Off Road Racing in VA?
I'm wondering, since I might be getting a Jeep Cherokee, is there anywhere I can race it? I'm not talking Mud Bogs (not out of the question, though) but something like the autocrossing and time trials I will be doing in the BMW, but on a dirt course. Is there such an option?

SCCA actually has a rally cross club in this area. I believe they have a yahoo group.

Looks like it's mostly for cars, but I sent an email to their technical director. If they won't allow me to play in a Jeep in RallyX, then I think it's time to create RallyX for Jeeps, Trucks, and SUVs that will start a ladder system towards off road truck racing like CORR, SCORE, and the many others that exist.

because of rules, and lawyers.... unless you have a (insert racing associat here) approved roll cage, you will not be allowed to 'race' your jeep.

Actually, the DC Region SCCA Rally-X doesn't seem to mind Jeeps and other 4WD trucks and SUVs. I also didn't mean "wheel-to-wheel" racing, but stuff like Auto-X, Rally-X, and NASA Mid-Atlantic's CircuitCross where it's one at a time, racing for time. I want to see something that will get the ball rolling for off road racing enthusiasts and amateurs to get into more professional off road racing just as Auto- and Rally-X have.

Email a guy named Rob Bergstrom... http://www.hrm-usa.com/About_Us.html
He may have some ideas about other places you can play with your Jeep in the ways you mentioned.
Hope it helps,
Jon
