days a week. This was a sunny Sunday, BTW.

I drive by the Redneck Resort every day on the way to/from work. It seems to be open sporatically. Some weekends it's open, most it is not. You can tell by the amount of mud on Hwy 68 :)

I'm in. Just gotta find some tires before then... the RA1's aren't going to do much on dirt :? This will be a good way to get rid of my stock suspension.

Who is in charge of this thing?

Wanting to know if I can run a Mistubishi Mighty Max. It's as low as a car, so a high CG is not an issue.

I was also wondering if side by side atv's are allowed and other things like tube chassis buggys.

Read thru section 6 of the RallyCross rules here


is a windshield required? Yes. But in modified you can have a lexan windshield as long as you have a roll cage that meets the Improved Touring road race specs. Also in modified you can run without side and rear windows if you have door window nets. Windows on driver and passenger-if you have a passenger- must be up, (at most 1" down) or you can have door window net.
are cracks [in the windshield] allowed?As long as crack [in the windshield] doesn't hamper your ability to see out.
what about fenders?Yes for stock and prepared. Modified the car must remain recognizable as that of the make and model

searching for a disposable car to enter, but need to know what to pass on as soon as practical If its safe enough to drive on the street, as in battery is held in tight, brakes work, throttle returns-doesn't hang open, and the wheels wont fall off you are basicly good to go.

I'm thinken Enterprise they come and pick you up. Plus you'll have time to stop at Juan's used tire shop and have a set of tractor grip tires installed. And since they pick you up I'll bet The'll get you home once the car is in the pond. How easy is that. :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

You should not have any trouble as long as the truck is not lifted. I would love to see more trucks run.
