Look at these pages and see ("osanottajat" is the entry list). I think those are organized by month and day: 
It is interesting to read other on-line forums to learn the perceptions about rallying in the USA. I think this quote sums it up pretty good:
"I want to try out some rallycrosses, but full on rallying is VERY expensive and time consuming."
Somehow we have taken a sport that back in my dad's time you could buy a decent 510 or in his case Colt do some minor work to it, still drive it to work during the week and then rally it a few times a year, into a VERY expensive sport with very fast cars that you would not drive to work.
To some extent this perception is due to the focus on only the fastest cars by the SCCA head office. There is almost nothing that says you can participate, you can afford to join the fun without spongers. The sport is being promoted as a profession not a hobby, but the reality of the situation is there is not enough money in the sport to make it a profession so it is becoming a sport of the wealthy with a few odd sponsored cars mixed in.
Another reason is the total lack of support for beginners, it took me almost a year to get my 2nd rally car log booked as when I called around to the officials I got a name for someone 2 hours away who was never avaible. Not once in all my efforts did anyone point out the 3 other people who could log book the car with in 15 min of my house. (my first car was so long ago it pre-dates log books)
I expect Finland has a mentioning program for young or new drivers, I also expect they promote the idea of go out have some fun see what you can do, then and only if you do well should you look to make it into a professional effort. We need to do the same.
