Oppo, I won my class at rallycross today! I beat the other stock RWD cars, an old 325 and a volvo 240, by a comfortable margin. I also beat all the stock FWD cars which doesn't usually happen.

Here are some run videos! Morning

Afternoon

Bonus, I also picked up my trophy from the divisional.

YSI, who also has a Toyobaru, and also wants to rallycross, would love this.

Major kudos for off-roading a brand-new car!

About as well as the other cars. Snow tires are a little taller so I get about 1/2" of ground clearance out of them. If you watch the second video, though, I lift when I get to the back end where it is really bumpy.

I got it January 2013. I scratched it and damaged underbody panels crashing into cones in autocross before I ever took it on dirt.

When it hooks up though, it feels soooooo good. The long drift around the sweeper felt really satisfying.
