IM down to go. SO is this a school or like an event where everyone rallys and has fun and competition as well?
Also, you said you can rent a rally car? How much would that be along with entry and everything else i would need to race? Very interested.

all pricing info on the weekend school and rentals are on Paul's website....AFAIK, my rally car is still up for rent...although, my seat doesn't adjust very well, so you need to be around 5'11", give or take.

it is an open class AWD car though Loaner helmets are available.


Sunday is the RallyX and is open to EVERYONE, but your rally school fee covers your entry into the rallyX.


For non-school peeps, the rallyX will be around $55 w/o any discounts, I haven't figured it all out yet, but nothing out of the ordinary from what I've been doing over the past year.

What are the suspension requirements to do RallX?

I want to try it out, but I've built my car to be stiffer for road courses. Are coilovers not recommended?

is it lowered? stiffer is fine, this isn't a stage rally, its just a dirt lot.

If its lowered, you might tag your front lip a little bit...we usually try to grate any ruts if they form, but no guarantees.

I used to RallyX on PSS9's....which lowered my WRX about an inch, and I was fine.



this was just before a corner, so heavy braking....my car looks slammed on PSS9s

I met Paul Eklund about 10 years ago at Rim. I was 20 or so and I didnt take much initiative on rally. I should have.

Oh well, better late than never.
