My only question though, is how well can the FWD MSP compete aganst AWD vehicles?
I don't believe it would be classed w/ the awd cars in SCCA rally cross, so that's really irrelevant
Last time I looked into it, they generally split the cars into 4 classes:
2WD stock
2WD Mod
4WD stock
4WD mod/open
This is from memory, and it's been a while, so don't hold it against me if I'm off a bit!
And I've discovered a Rallycross event eairly next month up here. Any ideas for car setup? Or just treat it like a Solo II event and try to have fun?
Treat it like your
first Solo II event, only add in the fear of destroying your car! Take it slow, recognize that you don't know what you're doing, and that the penalties for screwing up may be way higher than they ever have been before. The first event is a learning experience, not a competition!
Don't think, BTW that I'm trying to scare you out of this, frankly, the danger to your car varies wildly depending on how they set up events where you live. I've heard of SCCA rallycrosses being held in a gravel parking lot, so the risk was no greater than that of a Solo II event, but in the D.C. Region it was done on a dirt track someone cut into a field on their farm, and while it was a nice wide, smooth dirt road, in accordance with SCCA rules, if you went at it too hard and too fast, you
could potentially
leave the road surface, and then all bets are off!
So, do it. Have fun, just be careful.
