STOP THE MADNESS!
For many reasons we all know intuitively, the duplication of effort in putting on rallies in North America has to stop!
Rallies are suffering, organizers are suffering, entrants are suffering and the competition is worse than ever.
We?re following three or more web sites, comparing rules, buying licences and in the end, competition and the sport is compromised.
To see this in action, compare the entries for Oregon Trails and Rally New York.
Now imagine those entries merged.
CARS is in turmoil but with active member clubs, elections and committees in place, things will work out.
NASA Rally Sport and Rally America are just being run from the hip.
Individuals with personal visions and goals are leaving competitors and organizers to float around shopping for what they hope is the best for their situation.
The US and Canada in one big series may be too much to ask and the FIA may forbid it, but that would be the ideal situation.

Face it guys, you?re battling for 200 (realistically) entrants over 3.5 million square miles - add Canada and that?s 300 entrants over seven million sq. mi.
?-
Everyone blames the other for lack of communication.
Please, just get over it and consolidate.
You?ll get more sleep and may get to have fun again.

Because I've decided this is an important topic, against all Internet rules, I'm posting this in four places; Special Stage, Rally America, NASA and Guide Auto.
Am I the only one ?
