Scott and I were talking at the last rally x event how every time we ask a co-worker or friend to come out and slalom their sporty cars we always get the same excuses; "My brakes are bad" or "I have crappy tires" or "I need new suspension".

Here's a good article why you should get out even if your car is a piece of crap.

This was on FMC's face book page a while ago, good read.

RallyCross is the ultimate no-excuse motorsport. Go find someone giving a car away for junk. Haul it to the lot. :)

You can run with anything if you want.

Mike B and I squared off a Volvo 245 vs a Woody Wagon once....

I can even hear: "I don't wanna ruin my car." or "I don't have money for that kind of stuff." but those are the same people caught overspeeding/street-racing on highways and backroads..
Jus' saiyin'..
