Ohio Valley Region - Innaugural Rally Cross May 6th

WOW!!! What a day! Went so smooth, everyone got 12 runs, plus a ton of "fun runs" ($1 a run) Plus ride alongs, swapping cars, tons of pics, video, trophies, and the WORST F#@%$# SUNBURN!!!!!!! :smt013 <- My face and head are that color and feels like :blob6: But I don't care, had a blast, got bit by the rallycross bug and I am dedicated to being at the next event and running the piss out of my car.
Here's a teaser of the 125 shots I took yesterday [:D]

Beaverun is right there and they used to have rallycrosses as well as rally schools. Their events were so fun, I wish they would do that again!!!!

If you need info, here are some other nearby SCCA regions that have done Rallycrosses in the past few years, but you'd have to look and see whether any of them are active:
Steel Cities, Philadelphia, Susquehanna, Central PA, Finger Lakes

If they aren't, then email important people or post on their discussion forums. Expression interest really helps.

And, you are also lucky enough to be pretty close to a Pro Rally which a bunch of us are going to watch in 2 days woo hoo!

The other way to look at it is that it's worth a drive! My "home turf" is in Virginia - 2-3 hours away. I also used to drive 5 hours to rallycross in your neck of the woods, or 5 hours in the other direction to rallycross in North Carolina.
