greeted the 20+ Competitors that showed up to run St. Louis Region's 2nd
and last RallyCross of 2002. As always, some of the folks that were
turned away at the first attempt to hold this event, when 3 inches of
rain fell in the wee hours of November 10, were unable to return. But
several folks that could not come THEN, took their place. -Mike B. 12/8/2002 Results for Pittsburg are posted here. 12/5/2002 After thoroughly inspecting the field this evening, it looks as if the Pittsburg event should go ahead as planned.
