Glen Helen I: “Follow the White Rabbit” April 3-4, 2010

Rev it up for an Easter weekend of racing! Why hunt for eggs when you can tear up the dirt? Glen Helen I is going to be another epic weekend of Rally X action. Why? Because the Triple Chase format is back, that’s why. :D For those of you not in the know, the Triple Chase features you against two others on the same course to produce close competition and intense thrills!

There are some big changes in 2010 for Glen Helen. The first and biggest change is that both the GH races this year are going to be 2 day events. Saturday is going to be a practice day (no event timing provided) and Sunday is race day. GH is featuring 6 laps on race day instead of the traditional 4. This means more seat time for you! Entries capped at 45 to ensure everyone gets the 6 laps. The pricing structure has also changed for 2010.

Race Entry Fee’s: $80 Day of / walk up

Practice Day: $10 / lap or $40 for 5 laps
(One free lap for CRS or SCCA members who pre reg + pre pay for race day)

Pre reg is now CLOSED. There are still 13 spots open for walk up registration on the day of the event.

Note: This is an SCCA sanctioned and insured event. As such, you must be an SCCA member to participate. If you are not a member, weekend memberships are available for $5.

For the practice day, cash is king. No checks or Paypal accepted

For the practice day and walk up registrations, cash is king. No checks or Paypal accepted

Prizes

In the event of a sell out, the 1st place winner of each class will be awarded $60 CASH!! Minimum 4 competitors per class.

Sparco (www.sparcousa.com (http://www.sparcousa.com)) will provide a small prize for the winner (or 2nd place if we sell out) for each class. Thanks Sparco!! :mrgreen:

sounds good dave look forward to it as always and like i told you yesterday anything you need i'm there

[ZED E85]

are you going to be using SCCA for the mojority of the events this year?...Just wondering if it would be worthwhile to pay for a yearly membership


BTW...how much is a SCCA membership down here?

[Newk_Rally]

i was talking to dave yesterday and he suggested that i got an scca membership it looks like they will all be scca except ridgecrest which is going to be nasa dave correct me if i'm wrong

[rollo]

Nice one Dave!

[409industries]

ohhh damn its ON!

[WAM]

Not to discourage anyone from joining SCCA, but no, you're not likely to break even with the $5 discounts. You have to join and pay a fee both to the national body and a region. SoCal, you would normally choose between San Diego Region, and California Sports Car Club. I think I paid maybe $70 between the two fees this year. Students get a huge discount though.

[Rally OBXT]

are you going to be using SCCA for the mojority of the events this year?...Just wondering if it would be worthwhile to pay for a yearly membership


BTW...how much is a SCCA membership down here?

SCCA charges $65 for a membership. On top of that, Cal Club (the regional chapter) charges $25, for a total of $90. Kinda pricy, but if you do Auto X and Rally X, it's well worth it.

The SCCA is going to provide insurance and sanction for Glen Helen, Cal City, and the West Coast Champ race @ Lake Elsinore. There may even be a few more events with SCCA.

So that means there are 4-6 races in So Cal alone (don't forget about Nor Cal races). The only venues that are using NASA this year are Ridgecrest and maybe Tombstone (I don't know what's going on over there quite yet).

So weather you join or not is up to you. Just a side note, if you guys are going to join the SCCA, please PM me and I will give you my SCCA member number for the referral program. It's good for $15 off your membership fee.

[geekmonster]

kewl! hey dave, can i pay you in $1 bills? i'm taking on a stripper job to make some extra cash.........

[davec]

Bill, I couldn't find an SCCA student discount (yes I'm 30 and I'm still a student, don't ask), but there is a $35 discount for military. Do you know where the student discount is listed?

[bue car]

[Tommy Gun Rally]

WOW, SCCA got expensive. San Diego region is cheaperr than Cal Club I think.

Anyhoo, i'll roll through Sat night for the camping, lounge in a lawnchair all Sunday recovering while you young-uns race.

Who's gonna be the one to get me off my dirtbike in the middle of the night bombing through the gullies waking everyone up?:)

Man you guys are harsh. Im stayin home. :)

[Rally OBXT]

Bump for updated map!!

