That's the funny part.  When you see videos of Rally events in other 
countries, the turns are lined with local townsfolk, and the drivers fly 
past within inches of cheering mobs.  I saw a tape at the Winter Rally I 
ran last year where a driver rolled the car onto its roof.  The car sat 
for maybe 30 seconds, and then people from the crowd flipped it back onto 
its wheels and it took off in a shower of mud to re-enter the stage.  Now 
that's participation!
