Other than studded tires, you can run anything you want. Even slicks if you're so inclined.

 

what type of damage to my car can I expect????? I run lowering springs and 18" rims with Kuhmo Excsta tires....I really want to try this.

 

i say get some stock wheels and throw some cheap 40 dollar rally tires on them... oh yeah you might wanna pick up some rallyarmor mudflaps... protect that paint!

 

Are you planning to use the regular rallyx plot of land for the national? Or maybe the rallyx school land or some other place?

 

I'm definately up for it, am I best to keep on my 18" p45's and kuhmo's or shall I put back on my stockers and re-92's?????

plus, what motel are people staying in???

Glen.

 

Yup, same land as the regular rallyx events. Hopefully we can squeeze more space out into the motocross area where it's still flat. Thunderhill only gives us the
"school" side of the road once a year due to well/drainage issues they are concerned with.

 

You'd probably want to run stockers and RE92s to keep your p45s nice and shiny. Either way you'd want to bump up the pressure to strengthen the sidewalls.

Rally tires are certainly the best you can do, but most people run with stock tires (ie, we've had plenty of STis with RE070s) and they still have fun.

Here is the complete list of hotels in the area:

Call them direct and ask for the "Thunderhill rate" - most people tend to stay at the Best Western, but the Amerihost is a bit more posh.

 

The site at Thunderhill is about as nice as you'll find for rallyx - mostly flat, hard clay. Some ruts can form over the day though, and over the years a few plastic skid plates have been claimed. With lowering springs you could haul *** through most of it... but could always have the option to slow a bit if a corner gets torn up. If you're lowered AND have a lip or those STi corner splitters... that may be pushing it.

18s and Ecstas are ok though, you'll just need to air up since you don't have much side wall support. Yeah, rally tires are ideal (or other M+S rated with strong sidewalls) but like I said above most people are stock, lots with tarmac tires, and you can still have a lot of fun.
