Second, if you want more traction, get snow tires. I have a spare set of 16" snow tires that would work great for rallycross and this winter. PM if you want to talk about price. Also, invest on a skid plate and mud flaps whenever you have a chance if you want to keep playing in the dirt. |

I have mud flaps as well. But they are pretty stiff and I kept scraping them on the rougher parts and I think it broke some clips on my rear bumper. I might trim them down or something before next time. I will also look into getting a skid plate for the front and one for the rear diff as well. |

The main thing is to improve driving. I sucked at the mud conditions early in the season. Now I don't suck quite as much. Maybe next year I'll actually be "ok" at it Really it's a matter of going in slower so you don't push through in the front, and use the throttle to rotate the rear end. But really, Summit is just really slippery when wet. I do a ton of snow driving (in a WRX with Wintersport M3s), and the worst ice I've ever been on is no worse than when the water truck comes through at summit. but don't fret, there is one thing you have going for you: you drive a subaru. Try doing the mud with us in the RWD classes |

Looks like a great idea!! But have you used it before? I am wondering if connecting a regular hose will give it enough pressure to remove the pancakes. Specially on the hard to reach places. It took Gorka and I a while to wash the RX7 with a 3.500psi pressure washer.... |

love it. And for the record, I was +6 on that last one.
Next year we'll have our own cone(s) to mount up there. For aero. And because being silly gets 3 pics of my car in a row |

I just spent the morning with the car up on ramps and stands pressure-washing the whole thing underneath
Especially important since I'm going a drivetrain swap over the winter, and bolts and stuff caked in Summit clay would not be much fun! |

I didn't get to race in any the RallyX events this year but I'm making up for that now.
The wife and I are in Mexico and on our way to the start of the Maya Rally. The race finishes in southern Mexico and, if we have time, are considering a long post-race road-trip thru Belize and Guatemala. If the car survives all that I'll be back for the 2013 RX season. |
