First Rallyx in the RA!!

So I've owned a couple WRXs in the past and always loved rallyxing them. I've been dying to try out my paddles on a rallyx and finally got to this past weekend. The car did amazing even with the stock a10s and my lowered suspension. It got the crap beaten out of it, and kept on going. I think on stock suspension it would have done fine, but had to slow to a crawl in a couple places on the track to save the car. Still had a blast though, it's so nice not to have to worry about missed 1st gear on a turn. I'd love to find some cheap rims and put some 16" winterforces on them for these races!

On to the pics!

Sweet! Is this held around Lafayette? That's only about a 2 hour drive for me.

Nice! Great Pics as well...so good job to the camera guy/gal!

Scrolling through the first 3-4 pics I was thinking "that's not a rally-x, this kid is just driving through some poor guys field" Clearly not the case as seen in the last shot.

RGRA- yeah kind of looks like that at first. It was a guys old corn field though, but a sanctioned event none-the-less.

On a side note. For those who are planning on doing an event- this car is ridiculously easy to drive sideways and play with in the corners. I'd just feed it more throttle and it would leap out of the turns. Set up nicely with a little stab of the brakes before the turn and just ram the throttle and the back end would slip right out and stay whereever I wanted it. I thought there'd be a stupid amount of turbo lag but there really wasn't. My sti was way worse. It would just explode from turn to turn.

There is some good developments in products for the ralliart in terms of rally/rallycross products being developed by the venders on there. May be something you want to check out.

I will be posting a thread on this later on here but you may be interested in one of these
