It's still tentative but I figured I would go ahead and spill a few beans.

The Clemson Sports Car Club is planning a rallycross on May 6th. It will be in Anderson, SC at the Anderson County Fairgrounds. The Clemson Dog Show is also happening on the same day, so if you bring a non-car nut, they can look at the cute doggies.

They have a grandstand where they do demolition derbies and have outdoor concerts that they're letting us use. It isn't the best lot or the biggest but at least it isn't an old brickyard :shock: And it has bleachers for spectators, which will be very cool.

I'm planning on putting the stock suspension back on the Focus and hoping that I don't break anything too serious.

I'll post more details once they get ironed out, and hopefully I'll have some pics of the lot by late next week.

Here are a few websites for those interested. There might even be directions buried in there somewhere.

Should be a hellacious good time!

Update: Another guy got a few pics of the lot where it's being held.
The flickr link is right here!

The field really doesn't look that big once you're down on it. Perspective I guess.

If you go to the actual Flickr site and look at the large pictures, you can see the slope/banks I was talking about. And the area in the "looking left" pic is not flat, and there might be a storm drain over there somewhere.

Well, this event has been postponed but the guys in charge said that now that we have a venue for one, we will definitely have one!

It's looking like early summer, but I'll keep everyone posted.
