The Great Basin Rally Group LLC proudly announces the 2011 North Nevada Rally, July 8-9th. Based in Lovelock, NV, this year’s rally will feature 120 stage miles of smooth and twisty Nevada desert roads. With a compact two-day schedule, competitors will recce Friday, race 40 night stages Friday evening, and then race all day Saturday, finishing near Gerlach, NV, with the awards ceremony later that evening.

NNR is sanctioned by RallyCar/RallyAmerica and part of California Rally Series, SouthWest Rally Cup Series, Bilstein Cup Class, and the newly created Joshua A. Norton Rally Championship. There will be ~$1,000 in prizes given out courtesy of Lucas Oil!

Competitors are expected from the Pacific North West, Northern and Southern California, Idaho and Arizona for some exceptional grassroots rally competition.

Organizers are still recruiting volunteers for all positions, so this is your chance to come out and support one of the few rallies available in the Northern Nevada/California region. Volunteers (and competitors) can register online at www.RallyData.com.

From the desk of Dick Rochrohr, Director of the Idaho Rally Group:

Next up in the 2011 CRS Rally calendar is the Idaho Rally scheduled to take place in Boise County, Idaho on June 18th and 19th. The rally will be held on Saturday and Sunday with optional Recce Friday. In addition to being a CRS points event, Idaho is the first event in the west for the United States Rally Championship (USRC).

Saturday will be a coefficient 3 event with approximately 67 stage miles and 80 transit miles. Sunday will be a coefficient 2 event with approximately 44 stage miles and 65 transit miles. The Idaho Rally is unique in that it welcomes all sorts of vehicles; ATV, UTV, and Motorcycles will be allowed to trailer the 25 miles from the host hotel in Boise to the stages each day.  The organizers have set up a very compact rally with service in the town of Placerville both days. The stages will be run no more than twice each direction and will be on county maintained roads with a decomposed granite service with only light gravel. The roads should be smooth with good traction, speed averages historically are between 40-54 mph for the cars. Dick Rochrohr, the Director of the Idaho Rally Groups states, "We are trying hard to put on an affordable Rally laid out how we would like a rally to be laid out. The club has members with over 40 years of racing and promoting experience. We hope you come and enjoy the rally."

The 2011 Idaho Rally is promoted by the Idaho Rally Group and sanctioned by NASA Rallysport. The rally will be awarding CRS, PNWR, and out of region Rally America (RA) points and will accept both NASA and RA completion licenses.
