Sno*Drift in Atlanta Mi will kick off the 2019 ARA champion. That’s pretty exciting. With Subaru leaving Rally America LSPR was a bit less exciting last year, enough that I didn’t go with year. Maybe I’ll finally make the trip over to lower Michigan and go to Sno*Drift I’ve only been talking about for 4 years.
The 2019 Winter even it scheduled for January 25,26

I wonder how long Rally America will last. I know we didn’t go to LSPR last year mostly because Subaru wasn’t there.

Fellow Oppos run in SnoDrift, you totally need to go.

Last year sucked. Mostly because it was 65-70 degrees. Not what you’re hoping for at a October Event

Yeah I think Dusty Ventures runs it. I’ve seen his car at LSPR in the past but have met him. If that is who I’m thinking of

I think you’re right. Santiago of Escuderia Boricua does as well.

Dusty’s a fancy co driver so he has been there in multiple cars

FUCK. YES.
RallyAmerica has been a goddamn clowncar shitshow from the word go. I mean seriously, go to their website. It’s stuck in 2005. Everything is stuck in 2005. I get it, gotta make money to spend money, but investment has been non-existent. Marketing has been non-existent and just abysmal .
I mean, look at their YouTube channel. Their latest attempt is a ‘Cash Cab’ clone. Which was cancelled in 2012. I mean, really ? And the production values are just... it’s painful to watch. TV deal to bring in money? Last I heard they still hadn’t even tried since around 2007. All the management does is sit around and blame everyone but themselves while trying to be ‘cutesy’ and ‘folksy.’
Cutesy shit.
Event cancellation is everyone else’s fault!
Yet guess what their website says and is actively advertising? DING. The cancelled Rally Wyoming.
I mean, just basic management and marketing failures abound . Even if I was still physically up for rallying, RA operations alone would make me skip the whole thing. And that’s before all the self-inflicted shitshow drama management has created. I mean seriously. It’s off the charts bullshit and all because of the ownership.
RA cannot die soon enough. Simple as that.
