RallyBrick!

RallyBrick is a Volvo 242 rally car that competes in the California Rally Series (CRS) Group 5 class. Group 5 is a an open 2 wheel drive class that allows a significant number of modifications to the car's suspension, driveline, and other areas.

While rally is the most popular motorsport in the rest of the world, it is still relatively small but gaining popularity in the US. Rally "special stages" are run on closed courses against the clock and the forces of nature. The cars must be street legal because they use regular roads to transit at legal speeds between the special stages. A navigator calls out instructions to the driver about upcoming turns, jumps, and dangers. The emphasis in rally is on surviving -- it's not uncommon for a race to last over a hundred miles in one day, with many races being multiple day events.

RallyBrick ran an abridged season in 2006. The 2007 will see the team running all NASA RallySport-sanctioned events in the Southwest.

We'll be updating RallyBrick more this season. Last season was tough because we were busy trying to get the car to the events and all the bugs "shook" out.
