The RallyCross Experience

Who would think racing in dirt was fun?  WE DO!

This is without a doubt the easiest way to get sideways. Powerslide your way to grins and quick times on a budget. 

Rally race on a budget, and do it locally with other enthusiasts just like you!  Sound like something that you might want to try, here you are.  SCCA RallyCross enjoys the quality structure of a sound event with very low entry fees and safety requirements to ensure that you have fun, and not break the bank.

RallyCross is similar to autocross, but on dirt. A short course (typically 0.25-0.5 miles in length) is set up using cones. Cars must navigate the course as fast as possible without hitting any cones. A street car and an M2005 helmet are all that is required to get started in this exciting form of motor sport.

Events are free to watch, some people even offer ride-alongs.  Bring a chair and some sunscreen or just walk around the pits, everyone is friendly and usually willing to talk about their car or the event.

Here is a short video done by Neil O’Laughlin at one of our events.

Who can compete in RallyCross?

Anyone with a driver’s license and a hard topped car that can pass Tech Inspection.

Most people use their daily drivers with snow tires, but all-season and sometimes summer tires have gotten people wins.  Cars range from stock Nisson Maximas to heavily modified Subaru Imprezas ready for stage rally and everything in between.

Things to do before the event:

The main things to do:

• Sign up at MotorSportsReg.com for the next event
