    You heard me.

    How about a little bit down the road we host a rally cross event? We invite people out to one of the countless dry lakebeds to the east and we let people loose.

    Normally rallycrosses cost between 40-70 bucks. If we did one that cost 10....we would have quite a few people show up. Anyways if you guys would be interested let me know. This would be after our first meet and once Bras actually takes leadership reigns and gets us officially formed :p

    a dry lakebed is compacted clay or sand like material. The only thing you are going to have to do afterwards is wash your car, and make sure to wash your engine and intake very well.

    LOL, "scrub the floor Cinderella, do the dishes Cinderellla"

    Went to El Mirage near barstow and that was a blast!!! I washed my car three times bcuz of the salt. Twice at the spray wash and once at a car wash place, replaced my cai, filter and cv boot...but it was a great time.

    Hahahaha bras...you are THE BOSS! Im just tryin to spark your ass to get in gear like an old rusty ... spark plug. ...right. :lol:

    Anyways, it IS A BLAST!

    Best way to make it easier on your engine is to get a skid plate, it will help keep a lot of the dirt out of that area.

    Well, I will take a look under the car and see if there is a way to bolt something like that on without welding on anything.

    It would be on a dry lakebed, so it would be rallycross

    As I stated above, its a dry lakebed.

    Also like I stated above, its compacted clay or sand.

    Knowing those two things, you can decide whether or not you want to hang :p
