This was a weekend event I decided to go to over Thanksgiving. Located in western PA. Beaverun Motorsports Complex. There was a tarmac course, which I stayed on mostly, but I was feeling brave and decided to try the mud course! The only tires I had to use were the mostly worn stock Continentals. The only reason I decided to give it a shot was because I had a buddy there with a truck to pull me out if I needed it, but I ended up getting through it 3 different attempts without getting stuck once! I was amazed, and so were all the spectators!

These images are for amusment purposes only, and to show how surprisingly well the Cobalts can get around in the mud! lol

Mods: Jannetty Racing side exit 3" exhaust, CIA catless downpipe. HIDs, Custom HP Tune.

 

You could have bought an Evo.

 

Just give me your car...

 

"Thank you for calling On Star, what is your emergency?"
Took a detour and got stuck in a little bit of mud..

 

you fool

 

You sure you're not ?

 

He did good though. Not getting stuck once. I know some 2wd trucks that could not make it through that kind of mud. I am impressed to say the least.

 

Why get an evo for dirt when you can get a subaru.

 

speechless

 

haha that had to be so much fun! props to you for not getting stuck!

 

Ha! That's awesome! Too bad there is no video!

 

due, dont listen to anyone else. much respect!! its a damn cobalt, and your haveing fun. pics look awesome

 

Props for taking the car where you can learn and have fun safely. Don't listen to all the weenies scared of getting dirty.

I love Beaverun. It's a fun, REALLY fast track. How'd you like the track, and was it your first time there?

I know they're having financial problems, but I really hope they make it.

Looks like fun! Not exactly the way I'd like to treat my new SS but hey its your car. I got done playing with mud back in my stupid redneck phase with my truck.

 

My thought exactly. You also can't go wrong with that rumble

 

yeah i probably wouldn't have done that

 

why get an evo when you can get a subaru is exactly what i was going to say. props for not getting stuck man now have fun cleaning that mess up lol. the good old pressure washing and time labor should do you some good.

 

Those HIDs look sick man. Props on the run too.

 

in think i'll start to cry

 

Thanks for all the props guys, it sure was fun. I was hesitant at first but everybody kept egging me on to see how it would handle, I figured eh what the heck.. mud is soft, what is the worst that could happen? haha

Washing the car was a different story! 4 times through the car wash, with the underbody wash is what it took. I probably will not try it again, mainly just wanted to prove that I could do it but you only live once right?

I realize an Evo would have been a much more appropriate vehicle for such activities, but this is all I had so why not?

The HIDs are housed in 2nd Gen projectors, Halos deactivated (didn't want to look too rice - no offense), lights are from DDM Tuning. 5K in fogs and 6K in lows.

My buddy did a ride along, we both had a blast. I did not get to try the actual track at Beaverun, they only had cones set up in the large parking lot area they had, with dirt sprinkles around for the tarmac section. There was a totally separate short mud course also set up next to it, I did both of them. For the tarmac course, RWD would have been way funner though, drifting using the hand brake in the Cobalt is a major PITA.

 

Thats awesome!

 

Haha, wouldn't have done it in my car for fear of paint damage (rocks). But that looks really fun! Cool pics too!

 

Thanks!

 

sucks i cant see the pictures at work :/

 

Atleast we know she is not a garage Queen lol!
