That is just about the LAST car I'd have expected to be competitive in Rally Cross. LOL

Big congrats, man!

Congrats. That is just awesome. Setup a project car for fun, compete, and rewarded with 1st place!  That's just all sorts of winning.

Thanks guys!

Just to point out, it isn't rallycross. it was a TSD tour rally.
So car prep is really about just being able to comfortably drive unpaved roads fast and accurately.
big tires allowed me to really not worry about the road conditions (washboard/potholes/etc) and also not having a lot invested in the car helps with the "if i break this car no big deal" attitude which allows for driving pretty aggressively.

That's cool.  Sounds like lots of fun.

awesome, did they do the route all on dirt roads?

yea the local scca does 95% on unpaved roads, there's a couple miles here and there of paved but that's all either transit or free zones (no checkpoints)

Thats sweet.  Can you enter SxS at all?

interesting question. this was an SCCA event and i believe they specifically don't allow SxS on rallyX, which i think a lot of the rules transfer from to TSD, but I'm not sure.
There weren't any for this event, but running windshieldless for an all-day (and some night) event in a michigan winter seems brutal.

nothing too new, just normal miata things like seeing rainbows everywhere

[Cobranut]

Miatas and rainbows, I get it. LMAO
