how does someone start something like this? like where would you start racing and eventually work ur way into big times?

 

i know a guy that rallies...but i don't know if i can't still contact him...but i will try

 

get a scca license
then try rally-x or a tsd rally
then move up into club rally then pro-rally

go to www.i-club.com
register
then pm akuhner
ask the rallymaster how to do it the right way

but getting a scca license and starting with a rally-x should be a good start

 

If you're near washington DC, we have a Performance Rally group and we organize rallycrosses for people to get into the sport. Check www.dcrally.com or email me sumit@snapracing.com and maybe you could come out to our next rallycross on Dec 16th.

Lots of money will help too, if you're jumping right into ProRally.

Racing == expensive

But fun.

 

how do you get a scca license?

 

go to www.scca.org and sign up for one

 

there is actually a few guys on the club that work the pro circut.

Yes. Just buy a rally car. Get one already prepped. Don't build one yourself. Don't go for the fastest car either. Get something inexpensive with plenty of cheap replacement parts available. Then start of with rallycrosses and TSD rallies. Learn the handling of the car and the way to read routebooks. Then when you're comfortable, get into clubrallies. Don't go out to win the first time. This will be the first real test of the car. Once you prove yourself in clubrallies, your seed will be high enough so you will be able to compete in prorally events. Once there, you need to prove yourself, and get good times and then you can bring this to sponsors. Getting sponsorship is very tough in prorally.

Then sometime before your first clubrally, you need to get your license. Last I knew it was $60 from SCCA.

My experience in this is I helped my friend build a rally car from scratch. Yep, big mistake. All the money spent could have bought a proven rally car. He raced it in a few events and did OK till he DNF'ed. So buying a prepared & proven rally car is such a good idea.

It's alot of work, and alot of money, but there is nothing else like it.

P.S.: Tommy B - I'm the one that took that pic of you!

 

awwwww....but that's half the fun!!!

yer right though...it always ends up being more $$$ when you build a car like that.

Yes Hooby. It's a little fun, but the headaches aren't worth it at all!

You do gotta supply your friend with plenty of this too ---->
