Rally America has rebranded, if you didn't know that. They are RallyCar now, and Rally America has been demoted to being the name for US stage rally. Personally, if the RallyCross is anything like it was in the second half of the X-games, its going to suck. Hopefully its better though. I still much prefer stage rally.
I am really looking to get in to stage rally like my dad, and am hoping it doesn't die out in the states. Heres some light reading about my dad if you're bored.
