I built a rally car, now what?
 
I turned one of my junkyard boxster's into a rallycross car and want to go racing. I took it out a few weeks ago and had a blast. It's amazing how well a boxster does on rough terrain. It was faster than everything there. Most of the competition isn't that impressive but there were some turbo'd Subaru's and other awd vehicles it beat.

I'm blessed because there's three rallycross tracks within 45 minutes of me and I'm hoping to visit all three soon. My problem with rallycross is that every track I look into is small. So small I probably won't even get out of third gear. I want more options and I want to go faster. This leads me to my question. Do any of you guys know where I can take my rally boxster to race and have fun? It seems Europe has all the fun road courses and over here in the states all we have are these small little tracks built on empty pasture. I can't believe with all the land we have in the US that there's not more races held on empty dirt roads. I'm really hoping someone knows of a race held in the south central US as I live close to Austin Texas. I'm also open to racing in Mexico as my racing partner is from there

I saw that TV show Aarons Garage, he built a rally car and went to a 3 day or 4 day event. i cant remember where though. I think I have the episode saved will try to see what it says.

Strange rally isnt more popular in the us. How abouts a pic of your rally car?

Bring it down here to FL to The FIRM, road course plus miles of rally stages. They used to run a small rallycross but i don't think they do any longer, but they do have miles of offroad rally stages.

I heard he came down here and practiced at a track near me. I've been meaning to look into where I can watch his show. I have a build thread http://986forum.com/forums/show-tell-gallery/73877-6-months-live-build-thread.html It's not the prettiest thing but that changes today. My race partner want's to make it look better. I'm taking it down to his shop today where it gets transformed back into looking like a Boxster

I forget where you live in Florida but Northern Florida is within my range I would travel. It's surprising to me that Florida has a large rallycross following like it does. Rally racing seems to be more popular in the north where it snows

I am in North FL, where I-10 and I-75 cross and I am:
1 hr from The FIRM (it is east of me)
3 hours from Roebling Road
4 Hours from Sebring

If you time it right you should come down for a few weeks and hit them all :)

I believe it was Rally Ready in Dale, Tx.
