you might be right at the limit, but given enough time, I could potentially adjust it a little for you....it just not on a 'slider' so I can't easily push it back like a normal seat.

Also, where you located? you can always stop by my place in SF and jump in and see how it fits you. I'm getting it re-tuned next week, so it will be a pretty fast car for you by then


@Gancherov, if you can find someone to also go to the school with you, you can split the cost of the car rental....just an idea/option for you.


I will get the rallyX pre-reg stuff going this weekend for people who just want to compete!!

So is $700 the cost of the rental? If I use my own car, what is the price? Are there requirements other than helmets?

Cost for the school (and rally-x entry Sunday) is $345.00
IIRC, the cost of the rental car from Paul Eklund (separate) is $335.00

yeah...but 1/2 the riders have more ***** than skill and will take off next to you on a jump and land on top of you on the landing.

I heard they let baja bikes do stages in some rally's but yeah rallycross would be too short of a course.

I just want to see more time trials in the moto world, since other riders always get in the way, jumping or on singletrack. Kinda like being stuck behind a slow driver on a winding road. It sucks.

I'm going to do the RallyX on Sunday, but not the rally school. I've done Rally schools in Colorado and at Thunderhill but can't really justify the expense right now.

Speaking of Solberg's, I was on an airport shuttle with Henning yesterday- told him I want to see two Solberg's on the podium instead of two Sebastian's, he smiled and said "yeah, I think it will happen"
