Fast Driver - This is the cool stuff to me. Track events (time trial?) would be cool, you could use power to weight as a modifier and score everyone together. Hell, even an autocross would be fine.
The rally's of old where you had to finish a specific route with cryptic directions and specific average speeds could also be done.

RichS - we are working on some smaller Rallies... I dont want to call it a Low, Mid, and High... but bascically that is what we are doing. The Rally we have been taling about most is the Middle. The Middle is honestly going to be the most versatile. I hope you can join us at some point!
Yes... the Market Nitch for this type of event is focued towards Fast Cars... and not everyone that has a Fast Car is capable of driving as it was designed. So, we will give opportunity to do so on a Track in a controled envionment. We also have an event where the driver is taken out of his car and placed in a completly different vehicle to prove speed & ability.
I love it when you guys pry the right info out of me... We have 2 Track Events for this Rally!!
The Older style Rallies, with the Cannonball style controlled average speed and timed travel distances... We thought really hard on that one and we are still desciding on how to apply this with out being to strict on drivers and keep it Safe!! Speeding, risking your car, or others, not to mention someones life... We dont want you guys to think we are instigating you to drive fast or crazy, durring the actual runs. This will take some fin'ess.
Also... We are considering that some of you may be from Out of Town... so we have added Hotel stays for the Night Before the Rally... even if you are In-Town... the Hotel stay is included!! This way, its less of an inconvenience... and also gives us time to prep the cars.
You guys are awsome... please keep asking questions and adding suggestions... anything goes!!
