Road Rally
-
Face it, everyone on this forum is neck deep in the car-related $$$ sink. Balking at $500 is pretty funny, through granted we all pick where the money goes and rally may not be your thing. Aside from what gets dumped into the car (and be very afraid of totaling that all up), there is the menu of $$$ sucking car-related events. These can range from "free" LEO ticket dodging road hooning to entry fees for higher end concourse looking pretty events, "cheap" parking lot cone dodging (unless you're serious and plan for nationals), northern Wisconsin ice dancing, and moving up the price point to the costs of track days/nights/weekends, Lemons/Chump enduros and club sprint racing, etc.
So $500 for a rally event that includes vinyl swag and comp'd lodging--unless the rooms are just a bunch of parked vans down by the river--seems pretty cheap by comparison...if you're into road rally.
I dont think anyone on here is a stranger or opposed to spending money on car related stuff.
We’re just a tough crowd I guess

$500 is two track days. That's where my $500 will go. Side note, isn't 270 miles kind of on the edge of the Model X range? That should be interesting.
In economy mode....

So I take it nobody wants to do the crown rally this year?
Is it also a TSD rally?

Yeah they're trying to get lunch at a super charging station haha
$500
As was already mentioned, in the world of rallying $500 is a steal, even the founder of the crown rally spoke up for it when someone asked about the price. The rooms are standard suites at a resort, outside of that I don't have specifics since I'm not involved in the planning, I'd rather drive it.
I just figured someone would be interested, don't think of this as a sales pitch. It's going to be a blast and I just don't want you to let your wcec hate get in the way of a good time I guess.

You are right, Looks like the Gumball Rally is a $100,000 entry fee. Im glad you posted it because its another automotive event to acknowledge. I first heard about the “Rally to Winnebago” quite a few years ago and its something im finally in a position to think about doing.
I look forward to hearing about the Tesla and seeing some cars. Let me know if you guys are meeting up around hwy 100 again like the time i saw you last year and I’d be glad to come say hello

There might be a group there again, not sure yet. The group you saw last year was a bunch of us immediately after getting the vinyls put on going to a birthday dinner for Alex. This year we're doing two different vinyl days at two locations in the state, one east and one west to make it easier for people (it was a 4 hour drive for me last year lol). So there's a chance that one group will be at endless autosport again.
I really think this rally is something people in here would enjoy. It's a real driving event that's managed extremely well and had great reviews across the board last year for a very cheap price compared to every other rally in our area.

Not a doubt in my mind it would be fun, but I think we have different definitions of “real driving event.”
-
I'm not really interested in arguing over what constitutes a "real" driving event, my point is that its a fun car event that involves driving and not parking.

Like I said I’m sure it will be fun, and most anything beats parked cars.
