Rally America has announced that they will be holding European style rally cross races for the 2010 season.
All 3 events will be held at New Jersey Motor Sports Park in Millville, NJ as exhibitions but RA is looking to expand for the 2011 season.
If you don't know what euro rally cross is like think WRC cars with twice the power running in a a road course sprint race format on mixed gravel and pavement purpose built tracks. The top class cars can do 0-60 as fast as an F1 car, on dirt.
To start there will be two classes with one for AWD and another for two wheel drive.
This should be a big boon to rally in the US as it is much easier for spectators to enjoy and with wheel to wheel action it is great fun to watch.
I sure hope it catches on. If you are in the NJ area check them out and make them successful! I want to have local rally crosses in my area to participate in.
