We'd used our Focus as a daily driver. We'd dyno tested it. We'd even taken it on a full-fledged road course. What was next for our 250,000 mile daily driver? Rallycross, of course.
The FIRM in Starke, Florida, let us know that they'd be putting on a rallycross event, so we once again threw our helmets in …
YES!!!
(spoiler alert, a Limited Slip upgrade is coming!)
So many links.
If the entire course was as smooth as the start looks, I am betting the suspension setup can stay pretty firm.
their course looks pretty sweet
Here's the facility, by the way. We started on the far end by the motocross track, then wound our way up to the top left corner, then through all the dirt paddocks and through the esses to the bottom left corner, then went up the straight and crossed over to the kart track, then drove down to the end of the big straight and took the hairpin at the bottom center of the photo, then followed the track around the right side of the photo before cutting into the infield for more dirt driving (and a jump we could have run), then back onto the kart track, then the finish line.
It was quite a course.
They've been posting on a rally specific board about hosting a grassroots level competition euro style wheel to wheel rallycross, which would be pretty awesome.
Was there back in 2007 to help a buddy with his mini-supermoto. Man, that place has really changed.
This before or after the clutch?
I like to see big courses like this, a 45 second autocross run just isn't enough!
SCCA does not let you run pavement for rallyX, at all. This would be awesome!

Wait, what? I've run at a RallyX with a paved section 
In reply to fidelity101:
the speed doesn't appear to be SCCA friendly as well, which adds to the awesome. I for one welcome our new rally event hosting overlords!

The SCCA office has said they will sanction a mixed surface rallycross. It didn't use to be that way but we asked recently and were told yes.
Just a matter of finding a site.
Where's the video?? 
Thats impressive!!! We need something like that in NC.
