im lowered like an inch how bad are these roads????

 

lowered an inch? why would you do that!?

I try to keep it on pretty smooth stuff, although some of the things being suggested might not be a lot of fun in a lowered ride.

I do also try to make sure there is a paved alternative to any gravel sections, although there aren't really paved alternates for Usal Road or Mendocino pass.

I have to admit I have my doubts about mendo pass that late in the year, its fine now, I just drove over it today, but up about 6800 feet- there might be snow by mid october.

But last time everyone ventured onto the dirt, so I was hoping that wouldn't put anyone out.

 

well im gonna swap back to my stock springs for the winter months and what a better time to do it then before the run hmmm

 

Here's what Meno pass was looking like today, generally really smooth....

 

see thats all this thread needed was picts, damn i think gravel runs thru my blood, all you sissys lets get out subys dirty and have a few heffies at the camp fire

 

woo hoo. man i hope that the "cast" you pick for that road is pretty fast because i could really hall a$$ on those roads.

Part of going up there is looking for club rally roads, and that one is WAY too fast up along the top, an open class rally car could easily reach triple digits up there, and the surface does change here and there...

but remember rich, we try to do the TSDs for this event on tarmac, the unpaved is all optional "free zone", so as to not disqualify our friends with their garage queens from the timed competition portion of the weekend.

 

I'm probably in as well. I'll just have to wait until a little closer to the date, but it's on my calendar.

I figured you to be wanting to hit the rally-x, so I posted an invite on pre-check trips too.

Oh and if someone wants to do the Rally-x but not the school on Saturday, you might be able to drive up with us then cut across 36 to go back to the valley Saturday night.

 

time to kill another deer!

 

don't think i'll be going... don't have a suby....

 

hey man im tottaly down! i live in nor cal and love drivin in the woods. so this will be a 3 day long thing or what? and i have a quarter mile stretch in chico cali. if uyou guys wanna go smoke some rice adn v8s if so let me know they race every weekend? im reaaly stoked about the trip!

 

sounds promising. I've missed too many rallyX events this year to get a good result, so if I don't have to work, i'd love to come out and play for this.

 

We'll definitely be there...

Oh, btw, Pot...meet kettle (Pleiad didn't sign out, and this is Roo posting)

 

Greg, you and Silke need to get your stuff together. She was blaming you last time just as you blamed her. hehhe

Leo, sorry you can't make it.
Niel, happy to hear you'll be coming
WRXTaxi, welcome to the wonderful world of off-road racing
