Oh come on now. By that definition, nearly EVERY rally is conducted on
public roads. The statement is emotionally loaded and strongly implies
roads currently open to the public. Given the hoops a committee has to go
through to close the road for competition, it really isn't fair. Besides I
can't imagine anyone creating 200 miles of special roads, and there are not
nearly enough truly private roads around.

**Incorrect, Jay. Um, no one ever said the "hot" sections of the rallies are

interspersed with regular traffic. Hell, LeMans is partially conducted on
public roads. Rally New York, public roads. Rally Tennessee, public roads.
Targa Newfoundland, public roads. I have about 35 more I could go on. Read
up some. Legislation, as I correctly noted, was recently passed in several
states to allow balls out competition on public roads. Those public roads
are OBVIOUSLY closed, except for transit stages which are open to regular
local public traffic, and which are actually 100% PART OF THE RALLY also.
