Rally on a Budget - SCCA RallyCross

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

So you want to become a rally driver? The SCCA RallyCross is an affordable option open to any participant with a vehicle. For an entry fee of $50-100, you can slide through the dirt in anything from a stock car to a completely modified rally car.
During the 2018 DirtFish SCCA West Coast National Challenge, we caught up with a few well-seasoned RallyCross drivers to find out what they are racing in and why they love rally!

    Best budget rally car is a Volvo. 2004 S60 2.5T AWD. Swap suspension from a junkyard XC70 and get good tires. Power is easy to make as well and weight reduction makes a big difference.

    Should use it for a "24 hours at Lemons" race. $500 race car and it's a two day event. Solid race on a budget, plus it's a way for you to use what you have. When I was your age, I ended up racing a 1969 VW Bug. The old "shit boxes" tend to be your most memorable and favorite racer in your life.
