I looked on the SCCA website, but I couldn't find a local region that did rally cross in the Southeast. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Check out the Chattanooga Region and maybe even central Alabama region.

Didn't look very hard did you? More can be found on the Atlanta Region site here: http://www.soloatlanta.com/flinks.htm

well, both are 3+ hours away. I'm thinking maybe next season doing rallycross a couple times and see how it is. Plus, rally tires are cheaper than r-comps

R-comps are a lot cheaper than the destruction and abuse your car will receive...seriously.

werd. last year i killed a tie rod and control arm on my 3rd run. unfortunately, it looked like both were bad castings, lots of porosity in both where they snapped.

air bubbles that create void space in a cast piece.

it's pretty common, this is part of the reason forged wheels are so strong -- the immense pressure in the forging process eliminates most/all threatening porosity.

I'd say "destruction" might be a bit of an exaggeration here. If the course is set up properly and done on a decently smooth site, there shouldn't be any damage. I have been to a few rallycrosses that got a little dug up and rough later in the day. I just called it day early to preserve the car. Good organizers will move the corners around before the ruts get deep. Still, mudflaps and perhaps a skid plate will enable you to run any rallycross with confidence.