My goal is for the course to be about 1 mile long. This means with 6 laps, you will be racing for a total of 6 miles!! :twisted:

[kmount]

I signed up....Lets Play!

[Tommy Gun Rally]

that map looks like the cars could come pretty close to eachother..... :D

dave if you really want to go nuts, call the Glen Helen people and rent out the practice course for the off road trucks. they do test and tune days out there all the time, with graded lanes, jumps and everything. it would be a lot more expensive per person, but it would take rallycrossing to a new level (R4-like racing).

Nah, the spacing worked out OK at the last GH where I did a course like this. I don't see why this would be any different.

As for renting out the short course track, I am all for it. But there seems to be a lack of people who want to jump and race their rally cars side by side. I have been down that road before.

[Tommy Gun Rally]

The lanes they use are wide enough to put a dirt curb down the middle - people would be able to run their street cars.

Just thinking outloud.

[Rally OBXT]

Make it happen Captain! :p My hands are full.

[bue car]

woot jumps!

[SoCalBoomer]

we've done 4-wide before, several times, and there's plenty of space between. :D

Dave, that looks friggin awesome! I'm lookin for sweet photog spots! :)

btw - here's a "treasure map" to GH:

[Thresham]

Would a weekend SCCA Membership be required for doing only practice runs on the Saturday? I sure hope not....

I may do some practice runs, but doubt I'll race in the event too. Can't afford to break anything quite yet. Either way I'll at least try to come out and watch/support ya all.

[Rally OBXT]

SCCA membership required for both days.

[Thresham]

Ah. Well does this mean the classes will be based on SCCA rules, or FRX? I remember the last SCCA race i did in Johnson Valley had me up against modified STI's on Rally tires. Don't exactly remember why.

[lminette]

Because in SCCA classes Modified is allowed to run rally tires. The classing will still be CRS/FRX classing for these events though. SCCA classing is just silly!!

[SoCalBoomer]

Ah. Well does this mean the classes will be based on SCCA rules, or FRX? I remember the last SCCA race i did in Johnson Valley had me up against modified STI's on Rally tires. Don't exactly remember why.

the last SCCA race at JV co-classed/co-scored since it was also an FRX/CRS event.

We don't typically agree with SCCA's allowing snows in stock and rally in prepared and no accommodation for Street Mod so we exercise our regional prerogative and use CRS classes (as we feel it is more appropriate to our tradition and our area). :eek:

No intent to bash SCCA. Carry on. :D

[rollo]

Not that this would ever happen on DI :roll: but if there is a desire to discuss any further the merits of SCCA vs CRS rallycross classing, please read this entire thread first:

http://www.dirtyimpreza.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11922

And carry it on if you must.

[Rally OBXT]

As stated above, this race will use regional CRS classes. Any "National" races locally will have to use SCCA classes though.

[409industries]

Awesome! I can't wait for Glen Helen.

Eli... you should run the focus anyway. You drive just fine hungover. I've seen it.

Ill be making it for just the day on saturday I have family from san diego staying for easter so Saturday will be my day of fun. So if I got this right, if I wanna take a couple practice laps I'll need to be a member of SCCA? If I only intend on doing california events which member would be best for me? Ive heard of a couple different ones.

[Rally OBXT]

Yes you need to be an SCCA member for Saturday and / or Sunday. It's only $5 buck though, so it's not a big deal.

[snaggleto0th]

Yes you need to be an SCCA member for Saturday and / or Sunday. It's only $5 buck though, so it's not a big deal.

Oh SCHWEET!!!:headbang: Can count me in for a few practice laps on Saturday then!! This would be a offical first rallyX event I would be at so it'll be a freakin BLAST. Now I hope nothing comes and gets in my way of making the trip(seems like every event I try to make something HAPPENS). Im knocking on wood for this event!!

[bue car]

meh soo far away :) hurrry!

[snaggleto0th]

I know! My car will be done by then so I'll have to go, got some subie buddies from around my area that are down to go to the event as well! Can we just time travel to this date? lol

[geekmonster]

dave, met with someone about what we talked about. will have more info either tomorrow or friday night. what time is good to call you?

