Irwindale, CA March 26th-27th
Rally Racing is the Lacrosse of motor sports as far as I'm concerned. It has never drawn big crowds here in the US of A but is exponentially more worthy than the lesser sports. We've made some feeble attempts at promoting it in the past, but apparently we only like to watch our events from the safety of the bleachers and in close proximity to $8 hot dogs and $15 beers. Beggars can't be choosers...
"Rallycross sees as many as six drivers line up to start at once, each piloting a high-horsepower compact car through race traffic over a challenging short course that features jumps, off-camber turns, hills and transitions between pavement and gravel. Drivers progress through a series of heat eliminations until the main event – where it’s flat-out mayhem to the finish.
Competitors race in either the two-wheel drive or all-wheel drive class in race-prepared, production-based vehicles. These are fast and nimble competition cars, with top-class competitors running 0-60 times in less than two seconds."

Thanks for sharing this. I wasn't aware of it at all. Given the huge growth in popularity of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series (LOORS)in the West and TORCS back east, I hope this catches on.
Nice article, thanks for the information.
