NORRA (National Off-Road Racing Association) has sent out invitations to prior racers and announced a number of changes to vehicle classes amongst other changes. Some of the racer beneficial changes include a payment plan starting this month so you can stretch the cost out over a long period of time. One of the class changes includes the elimination of a "rally" class and now includes three Rally-Raid classes (I would imagine "Rally-Raid Production" would cover most stage rally vehicles) and divides vehicles into a number of categories based on age and eliminates an "overall" winner (though adds an "overall" winner for each age category).
I don't know (OK, I'm pretty sure I won't) if I will return to this race in '16 but it was such a great/horrible/wonderful experience for me as a racer I can't help but recommend it to any rally/offroad racer out there. Nowhere else in North America will you have a chance to race some 1000 miles in a single rally event. Kudos to NORRA to continuing to make changes that benefit racers and not remaining static.
