Thats awesome. Grandview speedway is about 20 minutes from where I live when I'm not at school, and from what I've heard its a fairly nice place.

Maple grove raceway is the drag strip located in Reading. Never been there yet but I've heard good things. Grandview speedway is South of Allentown about a half an hour or maybe a little bit more on route 100.

oh thats not that far! that would be cool...hell soon i may have my weekends off!! i cant wait!...i might actually be able to make it one of these things after all!

If I weren't already planning to go to Pittsburgh the following week I'd come up and watch if others were participating. Too bad, maybe next year.

^ they have that kind of stuff all the time...


the last time one of my friends from work went...he took a vid of him driving some guys lotus! pretty bad arse!! he said that some people watch you and if you know how to drive they let you drive their cars!! that would be crazy! or atleast a ride along :D

[cobase]

Aww.. I'd totally be there if I didn't care about my powertrain warranty. Out of sheer curiosity... how much is the entry fee for non-members? I know.. I mean heard it was like $50 for the DC region RallyX, but I can't find it for the PA one.

Oh and if one has the Tib rear sway bar but no other modifications at all, is it really STS or can it just stay in stock FWD? Are they strict? I know the DC region didn't care. Didn't care about ABS/TCS either although it probably didn't help much in dust.

[Cypher]

i think its free to watch. don't quote me on that one tho.

[cobase]

Oh, it's $50 on the registration form I just ...stumbled across.

[Cypher]

50 bux to register and race, not to watch.

[jcr557]

yea its $50 to race and free to watch. i see an elantra on the pre-registered list, that you? any part you add to the car like that you can buy at the dealer will keep you in stock class or atleast thats what i've heard but in rallycross there is no sts class its either fwd, rwd, awd and stock or non-stock

[jcr557]

anyone gonna come out?

[cobase]

The site says the event will be cancelled in case of rain, and the forecast is showers and thunderstorms all Sunday. So... I'll keep looking at it, but it's not looking likely now...
