Anyone know the dates for the Rim of the World rally this year? Their website is not updated. I am just hoping that it is not canceled. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

Several factors conspired to shut it down;

First the Forest service refused to permit it on any of their roads, which left it as a superspecial last year.

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...
