Rallycross Thread - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

So can I find out how many people on here have tried a rallycross here, or should I start a new thread? I don't see a section for rallycross, but there is some discussion here. I glad to see Reno region is going to do some this year. I'm on the RXB and it's good to see new programs, especially if they're in my area.

Start a new rallycross thread in this subforum. This thread is supposed to be autocross focused.

Hey, I might as well split this out for some Rallycross discussion.

If you are interested in the local rallycross activities, you can also look at the renoscca forums, where the rallycross forum has a lot of information.

Brent's already on RenoSCCA. So it's probably pertinent to point out to him that most of us here on SECCS are also over there as well.

Here's a video of what our Rain/Muddy runs were like.

Thanks for moving this/starting a new thread for me. So, besides Alex and me, how many people have done a rallycross? When? Where? What kind of car?

MattR · 2011-03-18, 03:37 PM

Is there an SUV class?

pomspeed · 2011-03-18, 05:25 PM

Well, they pretty much go into the same class as autocross, mmmm, no. high center of gravity and autocross is about the same as high center of gravity and changing course degradation. They're both rollover things. But we have had a Mini Cooper recently and last year at the Western States in San Diego there was an honest to goodness Porsche GT3.

Matt have you had the chance to do a rallycross anywhere?

MattR · 2011-03-18, 08:18 PM

No, i haven't. My mini is like 3/4" off the ground right now, so it has a hard time even going over speed bumps, haha. No dirt for the Mini.

My FJ cruiser would be bad ass on a track like Alex showed, but not so safe on a dry course.

Ok, the first rallycross at RFR is May 22nd and our next event, which is an SCCA National Challenge, is on May 28th-29th. The beauty of National Challenges is that Subaru has $1800 of contingency money and VW has $900. Not bad for cars that we can drive on the street.
