 NASA has reached an agreement with the American Rally Sport
Group and Rally Promotions to administer the new "NASA Rally Sport" program. The mission of
NASA Rally Sport is to encourage the growth of stage rallying in the United States by providing
a customer driven organization offering safe, fair competition, and affordable events for the
stage rally competitor, volunteer, organizer, and sponsor. NASA Rally Sport has sought out the
best and the brightest in the rally community, and has formed an advisory group to guide the
development of rules, classes, and general guidelines for the conduct of its events.
The NASA Rally Sport Management Board will include John Shirley, Ray Hocker, Kendall Russell, Roger Allison,
and Wilson von Kessler as General Counsel. The NASA Rally Sport management board controls both business and
sporting decisions allowing for coherent sporting regulations and a solid business plan that is ever mindful
of the costs borne by the competitors and organizers. Using the NASA business model, NASA Rally Sport will
maintain a streamlined structure dedicated to not repeating the mistakes of the past.
The people involved with NASA Rally Sport recognize that the sportsman ralliest is the heart of the sport
in the United States. Please stand by as we go through our growing pains. We guarantee that we will not
lose sight of our constituency. NASA has been overwhelmed with questions regarding membership, licensing,

in short order as the new program comes online and is further developed.
