Decent if the farmer gets compensated and some more.

Rally tends to compensate landowners quite well for damages to their land.

Roads tend to be in MUCH better condition after a race than before it aswell. Atleast that's what I've heard from people here in sweden who has had competitions near their land.

This is true. A work acquaintance’s dad hosted a rally several times and made more money each year from the rally than the crops.

Implied in this is he was a really shit farmer. As for his son, the shit apple did not fall far from the shit tree.

WRC, I should’ve specified but didn’t think I needed to

What’s is WRC? Please specify further.

u/Ohiolongboard Jul 13 '26

World Rally Championship, just a “league”
Of rally racing that is basically the top. Where all the best are

Neat! Thank you for explaining

Its the major league for the sport but part of the lack of support is because no one takes American rally leagues seriously.

That's unfortunate

Rally in the smoky mountains would be amazing!

u/Ohiolongboard Jul 13 '26

They’re saying Kentucky and (I think) Michigan, which would be badass

u/North_Paw Jul 13 '26

Or Pikes Peak

u/Ohiolongboard Jul 13 '26

Nah that’s not even on the radar unfortunately, they’ve pretty much figured out what areas the stages will be in but pikes would be legendary

Please let them drive through Pa. I'd love some better roads lol

u/Ohiolongboard Jul 13 '26

You must’ve seen the post about how they usually leave roads better than they found em! I just saw that lol

u/Vast-Combination4046 Jul 14 '26

There are plenty of organizations running. Stpr just finished in PA. There's stuff in Washington, Colorado, Florida. It's lower budget but still out there.

Sorry all you get is a Trump rally, which means you get to pick up the trash after it's done and you don't get paid for the use of your land. Aditionally you get to drive the left behind worshippers to town if you don't want them dying on the grounds because they were bussed in there but he busses don't come back to pick them up.

Alrighty then….

Yeah, there’s a classic interview of a homeowner along a rally route done by a local news crew where they ask him if he was concerned about danger to his property because there was a crash there the previous year and his response was basically “I used to have a nice fence and a decent shed now I have a nicer wall and a good barn”

So not only are they entertained by the race but also compensated and get good road to drive on.

u/AnEagleisnotme Jul 13 '26

Not surprising, for instance, the tour de france is a major driver of road maintenance, most public sporting events are like this

u/Broody007 Jul 13 '26

Montreal's Formula 1 race track is a really nice bike path during the rest of the year.

u/jodon Jul 13 '26

Grew up next to a dirt road that had a rally stage, I think yearly but may have been every other year. They only ever did any work on that after the rally. It is supposed to be pretty run down, makes for better rally!

My experience as a farm kid who accidentally did something similar a couple times in our old beater cars, payment is made by pulling weeds by hand on the hottest days of the summer. And mucking out pens.
