Default Representin' the make at our first rallycross

If you have never tried rallycross, do it. It kicks ***. I managed the highest-placing Honda, 3rd in class out of 18 and 5th overall out of 34. One-wheel drive power! This was THSCC's first rallycross, and results can be seen at http://www.thscc.com/rallycross/events/index.html.

I only lost to 2 guys with honest SCCA club rally experience driving a 1WD neon and a 2WD sentra respectively. This was my 2nd rallycross.

Here's a pic:

Congrats. Old street beater Hondas do great at rallycross. I had an junkyard refugee '89 CRX that was stock other than a set of KONIs and stock springs on the highest perch settings to raise it about 3/4 inch above stock. I took FTD and 2nd FTD in the two rallycrosses I ran with it beating awd cars, buggys, etc. of course it was fun making the "trailer queen" comments as they loaded their dirty cars back on trailers and I just pulled out on the street in my daily driver.

If I can make a suggestion, this helped me a lot. If you are on a dirt course like a farm field that tends to get chewed up and deep from spinning tires in middle and end of corners then usually there is a harder packed section of dirt at the very insdde of the corners by the cones where all of the loose dirt has been taken from. While the transported dirt on the outside of the corners gets deep and fluffy from being churned and airated, taking a slightly slower, tight line on the harder inside dirt will get you traction and out of the corner quickly. Although bashing into the fludd spitting rooster tails id fun, it is certainly slower than being tight and tidy like everything else.

Have fun, the rallycrosses in our area came and went a few years ago so we don't get to play anymore.
