Ricky from the Tri Cities autocross Club did the Groupon half off school. Here is his write up .
" Got to take the dirtfish school today. It was 1/2 day intro (4 hours). I would really recommend the school for anyone who wants to start rallying or rallycross. The school was all on dirt/mud/gravel. Started with basic techniques (e.g. left foot braking) on a skid pad, slalom, and a small rally course. 2 to 1 student-instructor ratio. Eight students total. Good amount of seat time.
The cars were supplied by the school. Group P rally cars, 2009 Subura Sti. Not many schools do that. Major modifications were suspension, roll cage, brakes and wheels/tires. Since rally tires were 15", the brakes were downsized to fit the smaller wheel.
I learned a lot today. Rallying is definitely more of an art than science. I sucked at it. My autocross habits kicked in, and really gave me a hard time. But still, I learned a lot, and unfortunately had too much fun. I spent the drive home thinking about getting an Sti...
I'll post pictures next week when I get all of them.
Dirtfish currently has Introductory pricing for their classes until the end of the month. They'll start increasing the price until then.
