Sperry, Rally is the harshest event by far. no question

RallyCross Is not Rally .

I've also driven rutted out , wash board roads that are Crazy harsh (i think this is why my struts make wierd noises now) that's also not rally cross, nor can one use to gauge what he surface is like.

Just look at the videos i posted, and compare that to Squaws AutoX
Also note how the video i posted, looks nothing like WRC footage..

I know you went to the Squaw even last year. don't you remember how that one kid broke off his front lip spoiler? how there were some gnarly Ups and downs?

Sorry Nick no in car videos from me. searching on youtube for Thunderhill rallycross might find some though. I could maybe try to find contact info for some of the guys who went last year. i know one of them had in car footage.

As far as i know, the only members here to ever rally cross are, Ansel and I.

Hey Ansel, which surface was harsher, T-hill RallyX site, or Squaw's autoX ??

good Call Brian, although i posted up earlier that I do drive pine nuts i just miss spelled it at "pin nuts" :LOL:

the rallycross surface is very much like driving on Pine nuts road. It is not like driving on johnson lane to sunset pass. perhaps brian could describe how rough of a ride pine nuts road is (its not rough)

This does not mean its for everyone. Not everyone wants to spin wheels and drift around in the dirt. not everyone wants to travel 2 hours and stay in a hotel. But if the sole reason a member is thinking of skipping this event, is they are worried its Mad Ruts and Rocks, then rest assured, its not. rally cross is open to 100% stock cars and they take that into consideration when designing the course.

the crappiest of CD players , would not skip while driving at the Thill site

Of course i don't know much about suspension, so maybe driving on dirt (even dirt as smooth as pavement) will cause springs to break and dampers to crack open shooting out oil. Never seen that happen, but maybe that would be the case. /sarcasm

Also BTW in the 10 rally crosses i've been to, i've never seen a roll over. I've only heard of one guy ever rolling over and it was in some Raised up truck, never heard of a sedan rolling over.
