Rally Ready Driving School

Rally Ready Driving School We offer Rally Schools, Private Instruction, Corporate Events, and Membership just outside Austin, TX It’s about the art and finesse of car control. It's fast.

Rallying is about more than driving around and having fun (don’t get us wrong, it’s definitely a lot of fun). Nothing compares to the adrenaline rush of mastering the skills of left-foot breaking or learning the Scandinavian flick. Our courses range from a half-day introductory class to a three-day rally university. Rallying is empowering. It's sideways. And it's the most fun thing you never knew

you needed to do. We’ve designed our driving curriculum so it’s engaging, informative, and the most fun you’ll have anywhere. To align with the exhilarating, one-of-a-kind experience our classes provide, we use an online voice that’s impassioned, knowledgeable, and thrilling. Our accomplished driving instructors can’t wait to share the sights, sounds, and feels of rally racing with the community.

Earlier this month, three of our boys trekked up to Missouri for the Show Me Rally.

Show Me was the first stage rally for both teams after a few years of competing in our RallySprints and getting training and seat time here at the ranch.

Both teams had a very strong showing with .kj / finishing 2nd overall and 1st L4WD with their 2004 STI and / bringing home 4th overall and 2nd NA4WD in their H6-swapped GC Coupe.

They will both be back competing next month at The Do It For Dale, TX RallySprint on December 14th so come give them a high five or a hot chocolate!

The TORE Championship comes to a conclusion this weekend with the season finale double header this Saturday, November 2nd.

The class 300 championship has already been settled with the legend taking the win in his hugely upgraded Raptor, but the Class 400, 200, 100, and SxS are still up for grabs and anything can happen.

We’re watching the weather closely and we’ll keep you posted on track conditions as things evolve, but assuming all goes our way, racing kicks off at 9am for 5 hours of Baja-style action right here at The Rally Ranch. See you Saturday!

Ashlee Simpson must have been talking about post-RallySprint hangover when she said “On a Tuesday I am fading” because after raising the RallySprint bar once again, it’s really hard to get back to normal life.

The Lost Pines RallySprint was flat out awesome.
Big congrats to and .kj for taking home the Rally Car win and for taking the Class X win by over a minute 🤯

Mika and Luke, our 13 and 14-year old competitors both did an amazing job, Luke narrowly missing out on the overall podium by 8 seconds to Lucy Block in her Rally3 Fiesta while Mika rounded out an all Can-Am Class X podium.

Thanks to our awesome team of volunteers and organizers, the event ran smoothly and finished down to the exact minute it was scheduled for. Big high fives and a fresh 6-pack of juice boxes to our new Clerk of the Course, .kj, who somehow found time to organize the whole event, drive his car, and co-drive in 2 cars.

Spectator turnout was awesome, as was the nearly 20 registered media who lined the stages capturing some unbelievable content.

To each and every spectator, media, volunteer, and competitor, thank you for making this such a special series, we truly can’t do it without you guys.

We are hosting our next RallySprint, The Do It For Dale, TX RallySprint on December 14th right here at The Rally Ranch in beautiful Dale, TX, and It is bound to be our biggest and best event yet.

So hit the link in bio to snag your tickets early, and we’ll see you December 14th!

Lost Pines RallySprint is THIS Saturday! Meet your drivers:

Adam Lz is bringing out his 2006 Subaru WRX STI to The Lost Pines RallySprint for another attempt at the overall win.

At our last RallySprint, Rally Austin, Adam and Kj had the pace to take the rally win. Unfortunately they missed a stage after Adam gave KJ a spinal adjustment over one of the jumps.

KJ got a backeotomy and Adam is ready for redemption as he takes the fight back to the front of the pack. Will he come out on top??

Find out this Saturday at The Lost Pines RallySprint right here at The Rally Ranch. Tickets and info at rallyready.com

We have had the pleasure of rebuilding this beautiful GC Coupe Stage RallyCar for a client.

has done an entire rebuild on this car. Rocking a built EJ257 and a 5 speed Dog Box transmission.

The new wiring harness is the star of the show. A new Link G4X with a PDM, Motec C125 display, and a full motorsport harness replace almost all of the OEM equipment.

Pair that with a super detailed and brand-themed circuit board livery that was designed and installed in house to make this STI an absolute beauty.

Event entry is OPEN for Round 3 of our Roadrunner Cup RallySprint series.

We are stoked to introduce some brand new roads and configurations to the itinerary for the next round.

You can expect your usual bouts of craziness but now with the revival of some roads that haven’t been used since 2017!

Adam LZ will be back with a vengeance to pick up where he left off before giving KJ a backeotomoy in the spring to prove his pace in a rally car.

KJ will be competing against Adam in his freshly rebuilt car but ALSO co-driving for Adam! Can KJ beat himself or will the lake car drown his dreams again?

Lots of exciting storylines, ya don’t want to miss it.

See y’all at the Lost Pines RallySprint, October 25-26.

RWD IS BACK! And it’s turbo, and more awesome than ever with our new RWD Subaru Legacy GT!