[Rally OBXT]

anytime

[bzzbee2]

I just checked the FRX website... I couldn't help noticing that i somehow won 1st place last year in SM4. I would like to thank those that did the math on this one!

That being said, I have no plans for that weekend in April. I just might have to come out there.

[rollo]

Join CRS this year and you'll get a nice big trophy for a similar performance :)

[lminette]

Hold on a tick? Dave went to Novemberfest but he has no points?

[lminette]

I think the points that went under Tony were supposed to be under Dave. Looked at the Novemberfest results and Tony isn't listed there!

[bue car]

this noob has no clue what you guys are huffin about.

i won first place.. my mommie told me so!

[lminette]

^^^ Wow!!! I bet your mommie told you you weren't adopted too?!! LOL

[bzzbee2]

I want my dam trophy!!! I got 1st place for *&$k's sake. Maybe on of those cool adult movies and some gift certs from some vendor...

[Azewaldo]

[bzzbee2]

I just might do that... Although im not sure if I will have the evo much longer. I have been pondering selling it for a while now.

The only reason I didn't register last year is because they wouldn't let me register for CRS during the first glen-helen and also gain points from that event. (I could register but that event would not have counted...:-x)

[Rally OBXT]

Ha!! Tony did NOT take 1st place in FRX, it's a scoring error. I just talked to Mike about it. The site will be updated soon. There are also a few other errors he is going to correct.

As for the course looking like a giant cock, I am trying to get people to drive faster in that area to get the hell outta there!!

I know a few rally chicks though who might slow down...:lol2:

[GIS_WRX]

So I'll be coming back from Europe while this is going on :(

but since there is a need for more prereg...if there is a first timer out there who hasn't made up their mind, if you prereg compete both days and show me proof I'll give you $100 to cover expenses. I've offered this half a dozen times and never been taken up on it which is shocking and sad.

Anyways, prereg after this post as a first timer, show me your scores n stuff and make $100 and possible prize money.

Oh and it's only for one person so it's who let's me know first. I'll pm them back saying they are the one.

[Rally OBXT]

Wow man, very nice offer! Someone do this!

[eric_m48]

One more entered and paid.

[Pretendingtowork]

The anticipation is killing me. I hope this happens. I can't wait for my first rallyx event and I pulled a bunch of strings to make this happen for me. If getting my wife not to b***h at me for racing on Easter wasn't enough, I even got my mom to watch my son for the weekend.

More people need to sign up and make this happen!!!!

[Rally OBXT]

Woot!! 19 people so far! :headbang:

[GIS_WRX]

Sorry man, trying to get people who hadnt signed up yet to jump the fence and register so that the event can happen.

[snaggleto0th]

GIS_WRX if I have my car by then and didnt have my grandma from san diego visiting for easter I would probably race and take your offer! But my family comes first to most of things and I havent seen my gma since my gpa passed away last year. MAYBE for the next rallyx this year ;)

The obvious solution to this is to have your grandparents compete too :mrgreen:

Ummmm yeah, Cal City is fun but I would rather NOT bend my frame anymore than it already is!!:lol2:

[lminette]

Yeah! I think it's the one we kind of messed up during the install but were like "we'll see what happens". I'm sure the Cal City incident didn't help either. Good thing is I can get them here at work for $30 each so not too bad. Just gotta get out to the father in-law's and install 'em.

Anyone got an extra spot in a loaner? Preferably the FWD type? I don't think the Focus will be out of the shop in time and if there isn't a pre-existing, I'll get one. Might have a couple people from work join in as well. Talk about rusty.

you can always get a rental and share it.

Still running strong but will have to get new struts after this event. :-(

KYB GR2's are good stock replacement struts if they make them for your car.

[0.o slow 1.6]

KYB GR2's are good stock replacement struts if they make them for your car.

No company makes any product for my car. Everything has to be custom or off of another vehicle. What size struts are the Sti's/wrx? I need inserts that fit a 49 outer diameter strut. The Feal suspension insert looks nice though, might save up for that.

[WAM]

Maybe someone coming to this event could help me out here. I'm buying a piece of UHMW plastic for underbody protection from a plastics house in Anaheim. It's too long for UPS to take and too expensive to truck it.

