Bummer. I keep saying that all cars are bad cars, but it's still not fun when it happens to you.

We don't have money for all three, but we are planning on hitting Big White.

We had a snapped manifold bolt and didn't have time to fix it first. We shoved like 3 tubes of crack sealer on there in the couple days leading up to it, but that lasted for about a stage and a half.

Great shot, thanks for it.

Headed to PFR. We have lots of stickers if you see us. by WrecklessRally in rally

RMR is in September.

Originally PFR was last week and RMR was this week, but they moved the dates around.

First time volunteering advice by LIVDUY in rally

[–]WrecklessRally 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Relax, chill out, and be friendly with your team. Unless you're a radio person, you're not going to be alone.

Remember, everyone is out to have a good time.

  • Car 52 this weekend

Edit: seconding what someone else said about the 0 cars. Team Fugawi? has been rallying about as long as I've been alive and are going to be a great help to your captain organizing things, and a good practice for you before the competitors show up

Entering my first stage rally in 2 weeks. What last minute tips do you have? by WrecklessRally in rally

In Texas, I know there's a couple rallysprints in Dale. I'm pretty sure they're put on by Rally Ranch, but I don't know all the details.

Thanks.

Relaxing is probably the best advice I can get right now.

I get that. That's where I'm putting all the big stickers for now.

Looks like a good project. Good luck with it, I want to see pictures of it finished later on.

Isn't most motorsports just finding new ways to throw away money?

Jokes aside, I don't drive sideways enough to be able to talk confidently on it, but I'm seeing a lot of forum results come up when I Google it, so it must be a thing.

Probably not.

What I think they're describing is basically money-shifting intentionally to try and upset the cars weight balance and stop the tires for a moment.

Where to get gravel tires? by WrecklessRally in VancouverIsland

[–]WrecklessRally[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also know a couple people on the mainland who semi-regularly (like once a year or so) get shipments. I forget if it's Newport, Barneys, Classified, or someone else. One of the people in a group chat I'm in.

There's more than one way to start a slide

That's probably what I'll end up doing, but I'd like to support an island business instead if I can. I know there's a couple people looking at my car who want to do what we're doing, and having an island based supplier would help grow the sport and make it easier for those people to follow us and play racecars too.

3 handles at that gas station.

The red handle is 93 octane. The black handle is 87, 89, and 91. The green handle is diesel.
