Rallycross is awesome!

Sure, photos are fun. Sadly I no longer own the Subie.

my all time favorite color on the GD-chassis RS's. if i ever repaint mine, that's at the top of the list.

the Orange, Va courses were awesome

Why did I look in here?

I do not want to build a rallycross RX-8, I want to get my street car ready and sell this thing.

Brett, you want to rallycross while prepping the car for hillclimb...

Yes, it is fun. Sadly, I no longer have the Outback - replaced with a WRX that I DD, so I don't rally-X it. (Our course gets really rough after 40-60 cars run it.)

Here is another guy having fun!

Indeed, little more than an unplowed farmer's field. I ran them back in 2005-ish. Of course,that was a 3 hour drive for me, both ways. Summit should be half the distance. Have you run at Summit yet? I'll be curious to experience how it compares.

I cut out my own rally practice track at home on a couple of acres. Definitely a course that rewards skill over speed, dodging trees and the wife's vegetable garden. It's not flat either.

Thanks. Now I need to clean my pants.

I ran Orange back in 05 as well, had a silver STi at the time, I've been to summit (back at the first event there), there's definitely a ton of space for long courses there, honestly the amount of course workers is the only reason that courses aren't 4-6 minutes. There's a Latin American group out at summit that does rally sprints that are pretty sweet. They have a 2-4 mile loop that they run as a circuit with cars released every 20 seconds.

I'm just outside of Baltimore now as well, Orange would be a drive if it were to ever reopen, but a drive that'd be worth it imo.

Yes. Yes it is.

Yay pictures!

Rallycross is rallyBOSS!

Love the porsche! If you have made it this far in the thread and haven't decided to go rally...

Now for more pictures

My wrx with a DC sticker and all from southern California. I've earned my flat brimmed hat

Let me see if I can find action pictures

Rallycross is fun on a relatively hard surface.

When it urns into a plowed field, not so much.

That looks like a bunch of fun.

As of 11/06/13 8:25 EST, I am offically in the market for a rallycross vehicle.

Excellent! What part of the country are you in?

I am in the booming Mexican city of Atlanta GA.

Cool, should be some good opportunity for rallycross around there I would imagine. If not come on up to Raleigh, next event is Nov 17th!

I remember that Subie! Cool. You don't recall my green 122 Volvo? Only one there. ;-)

Rallycross is more fun when it turns into a plowed field.

I do remember the the green Volvo, I'll fire up the old laptop sometime and pull up all of the old pictures as I'm sure that i have some of it as well. I've considered getting a 240 to play with once i'm done prepping the 323. (or once i sell the DSM)

I have some old pics somewhere, too..probably, like you, on a laptop sitting in a corner collecting dust.

If you want to get serious and campaign a real volvo (122), I can help you get started cheaply. A 544 or 1800 would be a fun ride, too.
