I've never raced, rallied, autoX or cliniced, would the steel rods in my back prohibit me from participating in any of the events?
I agree with the advice you have gotten above and would also suggest getting a Dr. to check out your physical capabilities (sort of like the tests PT / Industrial Dr. / nurses give for people with worker's Comp injuries befor returning to work. X amount of weight in this or that extension).

I regularly race with guys that have some physical limitations: loss of hand, partial loss of vision in one eye, etc... Just think, Zanardi is doing Italian Touring Cars (in a 2.0L BMW) with his loss of limbs. Several guys I run with have had multiple bypass surgery (my father included) and they certainly do fine.

Go for it I say.
