I hope that today is marked down in your history books. We are finally writing some fresh pages into the history of rally in the United States. Right now some of the fastest drivers in our sport are taking to the dirt 60 miles North of L.A. Included in the list – one Mr. Colin McRae. In one week, a hell of a lot more people will know why I spend thousands of dollars for five weekends a year.

I only occasionally post on the status of the sport here at rallynotes, so you know it’s special. I am a little scared that it won’t be a 100% representation of what rally is – but what on TV is REAL? I’m a little miffed that they included a paltry three 2WD entries – but when was the last time a 2WD won a national rally? I hope that some kids will realize that you don’t just walk out and plunk yourself down in a 300HP Scooby and call it good. I really hope that they will take their talent and start with a slower car and win a few regional classes before ordering the turbo. Get Mom’s beater out to a rallycross!

On Saturday, Christine and I are heading up to the Home Depot Center in the Dodge Rally Neon. I was able to score some free tickets from Irvine Subaru. If you’re heading up and you want to hang out – get a hold of me.
