Does anybody actually compete in rallies here in the US?
If,yes what kind of rally are you competing in, TSD, Prorally, Gimmick Rally, etc?

that's me!!!!!! Maybe in a couple years

www.scca.org look up ProRally and Club Rally. Check your local club for rally X schedule.

Here is one coming up in May www.rimoftheworldrally.com Lots o fun!

I can't wait to tear up some WRX's :headbang2

i've been doing it for a few years now. me and a few friends have some stages that we run through country roads out here. it's pretty crazy w/out a trial run/navigator.

Were in Indy (outside of Indy) do you run. I would be interested in running some times.

I do most of my racing up in lafayette/west lafayette(Purdue). That's where i'm originally from and most of my friends still live there. Where do you race in indy and what do you roll? Do you do the autox they have down there? I've got a few friends who go down there for that.

are you racing the VW GTI?

most of the time. the GTI is basically a race car. you wouldn't believe how those things hug the turns(this coming from a person who's owned 5 BMW's). if we pick out an all road(no dirt/gravel/snow) and i'm feelin good, then i'll take out the M for a few times.

any mods on that monster? I used to drive a normal GTI in Europe, but isn't the VR6 more potent? I really don't know - not much of a VW insider.

there was no vr6 on the mkII's. it was just the 8v and 16v. it's basically a rebuilt 1.8Lbottom w/a 2.0Ltop. TT catback, headers, intake, springs, struts short throw, perf. linkage, bbs 16"...etc. basically nothing is stock except the interior(black/red recarros ) it's all natual though. dynapak gave me 188hp@the wheels w/167lb/ft torque. It runs low 5's 0-60.

My friend competes in Pro Rally (when he has the $$$). I'd love to co-drive for him, but I get insanely car sick. There is just no way I'd be able to do it. I crew chief for him. Car always breaks tho. I don't take the blame, I didn't build it!

what car is he competing in? is he any good?