The new fleet of Subaru Legacys are powered by turbo 2.0L EJ20 engines, converted to RWD, on gravel suspension, and they do a great job ruining perfectly good Hoosier gravel tires. Pair that with a icy cold coolshirt and a frosty and you’ve got a recipe for a perfect summer day at The Rally Ranch.

The crew cooked this up from the parts bin as a prototype and it immediately topped the charts as one of the most ridiculously fun cars we have at The Rally Ranch.

But don’t take my word for it.

Book a class in this car or any of our other cars online at rallyready.com and see for yourself.

We can’t stop building new cars, so our L4WD 2006 STI Rally Car is for sale!

Why are we selling it? Only because it’s so incredibly spicy, it’s overkill for most of what we’re doing here and we’re working to finish up some similar cars that are all matching spec and more affordable for us to run. Cheaper for us to run = more seat time for you!

With that out of the way, this car has been at Rally Ready for the better part of 3 years and it has been nothing short of phenomenal at every event.

It’s lived it’s life as a rally car since new, going straight into service during the Rally America days, then ARA before Hoonigan bought it to test for a Gymkhana video. picked it up after that and brought it to the ranch to compete for his first time in our RallySprint championship. It did pretty dang well for him, getting him to an overall victory, and the sickest jump shot of all time.

It has a fresh high compression EJ257 running on MS109 making loads of power on the 36mm restrictor, 3-way Reiger 570 dampers, floor mount dual master cylinder pedal box with AP brakes, Motec ecu, proper diffs, the whole kit.

This is one of the spiciest cars you can buy and less than ¼ the price of what it would cost to build new.

And unlike many other used rally cars, this car is truly 100% ready to go rallying as it sits.

We’d love to keep it here at The Rally Ranch for a new member, so book a private training session in R4 today, see if it’s the right fit for you, and come drive it as often as you’d like and mop up at the RallySprint championship!

Happy birthday to the RallySprint legend, Bryce Marking! He’s won multiple events in multiple cars and is always the biggest smile in the paddock. Now somebody please explain to him that he’ll go even faster if he’ll get a codriver! 😅

JC is getting Morrison's car all dialed back in after a wee little tap on a big steel guardrail. He found the car had a small previous repair so it will be even better than it was before the accident!

Throwback to 2017 when we had everyone’s favorite Aussie come to the ranch to rip around in one of our old EP3 Honda Civic school cars.

“Nah mate, I don’t think you understand. I don’t know WHAT I’m doing. I’ve never driven a car with a roof on it.”

Fun fact, Dave birthed the DR’s Texas nickname, Danny Ricky, on this day in honor of Daniel’s preceding visit to do a helmet trade with Dale Jr at a NASCAR race.

Hat tip to the homie for bringing Daniel out. I think we’re overdue for a refresh in our newest cars..

Even better, you’ll hardly need it as we’ve partnered with COOLSHIRT temperature controlled garments to make sure you’re chillin’ all summer.

Fear not about the rains, as we’ve put hundreds of trucks of gravel throughout all training grounds at The Rally Ranch and you can book your 1-day and 2-day Rally Schools with full confidence that we can handle anything the weather throws at us. Except cows. Like that scene in Twister.

We’re halfway through the Roadrunner Cup RallySprint Championship and proud to present our 2024 Rally Austin winners!

Class X Overall Podium:
P1: Terry Madden- 27:09.9
P2: Ty Paxson- 27:20.4
P3: Mika Block- 28:11.1

Rally Car Overall Podium:
P1: Dusty Peterke/ Robert Judge- 28:12.6
P2: Josh Stinson/ Matt Michell- 29:50.6
P3: Bryson Elghanayan- 30:11.6

Terry and Mika had a great battle all weekend in their shared Can-Am, and defending Class X champ Ty Paxson pushed hard and found some serious pace to stay in the game with them. Mika put in an amazing debut rally drive to top off the podium the day after his 13th birthday.

Dusty used his homefield knowledge to his advantage yet again to drive a consistent and steady race to bring home that win in his H6-swapped GC Subaru, just ahead of last year’s Roadrunner Cup points champ Josh Stinson, and Bryson Elghanayan who towed out from California for his second RallySprint with us.

Special shoutout to Adam LZ who made his rally debut this weekend and had blistering pace, winning 5 out of 8 stages. Excited to see you back in the rally car soon.. Maybe for a stage rally?

Thank you to all our drivers, volunteers and spectators for coming out and making this event special. The RallySprints get better and better every single time we run them and we are thankful for the help and support.

Summer is inbound so lots of time to get your new rally cars built up for the Lost Pines RallySprint on October 26th, and we’ll be doing private training in all of our new rally car builds throughout the summer so snag your class today.

Could be you up there spraying the sparkling water next time.

Last weekend we hosted the Shootout, Round 3.

The usual suspects were out along with an entourage of trucks brought out by COBB. Changing weather meant different track conditions than at Round 2. Slightly more silty and a little loose in the tight corners led to some mega shots.

We now have about a month and a half break before coming back May 18th for a double whammy of TORE Rounds 4 & 5.

That gives you enough time to get an allocation on a new Ranger Raptor or buy a new SIERRA ECHO and come put down some rippers of a time for the rest of the championship.

See ya’ll in May!
