New To Forum - Start of Rally
#1
Hi all,

To make a long story short early spring I bought a 2005 ZX5 that has run some TSD rally events and Targa Newfoundland twice. I thought I would play and just see where it goes. Of course, with all of the racing background I have (never in the car world thouhg) I'm starting to get a little carried away. Where this will go I'm not sure yet, but I've spent a lot of money on the car in the last few months and will be racing RallyX in Bancroft this Sunday. Yesterday I broke a brand new axle in 6 minutes and we still have a lot of work to do before leaving for the race tomorrow...

Will this lead to performance rally within the next year? I'm really not sure yet...sounds like fun though!
