Rally Pat Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Not much in the way of details released about this yet, but supposedly is a spec rally go-kart racing series, with a kit you can build or buy based on a Yamaha YZF 450 ATV. I have been emailing back and forth with a guy named AJ Grasso who works at Rhys Millen Racing, who are facilitating this whole thing, and it sounds like it could be a lot of fun. All of the good pictures are on their facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/FormulaCross Official Site: http://formula-cross.myshopify.com/ Videos at Vimeo (dont think we can embed these here): Preview - Testing - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted July 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Guy wouldn't say yet, but you can supposedly buy a whole one or build your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 That looks like it would be a LOT of fun! I wonder of the expense? KillJoy Well, a YZ is about 7-9k new. I'm sure you can tack on another few grand for equipment, etc. Expensive when it's all said and done, but that's a relative term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenger1647545502 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Wonder if they'd let you run a Legends rod body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Why wouldn't you just ride a quad? Lol Insurance. It's easier to insure an amateur event if there is roll-over protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS_Sonoma Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Then why not a Honda Pilot? This reminds me of the Bandelero series racing except with roll cages and off road suspension. Cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's pennies on the dollar when compared to prepping a car for stage rally/rally cross. These things look awesome. I want one.
