Yeah I used to race a lot of Mtn. Bikes. and do the 6 packs. (still do)
Teh Liscensing Requirments are pretty simple. Show up pay teh membership fee and liscense fee (90 for Nasa, less if you are already a member)
The car needs to have saftey equipment, including proper roll cage. Helmets, intercom, drivers suits 5+point harnesses. The rule books are online at <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.nasarallysport.com">www.nasarallysport.com</a><!-- w --> and <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.rallyamerica.com">www.rallyamerica.com</a><!-- w -->
You can get a log book from either sanctioning body, and the otehr will accept it. The rules are very similar, sometimes classes jsut have different names in NASA than RA.
I'd be glad to co-drive for anyone interested. I also have a "psuedo rally" just west of town here for anyone looking to spend a day figuring out how an event would work. Get familiar with the format, and see some fabulous tarmac and gravel roads.
The next Tarmac event is Rally TN. The roads there are fantastic...flowing good run offs, and technical. You will not want a road race set up (track set up) on your car, it will be evil on these roads. raise teh car some, soften it up, as the roads are very undulating, adn often will have grass, dirt and gravel from other competitors "cutting" strewn across the road.
They set up Chicanes (made out of round hay bales etc) on sections where the straights would allow you to get going really fast. These limit top speeds, and also slow you down before the road gets tight and twisty or drops away through a long sweeping tightening turn.
Sorry I missed the last meeting I was flying to OTPR.
