Henry Webster Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 How about combining two of your interests and building an off road speed event vehicle. If you like off roading and speed, then there is no better way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Webster Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Yeh come racing next year Tim. More suited to your driving style than challenge anyway How about this race proven car all ready for next season Potential race winner straight out of the box - Baja GB winner, Hillrally Chamionship car. A really innovative, but cheap to maintain and run car. And the Lofthouse family would be good for some advice on how to get the best from it. There seem to be quite a few good comp cars up for sale at the moment - this is always a good time to buy! H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ101 Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 Henry / Mark Now there's an idea to look into ?? any useful links ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 What info you after Tim? We race with AWDC, there's some info on there about regs etc (basically MSA spec cage, belts, helmet, fire extinguisher, cut out switches, etc) and also a few cars for sale. Now's the time most cars come up for sale at the end of the season. We find the AWDC events friendly and well organised with a good level of competition, good decent length courses, and good value for money. Looking to do approx 6 events next year, probably missing the ones that are further afield, most of the AWDC safari's are typically easily reached from the SW. Marches 4x4 for info on BCCC and Hillrally events. There is also the option of local club events, although these tend not to offer the same milage as the 'national' events. We usually get around 8 laps of a 6 mile course with AWDC, but varies a bit from site to site. You can usually find frank and open views on Mad Landy Forums. You still got my number if you chat about options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ101 Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 Thanks Mark,,, BCCC looks interesting, will look into it a tad further Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Webster Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Tim, Let us know what you want in the way of info. I do mainly the Hillrallies in a modified (super) production Discovery, but know quite alot about the sport in general. I was actively involved in running the BCCC (or BORC) as it was known between 2000 and 2006 and I still know alot of those involved. I have a background in both stage and road rallying as well as in off road motorsport. In my opinion BCCC, AWDC, NORC and the Hillrallies are still really friendly compared to some stage rallies, but still pretty competitive and very fast! You can still be competitive in this sport on a budget, despite some of the top guys now spending quite alot. H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
