I will start by doing a local and may need to have a rally school like thing, so we need to know what to teach as well. I'm curious how regions that do a lot...
Hey Guys, Many of you should just delete this now. But for Clarence and Len, I am responding to Jay's comment on the presumed burgeoning Rallysprint...
We try not to, but don't always... We run 6 experience classes now, but have run 3, 4 & 5 as turnout warranted. That lessens the chance for large number of...
The membership was fully informed. As stated, if ProRally had remained as an SCCA sanctioned sport, liability insurance would not be issued to SCCA by any of...
I remain unconvinced. There are many insurance companies, but relatively few underwriters in the world. There are special stage rallyes all over the world....

Uh Walt, Not sure why you choose to shoot the messenger. I was simply responding to Clarence¹s request for a link to that press release. I don¹t have any LT...
One might erroneously conclude from Walt's posting that all one needs to do to solve the low entry problem is to write a UK/WNY/Ontario style of event. I have...

My needle is stuck on this issue: 1. put on a rally school 2. put on enough local sub-regional events so that the people running them can call it a hobby 3....

Jonesi gives good advice here. I'm sure his school materials will be good. You might also want to check out Jim Wakeman Sr's excellent instruction materials...

I appreciate all the suggestions but I know how to put on a rally. What I'm looking for is more abstract, what went wrong in the last 40 years? what went...
Len, Let me try to help you with this matter. I need to preface this explanation with the fact that this was the way scca insurance worked back when Pro...
I recall some pro rally death's being ready to come to court as part of the reason, don't recall details, have slept since then. RA did make some changes which...
And only 9% have run 3 or more of the 5 events /Bob ... From: Lenpicton@... Subject: Re: [SCCARoadRally] GTA ... back for a second try? ... Yes. 18.5% came...
Might add something about repeat business in that attendance number. Attendance without significant repeat business is frustration, not success /Bob On...
I don't think you want a metric or standard. A region that's been running a monthly program that's getting 15-20 cars for years probably has some ideas to...
If and only if those increases have significant repeat business. Same effect can be achieved, for a while anyway, by mining the local car BBS's. /Bob ... -- ...
Jay, Gee I don't know why you thought I was picking on you, quite the contrary, you were posting that old press release which extolled something which was ...
Len, Len, Len... Methinks you have missed the point I was getting at. Don't oversimplify things and hang on only one point of many as your pillar. And as...
Frankly I don't care what the STRAP says, it's just stuff someone put on PowerPoint slides. As a rally master I'm always interested what other people are...
Rally Dave, That explaination sounds right. The rates were going up and the scca didn't want to pay them. That sounds more reasonable than 'no insurance ...

You're right Bob, but if someone asked me that, it would take several hours of research. I might discard the form. Len In a message dated 11/6/2009 11:10:28...

so? 9% is not bad is that a reason to just give up and go fishing? not everyone can attend all the rallies. people have many things to do in their life , not...
It depends a lot on how many entries there are, but speaking as an organizer for performance rallies, where we run, in rough figures- the stripped down minimum...
Walt, SCCA rallies aren't all cut from the same cloth. Steel Cities Region held a 24 hour double National this past July that ran through five states, used...

For me it was simply for financial reasons - did not have extra money to run outside of GLDiv in 2009 and from what I can see will continue to be the case in...
One thing that often seems to be lacking is an effort to reach out and advertise to nonSCCA people and to network with other car clubs/motorhead groups. I...
For reference, the entire CY 2010 Solo National schedule (18 Events including Tours, Pro Solos, and the Championship) has been published. That includes one...
why make it complicated? just do a rally. you might meet some more folks that can help on other rallies... ,Len has good points for down the road. after you...
We were out in WI today and stopped in a small town for a break, while feeding trout in a pond we met a guy who said he used to attend 50-60 car rallies in...
As I said before, you may believe what you wish. Of course, insurance is always available for any thing if you want to pay the rates. Need a million worth of...
