I came in with caution. Lots of guys talk about bringing there daily drivers out to rally-x. Lots of guys drive 100hp 2WD cars. Lots of people drive brand new Subaru’s. My experience is that stuff breaks. Prior to this…

Andrew’s a professional writer, so I hate to scribble on his paper. He’s busy though and I’m on a break. This will be brief. I’ve wondered sometime now, about building a truck or SUV for going fast off road. The…
I Got Your Camera
Sunday, December 11th, 2011
This is a tease. I finally made it to RallyX. Event #1 was cancelled due to 140km/h winds. Event #2 came and went while I was at home loading up tools and doing a mechanical once over… but I wasn’t…
Rally-x In Our Absence – FF Win
Saturday, January 12th, 2008Eric took FTD at the auto-x on Sunday that neither Andrew or I made it to… with the broken car. This is significant, not because Andrew or I could have taken it from him, but because he did it in…
Rally-X Again
Monday, December 17th, 2007
Winter auto-x number 2. Wow this puts a beating on cars. Andrew’s Legacy isn’t bomb proof by any means… but it’s a Subaru, and because of that… it has a lot going for it in terms of being ready…
Back to Gravel and… Snow
Monday, December 3rd, 2007
Winter auto-x was solid. Andrew’s driving has come a long way… and he made me really worried. I think he even beat me in the morning. No disrespect to Andrew… but there’s just a huge advantage that comes with all my extra experience, and even though I’m using his daily driver, I feel like I shouldn’t have any problems putting a better time down. False. Given that neither of us have done anything competitive in motorsports for almost a year… it was challenge enough just to get into the mindset of going fast. Walking the course seemed more like routine than something useful in the end. We just couldn’t think about the typical dilemmas faced at auto-x. Some guys will say… “competition… at winter auto-x?” [...]
Co-Driving the BC6 at Rally-x
Monday, February 12th, 2007
Rally-x again yesterday. Andrew’s BC6 is coming nicely. STRD threw on his CES 3″ turbo back on Thursday (we were never going to get around to it) and some tune-up parts were added by us on Saturday. It didn’t like rev’s much before, and we always ended up shifting way before the limiter… but now, it sneaks up fast, and you wish it would rev higher. [...]
