I hate to be the guy who ask this, but I really can't seem to find an answer.  Is a bone-stock Chev Silverado HD (ext cab/full bed) eligible to compete, or is it an automatic ride height/CG problem?

Assuming all is stock and not lifted/big tires/etc. and you agree not to drive like an idiot, we would allow the truck to run.
We have had pickups and SUVs run with us on a regular basis but there is some amount of driver restraint involved so that it doesn't generate insurance paperwork.

Great! Thank you.   My wife and I would definitely be looking for wheel time, not repair/paperwork time.  We've been hooked on Solo, and think RallyX looks like a lot of fun.

You could always take the sts miata listed in your sig? I'm running an e30 BMW in prepared rwd, last week I ran time trials at Lime Rock with it, this week I am rally crossing with it. With no changes besides tires.

As was said above, the STS Miata would also be a good choice, if you have a hard top available for it - lot of Miatas have been seen at RallyX events and like most RWD competitors, the grin factor is off the charts!

A Miata at stock height would be ok, not sure a lowered Miata would be such a good idea at a RX.

What do you think about Audi? Is it Ok?

Audi is a great choice! You can race virtually any car - if it has a hard top and does not pose a major roll-over hazard, you can bring it out.
