There's a SCCA RallyCross in Watkins (near Denver) on Sunday, May 18th... Racing starts at 10am. I'm not about to go abuse my Acura like that, but I want to go out and watch.

Here's their schedule (click on RallyCross #7 for directions): http://66.45.38.220/colorallyx/schedule.cfm

Rallyx. For good ol' redneck, mub sligging times. You will never see my lower car out there. But if I had a beater, it would be great.

Uh, have you ever seen a rally? It's not exactly a hick fest.

I have always thought about making my car into a rally, but what those guys do is way beyond my driving skills.

I slept in and forgot about it. :( I wanted to check it out.

I did some reading and it turns out that RallyCross isn't the traditional "Rally" that we see on TV (ie nutcases racing on dirt roads with trees or drops on the side)... That's Pro Rally, and Club Rally is basically the same. RallyCross could be called a bumpy dirt autocross... there's nothing to crash into and it's basically a flat course marked with cones. The dirt makes things a lot different than an autocross though. It's not really about precision driving, and drifting can actually help your times.

I'm tempted to throw on my snow tires and give it a try some time...

When do they run the events that are similer to a real rally (wrc type)? like on fire roads or something i guess.

that is what i need to do.
