I will agree that rallycross != rally, just as autocross != road racing. But I still wouldn't try it in a car setup for tarmac. Even if it's only half as harsh as Squaw was, it's still too hard on the car. Suspension with stock travel or greater is nearly a requirement IMO. And even on really nice and smooth surfaces, there's still the issue of rock spray (I ditched my rally undertray for weight and heat reasons years ago), not to mention my car needs a nice 100 mph breeze to stay cool when it's at high rpms... no way my car would survive sliding around under boost at 5000 rpm and 20 mph.

As was mentioned before, MattR and I actually worked a bunch to try to add rallycross to Reno SCCA's lineup, but we were the only ones interested at the time, and as we learned more about what it takes to put them on, an more importantly what sort of car you need to do it regularly, we decided we'd rather focus on autocross and track, 'cause to be competitive on the track and not destroy the car in the dirt, you need two different cars.

I guess my point is simply: my car would get destroyed at a rallycross, so until I get a beater for it, count me out.
