THE UNITED STATES RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP
ANNOUNCES 2012 CALENDAR
Author: USRC Media
(December 6, 2011) The
United States Rally Championship announced the following Calendar for the 2012
Season:
Rally New York USA, April 21 - 22, 2012
(tarmac)
Idaho Rally, June 9 - 10, 2012 (gravel)
Gorman Ridge Rally (California), August 25, 2012
(gravel)
Rally Delaware, August 24 - 25, 2012

Prescott Rally (Arizona), September 28 - 29, 2012

The United States Rally Championship consists of a combination of two
tarmac rallies and four gravel rallies. Events of the United States Rally
Championship allow for two-pass reconnaissance and pace notes. The combination
of tarmac events and gravel events, full reconnaissance and pace notes make the
United States Rally Championship unique in North America as no other series in
North America encompasses all these features. There are no other tarmac National
Championship rallies on the calendar in North
America.
The United States Rally Championship will continue taking bold steps to
make national competition more affordable and accessible to a larger number of
rally teams. 131 drivers and co-drivers participated in the 2011 season of the
United States Rally Championship.
The Championship structure minimizes or, for many teams, eliminates the need for
repeated cross-country travel during the Championship season by providing
competition on each side of the country. The final round of the Championship at
the end of the year counts both in the Atlantic Division and the Pacific
Division and together with the results from all previous rounds decides the top
spots in the Championship.
As in the previous season, any team either from the Atlantic Division or
from the Pacific Division will receive a free entry when competing in any
championship event outside its home division. More information on the United
States Rally Championship is available at www.usrallychampionship.com.
