Finally! All I can say is, I've never had more fun in a vehicle with my clothes on. I was the lone truck in a sea of Subaru. I outweighed my nearest competitor in class by about #2500, as well as what had to be more than a foot in track width. I didn't finish top of class, but I'm more than happy with how the truck performed considering how tightly the cones were placed. After 10 laps between the 2 courses they had set up, I was off the top time by just over 50 seconds. That sounds like a lot, and it is, but the class winner was a national Rallycross runner-up a couple years back.
I had plenty of power, more than was useful ,actually. Probably could have been in oversteer the entire course. Ruts (which deepened surprisingly quickly) weren't an issue, obviously.
My biggest problem was inertia. 6K plus pounds doesn't tend to change direction as quickly as 3K. But that was half the fun, *** end hanging out on the long sweepers only to change direction and repeat.
If any of you are considering giving Rallycross a shot, I HIGHLY recommend it! You won't meet a nicer, more helpful group of people. Expect to get a few comments/compliments about seeing your Raptor in the wild far away from Walmart/Starbucks parking lot.
