I was at the junkyard with my friend Saturday picking through old Subaru's and we met up with some local Imprezza RS people. They were having a dinner that night and I showed up at the end. Mastro Subaru, our competent and friendly dealer in Tampa is sponsoring a Rally cross on Sept 22 in North Florida geared mostly for RS and WRX owners (those are the active ones anyway, not many SVX owners of course). It is open to any Subaru.
Do you think it'd be insane to try the rally course in an SVX or that I'm better off leaving it at home and watching the boys in the Imprezza's do it? Our cars sit pretty low to the ground, I don't know if it would be able to complete the course. It sounds like a lot of fun and a great way to spend a day beating the snot out of your car  The course won't be too awful rough, it is meant for your average Subaru, not modified rally cars, in fact, overly modified cars are not allowed.

Heheh, you know many times I've answered this in the past....
YES you can!
The big trick is to scout out the track surface first. A regular rally cross is nothing like a fulfledged rally. However you would be amazed that an SVX will do fine there too. I personally will not take mine to hard course rally, however a rallycross is cake. I've watched plenty of people rallycross in much lower cars than our SVX's. I was suprised myself when I first saw it, but you will be fine.
Just make sure you have someone there to take pictures for everyone.
