Rallynotes.com is all new!

The rallynotes.com site is up and running with the latest and greatest version of WordPress! A small panic had set in this afternoon when the file I used to import the posts became corrupt, but we stuck with it, and it turned out fine. All SEVEN + years of rallynotes posts are up! The theme is based on ‘Twenty Ten’ (the new 3.0 theme for wp), but I took it apart and re-wrote it for some heavy customization, and I’ll probably be tweaking a few visual things over the next few days. I’ve added most of the legacy pages, but I need to dig in and get the links checked and moved over. If you notice anything blatant -drop me a comment!

With the release of the new website, I have linked the new rallynotes.com twitter account @rallynotes. You can watch here, or follow us directly! We’ll use this predominately on race weekends, but I’m sure the occasional rally build triumph will be tweeted. Make sure to follow us!

A new rally car! Just like I did with the 1st Gen (Ze’Neon), I designed a graphic for the new car before we start the build. The colors are similar to our first car, but with a new unique style that will soon come to be recognized as the rallynotes.com SRT-4 Neon. The 2GN is a 2003 Second Generation Dodge Neon SXT. The current plan is to cage and test the car with the stock 2.0L and then upgrade it to a 2.4L Turbo SRT-4. This car will be campaigning in the group 5 class in 2011 (open 2WD class). We are really excited to get this project underway, and we hope you are too!

New rally car! New website! New rallynotes graphic!
You know you want to hit up the new comments!

Team at the California Rally School.

The Rallynotes.com team were out in Ridgecrest last weekend helping to teach and instruct the 2010 California Rally Series Rally School. Matt Farah and the guys from The Smoking Tire showed up with a couple of Mitsu’s and it looks like they had a blast sliding around the test course. In the video you can see Christine going over the timing controls, and I’m covering skidplate material – and aluminum types. Not all exciting stuff, but you’re going to need to know it if you want to do well out on the stages.

We had a great time teaching the new recruits and encourage you to sign up for the next California Rally Series Rally School. If you want to do some more sliding around in the dirt with your daily driver check out the CRS Rallycross Schedule for 2010!
