Wanted to make sure that this got out there for anyone who might want to check out a National Rally.

This is a Rally America National Points event, and currently has 55 cars entered.

Because it is a national event, you're gonna see some names out there that might be familiar, like Travis Pastrana, Dave Mirra, and so on.

Takes place in Pomeroy Washington, about 30 minutes east of the Lewiston/Clarkston area.

I really wanted to make this event, but I'll be at the Superlift ORV park in Arkansas on assignment for CRAWL magazine.

Beating on manufacturers' rigs > watching others beat on their rigs.

As the President of Superlift told me,

Yes I do. We had a hard time securing roads for the rally in the area where Olympus normally takes place. The move was finalized about 3 weeks ago.

Pomeroy is where Wild West Rally was held last year, for the same reason really, and turned out to be a great place to rally. The roads are wicked and the local land use there is great. They are more than eager to hand over roads and love having us there.

It is in the plans to make sure that Olympus returns to Western Washington next year.
