I'm looking at paying WAY TOO MUCH (sorry Adam and Noah- i shoulda had you guys do this) to get my front bearings/hubs replaced

Driving the **** out of a WRX isn't proving to be cheap in the long run although I gotta say I'm amazed at what its put up with this far.

Safety check this weekend, (don't want to lose any cars on this one) but I have to wonder...WHERE ARE YOU RALLY CROSS GUYS??

If you are an aspiring club ralliest, or enjoy rally cross you should definetly be down for this- 2 days, 400 miles, 200 of them on gravel, and nearly 200 "ATC"'s where you don't have an entire minute- you need to hit them on your hundreth.

Apart from high speed handling, most of your performance rally skills will be called upon- driver/co-driver communications, reading the routebook, and arriving "on time" not to mention the endurance aspects involved in running 11 hours Saturday and another 6 on Sunday.

As a bonus, a couple of the top TSD competitors in the northwest are signed up, so it's a chance to meet and learn from some old hands, and who knows, you might wind up beating one of them!

I'll be working this one!

If all goes well and I stumble on a co-driver, I could participate in the next one.

¿Are there any worker meetings planned?
¿Do workers need to arrange rooms or camp sites?

Wanted: Co-Person

Anyone looking for a co-driver? I would be driving, but the guy that would be my co-driver's going out of town. For that matter, anyone want to be my co-driver?

It should be noted that I have no experience beyond one of the rallyschool/rallcross things at Thunderhill last year, but I'm up for trying anything.
