She butchers the language worse than JV and she's not being funny or clever. Did Farmers Alamanac show August 2015 as a wet month in Utah?

Sounds like the risk of fire after the extended period of no rain could cause BLM, etc. not to issue or cancel event permits whichever. If the fire risk gets to high the land management group doesn't want any extra people in the woods.

But yes.... it could have been presented much better in the release. No one is above needing proof reading.

I don't butcher the language, I enhance it and help others to think creatively..

Admittedly that is a big assumption that some can think at all, much less creatively..

When commenting and/or scolding others about butchering the precious language rules, let he amongst you who is without sin cast the first stone in your glass house.
If y'all could write half as poorly as I in half the languages as I do, all y'all would be doing pretty good, friend.

Spell check helps. But it isn't enough. Everyone needs to proof read what they typed. Many don't.

Does half as poorly equate to twice as good?

Oreos will save rally while Subaru/Pastrana/Spitzner/or whoever is currently sucking and draining all of U.S. rally of anything worthwhile.

Parsing what other people say, letter by letter, will save rally.

I'm not sure if it will save rally but I've been thinking a lot about what give other sport time on mass media. I've based my observation from the Province of Quebec point of view. They often talk about tennis, diver, moguls skier. But as far as I know we have some of the greatest rally in north america and a lot of talent too. The point is, all those other sport at some point had an international athletes having good result around the world. And that's why mass media talk about it. So if we want to "save rally" one of the thing helpful would be a North American rally time in WRC having great result and promising career.

The other thing that could "save rally" would be that it become a trend. Remember when highly modified street car Honda Civic wasn't a thing. At some point it became a trend, shortly followed drifting. It became a trend after big budget hollywood movie! You can't force people to love something but you can try at least to make it love it. And people just aren't aware of rally racing. So my idea would be that a rally movie with known actor would save rally. The scenario is well advance in my head with everything a good movie needs. Family trouble, love story, strong female character(to attract women to our sport because we know there's not a gender to a good rally racer there's skills) Action packed race, DRAMA! MORE DRAMA!!
One scene would be between a sister and a brother having argument in bar, brother is a little drunk taking the wheels. the sister ask her lover who is the rival of the brother to chase him to make sure he is okay. Big chase in the woods (every good car movie as a chase scene) then the brother crash the car very hard. Sister call the ambulance, give him medical assistance. Then ambulance arrives then the nurse tell them that they won't make it in time to the hospital. then the rival take the wheels of the ambulance and drives it rally style, follow great ambulance drift and jump through the woods. Add a little Scandinavian family racing along them and BAM blockbuster and BAM everyone wants to see,participate,volounteer to rally.

What do you tihnk?

Stopping the TV/movie silliness might save rally, but it is so badly damaged from the pursuit of TV that it might be too late.

I totally agree about stopping pursuing TV deals. But a movie would be to make rally more trending. And love the beast was more like a documentary. I'm talking about an action movie where us would find a lot of things that isn't part of rally but that newcomer would become interested in.
