What is Rallycross?
Rallycross is similar to Autocross, except for one big difference - Rallycross
is done in the dirt, not on pavement. Other than that, you are navigating
a short course defined by pylons and trying to have a faster time than
other cars in your class.
Is it fun?
You bet If you like practicing car control in a situation where you
car doesn’t want to be controlled - this is for you. If you’ve
ever watched those TV commercials where the cars are flyin’ around
in the desert and thought, “Wow - I’d like to do that ” -
this is for you. If you’ve ever watched Pro Rally races and
thought, “Woo-Hoo - that’s a blast” - then this
is for you.
What do I need to Rallycross?
All you need is a car. You could use your daily driver, but be warned
- the Jean Dry Lake Bed will get dust everywhere - it can get between
the threads of a nut and bolt (almost). A good plan is to rent or
borrow a car - why get yours all dirty? Oh yeah, one more thing:
Bring $25 for your entry fee. This event will be the “Get down
and Dirty with 3 of Your Closest Friends” Challenge. After
the event, we’ll have a clean-up / awards party at the world
famous Pioneer Saloon in Goodsprings (about 10 minutes from the Lake
Bed).
Ok - I’m in - what do I
do next?
To enter the challenge, round up 3 friends who want to have a blast
spinning around in the desert. Next, reserve a car - preferably a
4 door, rear wheel drive car. If you are an SCCA member, many rentals
even offer discounts Once you everything in order, pre-register at
www.lvrscca.org and look for the Rally News link at the top. There
you will find more information.
I don’t have 3 friends brave
enough to Rallycross - what do I do?
If you want to come out on your own, you can bring a car or use the
Club Rally Car. The Club Car will cost you $15 extra.
