In the rally crowd, it might be nice to have something like that where only people that are showing up at events are in.
We kind of do... it's called an event.
LOTS of good discussion and back and forth is had at events, particularly events with turn-around stages.
If you go to events, then you also get a good feeling for who - on facebook and on forums - is active and has a current IRL perspective.

Yea, but I find that people are so spread out the it's hard to make real connections or get to know them.

I've been to 15 events (I think). Most in a course car or course bike. Also as crew or competitor. I only ever talk to most rally car people at an event.

The bike guys have a much better social system overall, and I have gotten to know several of them fairly well.

Dang.... my UID and password still work here after 5-6 years away from the rally scene. You missed your chance LOL

I too am trying to catch up, and hearing that FB is where a lot of folks have gone is not good news. Sounds like the old days of SCCA mailing the event results were better!

I'll be trying to catch up; don't even know what events are still running.
