Wheels Up, Nose Down, While You Rallycrossers Bounce To This
Your humble E-I-C pro tem recently had the chance to rallycross a WRC-engined Subaru in Texas and I enjoyed myself like you wouldn’t believe. More importantly, I met the Texas Rally Sport crew, which is even cooler than Toretto’s crew in the first F&F, although not quite as cool as any crew containing both Ludacris and Sung Kang.
TRS is full of people building everything from off-road Pinto wagons to B-Spec rally Mazdas, but they really love their Subarus.
The Subaru you see above is in the process of being rebuilt to something very interesting… and when it’s finished, you’ll be right there with me to check it out. In the meantime, please feel free to absolutely foam at the mouth about DOING THIS SORT OF THING ON A PUBLIC ROAD WITH PUPPIES AND CHILDREN NEARBY. Don’t worry. There were no puppies or children around. They were methodically slaughtered in order to clear the road.
Just kidding, everybody! Go out and have a great weekend!

Nail the brakes and the rear end rises. Release the brakes and it sinks. Repeat at the natural frequency of the suspension and watch the amplitude increase with each cycle. Nothing more complicated that what a kid does on a swing set.
Well as the Yakko, Wakko, and Dot would say: "Boingy, Boingy, Boingy." Or alternatively as Tigger says: "Their tops are made out of rubber, their bottoms are made out of springs..."
"puppies and children were methodically slaughtered in order to clear the road." Don't forget them Bunny rabbits. Pesky critters are always plugging the radiator and their remnants cook on the headers. Gawd! Awful smell.
Jumped into this post only because that was the best Subject line ever. Call me a sucker for 90's rap, I guess. Very nice, Jack!
