As I already wrote: I understand why many people don't go. Distance, Hotel, driving on a ~ Squaw Surface on a car setup for smooth pavement can cause damage.
Any motor sport has dangers, I was at Hawthorne when a fellow autocrosser got injured. Hell anytime you step into a car you are taking a risk of injury and/or death.
Yes Sybir your last post is dead on.
its not Rally, but its still a motor sport, damage can happen, people could be hurt. I've seen cars break down at autocrosses and rally cross could (and given enough time, events, exposure) Will cause the same thing. (its a motor sport)
I have a hard time believing the very limited event sites I've personally seen would cause chassis damage, but going over anything that's not glass smooth has to cause wear and tear on components, and that includes the chassis.
but really, Why can't everyone bit a bit more pithy about it ?
Also I was only talking about this 1 event site that i have a lot (relatively) of personal experience with.
edit to clarify
No Scott, (no other rallyXers are like me, getting all worked up cause someone pushed their buttons just right) I'm just an easy target for you
and you continue to have the ability and the desire to do so. But If i wasn't i'm sure you would have banned me long ago.
and on occasion i have fun with it too
I also really really hope i didn't Jinx this up coming event talking about how its comparable to autocross in terms of safety.
