RallyCross is a timed event that involves solo driving on grass or dirt and has been likened to an "autocross on the dirt." Just like autocross, the emphasis is on driver skill and handling rather than absolute speed. RallyCross is the simplest, cheapest and safest way to experience the thrill of Rally Racing and is perfect starting point for any Rallying career.
RallyCross takes place on a relatively short and twisty course lined with standard traffic cones. Tight and frequent corners generally keep speeds below 45 to 50 mph with runs usually in the 1 minute range.
Each competitor takes turns making their runs. Hitting a cone or missing a turn garners a time penalty. Unlike autocross, final positions a decided by the combine times of all runs so a driver not only needs to be quick from the start but must also be consistent.
SCCA RallyCross events are open to all closed-top production based automobiles.
Convertibles and raised vehicles are not allowed under SCCA Rules.
The vehicles are classed by drive train and modifications allowed
Classes
Stock
This category is for cars that are nearly stock with very few upgrade allowances. A cat-back exhaust and the replacement of consumable items, such as tires and brake pads with street legal replacements, are allowed. The category is further broken down into:
SR Rally Stock Rear Wheel Drive
SF Rally Stock Front Wheel Drive
SA Rally Stock All Wheel Drive
Prepared
Prepared is the category above Stock. All Stock modifications are allowed with the addition of more modification allowances to the suspension as well as the intake and exhaust. Any type and size of wheels and tires are allowed in this category. Prepared is broken down further into:
PR Rally Prepared Rear Wheel Drive
PF Rally Prepared Front Wheel Drive
PA Rally Prepared All Wheel Drive
Modified
This category covers all vehicles not in the other two. Modifications are fairly unrestricted, allowing for any suspension (including any changes in suspension geometry) and the use of any internal combustion engine. Any log booked race car falls under this category. With these allowances this open class is the most competitive class in RallyCross. The category is divided into:
M2 Rally Modified Two Wheel Drive
M4 Rally Modified All Wheel Drive

Sounds fun, but I don't think I want to thrash my car in the dirt yet, not to mention you will need a totally different set of tires.

If you have an EVO may I remind you that the reason your car exists is for Rallying.

No special tires needed. In fact the Stock class prohibits Rally tires.

The RallyCross Practices are being organized by Moroso. The actual RallyCross Competitions are jointly run by Moroso and the SCCA and some are just Moroso Events.
The Next scheduled practices are Nov 1st and Dec 3rd.
