Unbelievable!
Too many rallies? Boo hoo... cry me a river. You guys are NUTS!
From '99-'04 SCCA rally was destroyed by greed, egos, lack of foresight, and too many other things to list here. The writing was on the wall starting in 1998.
Now you have NASA and Rally America putting on more and better rallies, but you guys moan because there are too many rallies, not enough entries, and you might not get on TV to wave at your mothers? Sheesh!
If I had the money I'd be building or buying a rally car right now rather than selling off the remainder of my rally stuff.
Whine and moan all you want about not being on TV, smaller entry lists, and having to pay for extra licenses, but don't try to tell me this is because rally unhealthy. Rally was very sick from '99 through '04, but most people were blinded by the larger entry fields. The current high cost of rally is due to '99-'04. Rally now might not be perfect, but it is a thousand percent better than it was!
Thank your lucky stars you can afford to rally. I wish I could go rallying (both NASA and R-A events).
