Opening a new rally shop
June 04, 2014 01:04PM
We are opening a new rally fabrication/retail shop in Denver, Colorado.
Not a huge amount of inventory yet but building it up slowly and can special order/drop ship just about anything rally related.
Website will be ready for the public in the next day or two.
We are going to focus on fabrication and sales of specialty products for rallying. We provide full service and can do anything from start to finish and after including on event support.
I will be at Idaho crewing for two local teams (one BMW, one Subaru) and am giving cash contingencies to the first five customers that enter the event with greater than a 800 mile tow! The five have already entered but hope to offer similar contingencies in the future.

Enough about that, time for some pictures.
Step 1: Design a cool logo.

Who is "we"?

I'll be at Idaho crewing for at least two, and possibly up to five, Golfs.

Three partners. Scott McCarty is rallyist that started as my codriver as he built his Open Light car. Then he learned to operate a camera and came to every Max Attack! event with me. He and I then decided to start building roll cages, which we have done around 10-12 in the past couple years at this point. Wyotech grad, Land Rover master technician, excellent fabricator, welder and technician.
The other partner is Ryan McLaughlin who has mostly done hill climb series and Pikes Peak but is building another Acura rally car.
We for Idaho will be myself and a guy building an Open Light Impreza we caged back in December. It'll be his first time at an event so he's super stoked.

In addition to a cool logo, a name that exactly describes your business and just so happens to be your domain name! The website is still in progress with more product being added and such but Rally.Build is now open! For contact information, address, and hours visit http://rally.build

Ordinarily yes, but I'm flying in (commercial) so that might be tricky.

I'll see what I can arrange with one of the guys I'm crewing for.

That Sabelt deal seems super awesome…you should spam the Lemons Forum.

Goal is to keep most important things to rallyists in stock eventually.
Right now we have a good selection of Porterfield pads in stock. Special rallyanarchy member discounts, just contact me with inquiries! I'm mostly stocking the R4s since rallycross and street pads are what many want, but some R4 in stock. Eventually will have R4 for BMW and most Subaru fitments in stock at all times is goal.
We're trying to become an official dealer for Monit rally computers. Probably going to add Brantz or other options depending on the model but I like Monit's ability to use an ABS trigger wheel though we have yet to actually test that. I have a few in stock and sensors and door mounts.
Sabelt harnesses, OMP wheels, NRG quick release hubs, steering wheel hub adapters, Porterfield pads, Monit computers, etc.
