PR – Chris Greenhouse Gets Redemption at Sandblast

RALLY – NASA Rally Sport Announces Affordable Testing Program

I have to say that NASA Rally Sport has been extremely innovative the past few years.  From adding “Rally Moto” and experimenting UTVs to timing and scoring using jailbroken Nook tablets.  Not every idea works out, but some things just make logical sense and today’s press release is one of those ideas that makes sense.  Usually only top teams can afford to shut down a section of road and do proper testing, however NASA Rally Sport’s grassroots mantra is all about being inclusive.     Newberry, MI (January 29, 2015)The mantra…

The 2015 Red Bull GRC season is going to be more competitive than ever. The new schedule features 12 rounds albeit with a few “double header” events.

PR – RED BULL GLOBAL RALLYCROSS RETURNS TO DIRTFISH

The breaking news that really kind of isn’t.  Red Bull GRC officially announced today that DirtFish Rally School will be the host of the penultimate round of the championship this coming September 26th and 27th.  In all honesty, I can’t think of anywhere else in the Pacific Northwest to showcase GRC.  I was there back in 2011 and it was quite honestly the best venue they’ve ever had for Rallycross in the USA, ever.  The reason I say this isn’t breaking news is simply because of DirtFish Rally School’s involvement…
