How about Single Venue Rallies? Bigger than rallysprints, smaller than the average club rally. Held at places like Rally Park Northeast, that new venue in NY, or Heartland Park.
Entry fees under $200 for maybe 20 miles or so. Controlled venues on private roads, and easier spectator control might lead to cheaper insurance.
Holding multiple different events, like a "hot import daze" with an attached rally would lead to guaranteed spectators numbering in the thousands. Then it's easier to bring in a title sponsor to help defray costs. Vendor booths could then be sold...local TV access, invite the media etc etc etc...
I have been to many non-rally events over this past summer: concerts, rib cook offs, car shows, festivals, paintball tournaments with DICK CLARK, and wondered why rally events couldn't be organized the same way.. and I think single venue events could be...
Is this type of event of any interest to the club guys?
