RallyCross Anyone?
Has anyone else done this?
For those who don't know. It is similiar to Autocross, but on an unpaved surface (Usally a bumpy-d-bump cow pasture).
I ran one nearly two years ago in the Corvette, but took it very easy. Last Saturday I raced (whoops, I meant rallied) the Z28 and went all out. I was sideways in nearly all turns, lost my exhaust on the second run, ran open headers for the next 6 runs, got my car dirty (inside and out) and me dirty as a pig, and won my class (Group 5).
Most fun I've EVER had racing!
If anyone else has done this, what recommendations do you have? I need to put the exhaust back on and secure it, I may lift the suspension up some, add rally or off road tires, etc.

I haven't done it (yet) but know a few people who have. Kumho makes rally tires that I think you can get through Tirerack. My friend's girlfriend has an old VW Fox she is going to use for rallycross and has the Kumho rally tires. My friend drove the car when we had the 3' of snow here in February, and he said the tires worked great.
Yeah if you can raise the ride height some, that would be a plus. For clearance and suspension travel.