Anyone live or work near Anaheim who could pick it up and bring it to Glen Helen? They're only open 7:30-5, M-F

Address is:

Industrial Plastic Supply
2240 Dupont Dr

Louie live in Anacrime now....maybe he could do it! :mrgreen:

Thanx, but I got it covered now. And this way it will be in place by Glen Helen. Not that your events are ever rough. :)

thanks bill, gonna check them out to see what they got.

[bedheadben]

Oh I forgot to ask. Are these pits paved or are they dirt? Just wondering how I'm going to jack the car up safely if it's dirt, I've never done a RallyX before.

[bue car]

its all dirt, but its hard as hell in the pits. I used my oem jack there with no issues to change my wheels

[rollo]

Just take a board to put the jack on.. I use an old cupboard door. The only problem with jacking up on dirt is that it stresses the hell out of the hydraulics just you're dragging the wheels instead of them rolling.

[bedheadben]

Hmm well I would just use my scissor jack but it doesn't go high enough now that the car's lifted. Maybe I'll bring a wooden block to put under it too. I don't want to break my ****ty Big Red jack.

[LURK]

Rollo's got the right idea..I just found a nice piece of plywood that wood be perfect!

[409industries]

The dirt won't hurt your floor jack, it just makes it more difficult to move them around. I have used the same jack at rallyx for ~3 years now with no problems.

[bedheadben]

Hmm, what kind of jack do you have?
Edit: And another noob question, will passengers be allowed?

[Newk_Rally]

passengers will be allowed but they have to sign a wavier

[rollo]

The dirt won't hurt your floor jack, it just makes it more difficult to move them around. I have used the same jack at rallyx for ~3 years now with no problems.

Hmm.. I've seen the (cheap) HF/Pep Boys type hydraulic jacks break under that specific stress, but YMMV. Either way a board makes the job a lot easier and quicker. I also use a hockey puck on the jack pad (to cushion the diff at the back and the jacking plate at the front).

[bue car]

i use my diff gard tehe ;)

well I got teh JR lift on the car - sneek peek pics will be posted tonight in teh proper thread. New rubber and alighnment this week - then off to teh dealer for more serious repairs :/

[SoCalBoomer]

I blew through a decent Harbor Freight jack on the dirt. I now have a 12x12" piece of diamond plate. It is a real help in the back country of Johnson Valley when you're trying to follow a group of Subies in a Neon and they don't realize you've sunk in the sand and your only way out is to jack up the car, fill in under the tires, then move a foot, then repeat. heh heh. oh yes, good times. . . LOL

In any case, something like that will make your jack more stable. :D Ground is hard enough in the pits where you can get away without it, but it does help.

[Gravel Crew Rally Team]

O Damn! Wolfgang is running his EVO!!!!!!!! That thing is a beast, full open class rally car!!! And an excellent driver.

[Rally OBXT]

Yup, R4 class is going to be very interesting. :D

[bue car]

sigh... i may drop a class in that case lol

[409industries]

Hmm, what kind of jack do you have?
Edit: And another noob question, will passengers be allowed?

I have a Craftsman Aluminum floor jack.

Yes passengers are allowed, as Dean said, they must sign a waiver and also wear a helmet while riding. There are usually loaners available at the event.

sigh... i may drop a class in that case lol

Dont be a puss. We need some GC's in the mix. Besides you can always compare yourself to how fast you are against Trent... :pissed:

i didnt pay for rally tires just to collect dust ;)

[Newk_Rally]

dang are we doing a bracket type race?? that would be awesome but might be to much to figure out fast enough .... would be really cool though and exciting for the spectators =D

[Rally OBXT]

Not a bracket race per se... These are the guys you will be running against though. So bring your "A" game!!

[geekmonster]

looks like all the classes have a good amount of competition except sm2 and r2. i'd say this is shaping up to be a really good event.

[bzzbee2]

Just take a board to put the jack on.. I use an old cupboard door. The only problem with jacking up on dirt is that it stresses the hell out of the hydraulics just you're dragging the wheels instead of them rolling.


