Despite being my first SCCA Rallycross event, and not going nuts with my fairly new daily driver, I managed to finish all seven heats and placed 2nd in my class, Stock FWD. I also helped run tech inspections before the event, and we had to go through roughly 50 cars.
I had an absolute blast, met some awesome people and made a "very impressive" entry into the SCCA Rallycross world, from what I was told by a bunch of people at the event. I finished 2nd in the stock FWD class, and after three heats I was something like 19th out of the 52 competitors at the event. I was even matching (and/or beating) a few Subaru WRX drivers in my Versa!

Incar video! *Edit: Music is there because all you can hear in the base audio is the camera mount rattling about.
On my way to a 2nd place finish in the stock FWD class!
I am getting this Sentra ready for my next event, just did complete cooling system work (new radiator, water pump, hoses and thermostat) and so far so good. Snow tires going on this week, making sure everything is ready to go for my next event on next Sunday, February 27th!
I picked up this '88 Nissan Sentra at auction for under $400. It runs and drives awesome, but I would later find out that the previous owner did not keep up on coolant flushes. I assume that the coolant went to ****, and then the coolant in the radiator lost its' freeze protection and busted the radiator.
And the cooling work...
Corroded water pump is corroded. Oh, people and their not-maintaining-their-cars...
