Rally Colorado Just Two Weeks Away, But No Idaho Rally This Year

Dear fellow rally enthusiast, 

The first CRS event of 2021, Rally Colorado, is just two weeks away, on June 5 & 6. The organizers have put together an amazing event with almost 140 miles of beautiful stages in the mountains of northwest Colorado. With 30 cars on the entry list so far, we anticipate plenty of thrilling competition in each of our CRS classes.

Hey, good news! It’s not too late to sign up to race! Come join the fray! Of course, if you can’t compete, the event could still use more volunteers, so please sign up to help out.

While the excitement builds for Rally Colorado, we also have some sad news. As you may have heard, Idaho Rally International will not run in 2021. Logistical challenges prevent the organizing team from putting on a high caliber event this summer. The CRS supports their efforts and we look forward to the event returning in 2022. We encourage anyone interested in becoming a part of their organizing team to reach out to the Idaho Rally Group. This is a volunteer-run sport and the only thing preventing us from having more events is people willing to step up as organizers.

If you were planning to compete in Idaho, we hope you’ll shuffle your plans and take your rally car to Colorado. It’ll give you plenty of great seat time prior to running our three remaining rallies of the season.

Following Rally Colorado will be the Gorman Ridge Rally just north of Los Angeles, then the return of the Prescott Rally and its scenic red rock stages, and finally our newest event on the calendar, Rally Nevada in Tonopah, NV.

As we emerge from over 14 months of battling a pandemic, the optimism about the upcoming rally season is palpable. There may be hiccups along the way, but thanks to you and the rest of the membership, the future of the CRS is strong. 

See you on the stages soon!

John Dillon
CRS Director