The first Glen Helen I attended a few years ago we were pitting in the mud. I had a floor jack... While jacking the car up I was talking to someone and drinking my coffee. I looked down to realize that my car did not get lifted. The jack was now about 18" into the ground. Lesson learned. Bring a piece of wood to put the jack on. Home depot will cut you a piece of 3/4 or 1" plywood that will work good and it costs about 5 or 6 bucks.

My jack needed to be pulled out of the ground by my car and a tow strap that a subaru owner lent to me. (some of the jack is still in the ground.... it broke... I left parts of it there on purpose in hopes that someday Dave would run it over and get a flat:muhaha:).


I wish I could make it to this event for both days, but i think i might only be able to show up for half a day.

[Rally OBXT]

Sat is a perfect day for you then. I look forward to seeing you!

[JacksonRally]

Dave, I'm really trying to get Marra to run. Hopefully she will fill in a walk up space for you in SM4.

[Rally OBXT]

She can always come out to the practice day if she is does not want to race.

[Rally OBXT]

Update:

You can still pre-pay the $80 and reserve your spot. Otherwise it's a first come, first serve walk up basis. I will take reservations during Sat practice.

There are only 10 spots left. It looks like there is a good shot of this thing selling out!! Don't be left out in the cold!

i gots teh fast N/A rs =]

now if I can control her...

[Johnny5]

2007 crs rally school? was that up at willows (thunderhill)?

[Rally OBXT]

Ridgecrest, CA

[rollo]

So I have a lot of CRS trophies, including some from 2008 for some reason.

As such, the following people will get a trophy just for showing up on either day:

- Albert Goad
- Andrew Holman
- Loren Bench
- Josh Wild
- Tyler Yoon
- Dave Clark

- Guy Sappington
- Walter Park
- Burney Storms
- Tucker Heiner
- Tyler Turnbull

Yes, I really have eleven CRS trophies sitting in a box in my garage.

The first lot are on the reg list, the second I think are mostly NorCal, although Tyler Turnbull had the awesome blue/black Integra and has come out to GH many times.

If you're on this list and will be there, come and find me - English guy, red street Evo, usually wearing a Ralliart cap or a straw hat (depending on the sun). I'll speak up during the driver's meeting too.

If you're on this list but won't be going to GH, let me know how you'd like to take your trophy off my hands.

[Rally OBXT]

Bump, only 8 spots left!!

[Rally OBXT]

Bump, 7 spots left. :)

[409industries]

This is good. fill those spots up!

[ProjectChaos]

Are those run groups official? Because I've pre-paid and pre-registered and my name isn't in any of the run groups for SM4. Also, I'll be there at GH to pick up my trophy :)

[ProjectChaos]

Oh I guess it'd be smart if I said my name. I'm Tyler Yoon.

[Rally OBXT]

Sorry about that Tyler. :oops: I thought I had everyone in there....I will slot you in.

Edit: I have you in the 3rd run group in SS4

[rally240sx.com]

sooooooo I may have goofed, I registered to run in the stock class, but my car is gutted (gonna get a cage soon) and I have an exhaust other than that im 100% stock does that bump me up to modified???


if so thats cool but i need to have the list changed :eek:

[Newk_Rally]

that does bump you up to mod class in stock you're only allowed catback, and drop in filter it shouldn't be a problem though PM Rally OBXT with your name i'm sure he can fix it for you :)

[rally240sx.com]

Thanks for the heads-up

[SoCalBoomer]

that does bump you up to mod class in stock you're only allowed catback, and drop in filter it shouldn't be a problem though PM Rally OBXT with your name i'm sure he can fix it for you :)

Cat-back, replacement air-filter element, and ECU flash. Also, no snow, truck or rally tires.

Gutting your car definitely puts you in Mod - but hey, you can now run snow tires! :D

[Pretendingtowork]

Just a few quick questions if anybody can help...
To avoid debeeding, what is the preferred tire pressure?

Also, would it be a good idea to remove my fog lights so I don't crack the lenses?

[lminette]

Preferred tire pressure would be 40+. I wouldn't worry about the fogs. You're stock right? That means you get the cleanest smoothest course.

[Pretendingtowork]

Yeah, I am stock...

Thanks for the help!!!:headbang:
