I'm betting when the club car breaks halfway through the day and half the people at the event don't get to run, the program won't do very well.
As much as I want rallycross to succeed, it's got the same problem the race program has: not enough local people with cars to run. At least with autocross and PDX you can run your street car with relatively little risk. But how many people have a car they're willing to risk damage to for 10 minutes of racing?
I hope people take a liking to it and go out and build a fleet of cheap little rally cars, but Reno is kinda small to draw a large field.
Here's to hoping the club VW lasts and we can draw NNR/CRS cars to the event and get some local people hooked on the format. If I had room to park another car at my house, I might consider trying to find a MkI GTi or maybe a Justy or something to rally. But I've got too many cars and not enough money for that right now.
