The 3-day DirtFish course is on my radar for this winter. It looks like a blast!
Thanks! We really are spoiled up here
Good point! The rules for this group are that the vehicle needs to be wider than tall with a max width and height of 80". A stock Sasquatch Bronco meets these rules. They made an exception for my width of 81.5" (due to the 0 offset wheels). Some of the cone gates were tight though!
Those sound like great events! These are incredibly capable vehicles and every time I use it for something new, I am left even more impressed.
I wore out a brand new set of all seasons on my Subaru on my first rally cross day. It was really dry and the surface really rough. After that I used actual hard compound rally tires that I got for pretty cheap and used from a local rally team. Also protect your paint. The Bronco is pretty bad at throwing up rocks on the rear doors/sills.
There was a red one in Mothman & a white one at Ohio.
No. Doors on, no soft tops. . .
The sway bar does indeed make the ass end come around.
That does look like fun to participate in, or even just to watch. Living in rock-crawling territory, I'd need to figure out where I could practice so that I could build up my skill set before taking part. If I'd entered that event, I probably would have been at the bottom of the leader board.
I thought I would try a run with it disconnected until I got out there. It was already leaning over in the corners so making it softer up front would not have helped. It was reasonably tail happy if you managed the weight correctly. My biggest challenge was accurately predicting/ timing the power delivery with how the turbo, the transmission, and the traction control (never truly 'off') all play together with the varying traction levels. Getting too little grunt meant the front would lift and it would push, too much and the whole thing would step a few feet off line. Just the right amount would allow it to dig out of the apex and powerslide toward the exit.
