Some of you already know that I got sponsored by Stateline Rallycross to run the Gambler-500 Illinois to promote for them. I’ve been working hard, with some help from my friends, to get the RallyMetro prepped for the event.
To get it street legal, I hung the turn signal and marker lights back on it, in a very professional manner that totally didn’t involve strapping and self-tapping screws. The previous owner, XJDano, gutted the housings to convert it to brighter H4 sealed beam headlights. I went a step further and cut the cloudy lens away for more light to get through.
I patched a couple floors in a rally-approved fashion ... random metal I had laying around, laytex house caulk, and more self-tapping screws. No expenses spent!
We discovered that the front left wheel bearing was completely shot I dropped the spindle off at my favorite local indy shop to have a new one pressed on. I’ll pick that back up this afternoon
This weekend I need to reinstall the spindle, and the Stateline Rallycross stickers should be here today too.
I can’t wait to rally!!

Man I wish my dad would have kept his Geo Metro instead of scrapping it so it could have been used to do stupid stuff like this. Looks like fun!

Rallycrossing it has been an absolute ball! It’s way more fun to drive than it has any right to be. It’s so tail-happy! Handbrake turns on the dirt are just the best.
I’m really excited to try this next adventure and run the Gambler.

Same, but my family had a Ford Festiva. Now I wish I had it too do stupid stuff on.
