hehe... i don't think its just Polish people.... infact, i beleive the only reason why Rally Racing is not popular in USA is because there really isn't any good way to sell enough beer and pizza at those events LOL

No.. it's probably due to liability. You can set up a rally race but you can't have spectators because you might get sued and lose everything. Especially if you're selling beer to the spectators who are standing inches away from cars going by at 100mph with a 20 degree slip angle. We, as individuals, are responsible (and liable) for the actions of everyone else (regardless of how stupid they are).

That is true... liability is most likely one of the major factors.... altho one has to point out that there are ongoing series of USA rally championshis organized by RallyAmerica and SCCA. Hopefully with the help of X-Games this sport will gain momentum here. I really think that RallyRacing is by far the ultimate test of driving skills and automobile technology.

I just can't figure out how it is that MS just almost snatched top spot at ROC....than again ... he's not human LOL
