Fred, I don't understand this question at all. Don't you rally at every race as it is?

Speaking of rallying, is there a good web forum for finding out more about rallying in the states? I've found a couple, but none of them seem that active. I've always wanted to give it a try.

Last year I did a snow event at Monticello and it was a blast! I have not seen any info about more this year though. I bought my daughter an A4 TQ so I can "borrow" it and do better this year

I would also be interested in Rallycross which seems to have some events in the Northeast.
