StallionProject86 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Now I know this is a little far out but what dream isn't right.? So, for the past few years I have been really captivated by the grip/drift scene.. More recently though rally and auto x has really been overwhelming my thoughts. I've looked into the requirements + restrictions associated with rally and they are very much within reason to my surprise. Anyway what I'm getting at does anyone here have experience, knowledge, or tips on operations to get started? (aside from being well funded) There is a rally school in Washington I found which will most likely be in my future and I'm sure to learn much more about things. . But, as of right now I'm taking in as much as I can scrape up. Not looking to do this professionally at the moment but I would like the door to be unlocked. Still not positive on which I'd prefer more but I don't think it'll hurt to get some guidance from those experienced whether it be on the dirt or asphalt.

NikoFab Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I've dabbled in auto x and if you do it right...it can cost less than you might think. You may want to PM convette...he's in the scene and would be able to help you I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyquest Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Do some searching on here, others have asked this same question and had some good information given. I seem to remember a lot of it was about getting the car to the point where it would qualify for rally events. Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convette Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Biggest thing is knowing what you want to do so that you can build a car accordingly, so it will abide by all the rules and regs. Also very important when choosing this class before hand to ensure that you can be competitive. For example, I want to run in Redline Time Attack, but as the rules are (cut firewall) I'd be in the unlimited class putting me against cars that I have no chance of catching. ....for now. hahaRight away though, a cage would be first thing in order, check all the rules carefully and build yourself one that applys to the sanction. Most likely, anything thats good for rally is more than enough for anything on the road. It really depends on what you want to focus on. For me I love road racing, but I also love drifting.. When I road race, I want to dedicate the car to it and go completely off the deep end.... then I go drifting, and want to do the same.. lol You can build a car that will be good at everything, but can dominate nothing. If I were you I would get out to as many events as possible, (theres one every weekend, year round) and it will give you a better feel for what you want to focus on.

Shelby Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 as with any hobby these days having a job that pays you enough to be able to do the things you want to do is paramount , next is having the time, then skill to do most of the work your self dang near any thing is a lot of money these days , for many years I fished almost every week end ,today that costs nearly $75 - $100 a day to hit the water for a day , that's out these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jszucs Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Yeah if your thinking running in anything like SCCA check out the classing. They all tally points diffrent and class diffrent. For someone starting out BONE STOCK. The second you mod anything it gets nuts. Also choose a car that is BONE STOCK the best for the class..... IE say like a mini S would be one of the best in it's class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
