I love that the mid Atlantic now host in excess of 30 rallycrosses a year. If you live from NC to NY and are willing to drive 2-6 hours to an event, you can rallycross more weekends then not. There's little reason not to put together a dedicated car for it, if you desire to entry the fray.

Always with the conflicts with autox for me.

November 5th has potential, because driving 3.5 hours for a rallyx is perfectly reasonable.

I kinda think I'm already committed to co-driving a car for that. :)

Good to see some GRM members coming out.

Look for me, I'll be the bearded guy in the sheriff car with 805 on the trunk, probably near the bottom of stock rear.

Just wanted to give this another bump before the weekend.

39 people have pre-registered so far, and looks like almost every class has some competition.

PS: the super 8 in lavale, md is cheaper than the best western being advertised, and only 10 minutes from the venue.

Super 8 and best western are right across the street from each other pretty much. The Super 8 is cheaper but the best western has a better breakfast.

I'll be the guy with a beard driving a miata... She will be driving the miata also.

I think there is a good chance that a bunch of us will end up at henny's in lavale on Saturday night.

Super 8 is cheapest when using my Wyndham rewards points...$0.00. So that's where we'll be :)

I'll be in one of the many e30s, the one with the most stickarz...

So I'm not sure what the paddock area or run groups will be like. I suspect, with the schedule broken into 3 run groups, we'll all work one and drive two.

I'm bringing a 10x10 popup canopy, cooler full of water and Gatorade, and some folding chairs because it's supposed to be 90ish.

This may be a waste of time and space, but after being to a few larger autocross in weather like this and having 20-30+ minutes between runs, I'd prefer to be prepared, and everyone is welcome to come by for drinks and bullE36 M3ting.

On behalf of myself and AHR, I'd like to extend another thank you to the DC region for helping to make today possible. Corey, Jeremy, the other Jeremy, the safety stewards, thank you.

I had an absolute blast running with everyone today, and I'm really looking forward to the next event.

I had an awesome time today! Rally cross is so much fun, and I learned that a E36 328 with a welded diff and rally tires on dirt (Thanks, Jeremy, for letting me thrash your car) handles a lot like my Fairmont on pavement, on R-comps. So much sideways!

Some on-car video from my car. I forgot to turn it on a few times so only have some of my runs.

I would post videos of my runs, but they mostly involved spinning in circles and generally getting my ass kicked

That said, great event, and good times nonetheless. Pretty cool venue.
