Bad for Dakar but good for the rest of us!

[scary fast hummer]

I'm sad to see the Dakar take such a blow as I really would like to have done it someday. Its way out of my league as far as costs go though. Whats been bad for the Dakar has been good for the rest of us underfunded, un licensed, privateers. Here is a link to whats going on in the rest of North Africa.

Good read. Got any more rally website links you could post. I'm really interested in learning more about the sport estecially rallies local to western U.S.A.There are no "marathon rallies" in North America.

This forum is a great place to stay on top of what Americans are doing in marathon rally events.

Western USA rally training (cars can be accommodated if there's interest):
