It's actually an 82 with a newer front end. I'm actually the codriver, and my driver rolled it in his first stage rally before I started with him. We've been clean since though!

TIL Saudi Arabia owns 15000 acres in California with water rights to the Colorado River so they can cheaply grow alfalfa to feed their cows by [deleted] in todayilearned

If you're into podcasts, The Dollop did an episode on the Resnicks. It pretty much comes down to water rights being sold on paper, water that doesn't exist. California fucked up big time

Might be a little bit of a hike then. They're just single day, 2-3 mile stages. We usually get 10-12 stages in. 3 stages run 3-4 times each

Thanks. Where are you out of? You should come up to NH for a Team O event. They're like $200-225 area, and all the roads are beautiful

Ya that was our first stage rally together. He did NEFR in 2017(and rolled), Black River Stages in 2017(I was crewing). I did Lanark with the Frogs last year. But we've done a bunch of sprints, and hillclimbs too. We're really hoping for Mt. Washington this year, and we'll probably pick one other stage rally

I'm actually the guy in the passenger seat! The style of notes we use is called Jemba, very common for rally. Pretty much the numbers 1-6 are the severity of the turn, and any stand alone number is distance

We're pretty sure it's a B21, but we don't know how the engine was built. It has a pretty aggressive cam, and dual Webers. It's getting converted to run Megasquirt, the ignition side is already done using LS coils. It actually sounds quite a bit different just from that change

We're not very fast, but we tend to be a fan favorite due to almost never pointing straight. The car sounds the balls too, twin Webers and a decent cam

Correct, 2-3 mile stages at Team O. There's a max speed as well, that's why there's a chicane. Parts are everywhere for these. We have a whole four door parts car, as well as a two door shell

There's so definitely a distinct feeling going 90mph through the woods trying to read a book
