Re: 2008 Glad Rag Euro-Rallycross The following pics were all taken by Uncle Jeffy and I and truly impressed how nicely he captured the action. There are more of them HERE in the A.M.E.C. gallery page.

The power of choice: Japanese 1.5 liter engines! It's interesting to note that the majority of cars in this race were powered by tiny 1.5 liter engines. This was merely a coincidence, but it did represent a very competitive group of similarly powered race cars.

Re: 2008 Glad Rag Euro-Rallycross The only thing about that "altitude hall of fame" is that all but 2 of those cars were going over a jump.....Mike and Tom did it in a place where the wheels were supposed to still be on the ground!!!
MIKE! hey that video was awesome!! also i have the dvd for you. it works in any dvd player with a tray. it does not work with the push in style cause its mini disc. i cant find the av chords for the camera. so we will have to figure something out. ill give it to you monday night at the meeting.
How about an update on the July race? You mentioned possibly changing the date due to it being on a holiday weekend.
As for me personally, as I mentioned at the meeting, my feelings would not be hurt if there were no July race. I'm an ice racer, and not a big fan of heat and humidity. July is the time to be at a lake or beach!
But for the others who might still like to race, keep them informed.
