Probably. High center of gravity vehicles are a touchy subject. New drivers bringing something like a Jeep to run are given a pretty stern lecture about keeping it under control and are watched very carefully. Anything that has been lifted (unless specifically designed for high speed off-road racing - i.e. desert trucks) is frowned upon. It's just too much of a roll over risk.

i figured as much, thanks for the info, i might go and watch still!

I'll let you run my Audi if you want to give rallycross a try sometime, just not at this event, my car won't be there.

It's a lot safer than my Jeep, and certainly yours.

Definitely still come and check it out. The passenger's seat of the Merkur is always open for an entertaining ride to those that want it.

Got another questions about helmets! Does it have to be full face shield or could it be like a dirt bike helmet? I got a buddy who is willing to let me borrow his snell aproved helmet, but it the one that you need goggles with the helmet. Think that could work?

 

[ReZPunK]

open face is ok, since your windows will be rolled up and no open top cars are allowed.

not sure on the motorcross helmet. some are and some aren't allowed. depends on the rating

Just make sure that it has one of the SNELL stickers listed above inside it. M95 - M2005 or SA95 - SA2005 is required. It does not have to be a full face nor do you have to wear goggles. Open face helmets are acceptable.
