Renting the fairgrounds for just that didn't come cheap, and certain higher level sponsors didn't feel compelled to make the investment, so rather than spend personal money to make it happen the organizers decided to give it a year off. We're still looking into options for the future, but without permission to use forest service roads, its going to be tough to get much growth in Rally in this state. apart from the X-games I guess... |
