What I'm hearing is that this one is the test case. They have not decided on expansion plans or any further locations, they want to try this one on for size and see how it goes before making future plans.

Don't blame them, lots of coordination amongst about half a dozen SCCA regions plus SCCA national staff needs to take place to pull this off, plus a lot of entry fees and rental fees to work out. Road Rall in particular is a really fun but pretty neglected program that places almost no emphasis on serious business, but is very difficult to master. Performance rally gets all the glory but you can't just walk up to a performance rally off the street and participate like you can with TSD rally.

Anyway, hoping it takes off like TNiA seems to have done. I already have my teammate locked and loaded if this Targa goes off well enough to have more.
