Dreadscott's latest rally adventure



Here's a good action shot of our nicely rearranged rally car:

Neal, the Delta Integrale is not the Group B supercar that you're thinking
of. The Integrale was equipped with a 2.0l single turbo motor and was
actually the generation that *followed* the Delta S4 to which you refer. It
was far less powerful (a "mere" 350hp at most), yet was a real roadcar
rather than a prototype for rally purposes only. Think "Group A" versus
"Group B". This is the car that dominated the WRC just before the new school
generation (early 90s). Think the pre-Impreza WRX STi or pre-Lancer EVO,
etc.

Hell, we gave a couple of kids some hot lap fun after the event. -fully
sideways with a 14-yearold screaming in the headset. That was great. Hee
hee. Rally is the motorsport that you can reach out and touch (and inhale,
and taste, and blow out your nose, and...)
