RallyCross racing is one of the fastest growing motor sports in the
country. Rallycross is like autocross in that you race on a miniature road
course marked with pylons. It is different from autocross in that it is on
dirt, grass, gravel or other loose surface. Also unlike autocross, all the
runs count, not just your fastest time. It is also way more fun to watch. A Jeep
Cherokee makes a fun very competitive vehicle to RallyCross. Mike has
scored several Fastest Times of the Day trophies at local events. He
always gives the turbo cars a run for their money. In the featured event
below he was driving his work truck instead of his Rally
racer. He finished third overall.
