Rally-x uses much different rules. Tires are one of the big things for classing. Basically here you'd run FWD, RWD or AWD Stock, FWD, RWD or AWD Prepared- if you're lightened but you still need dot legals and Special if you're running non dots.

I have a set of 10 year old dirt stockers in the basement that worked VERY well when we rallied ours last year. If you wanna pay for shipping and time and effort I'll send 'em to ya. We've simply determined you can't cross over from a prepared racer to rallyx for a weekend though. It hurts the car and the driver too much.

agreed
one of our guys has an IT golf that he would convert to rally-x spec at end of race season...even he bought another golf so he wouldnt have to go through all that....

i have yokohama rally tires in my shed...i just havent sourced wheels yet...

thankyou though for the offer!!



i need to test-fit wheels before i buy them......i need 15" steelies....

but i will likely need either spacers or clearance the calipers(or both) to make them work...

just havent had time
"she who must be obeyed" ie: wifey is insistent the house reno gets farther along before i spend toooo much time on the car....

lol

hell, i'm running in the top 3 - 4 after only my second event in the car using WALMART snow tires!!!!

hehehehe
and handily winning my class.....

i wonder where i'll be with some proper rubber??!?!

i cant wait !

(i use too many exclamation points...)
lol
