Crossing big cities and little villages, contacting simple, caring and hospitable people. All this is part of Sertões International Rally. Besides the bold competition, the event is also a lesson for life according to the promoter. Competitors from all over the world face an unknown reality, with completely new landscapes.

Southern California’s second-generation desert racer Shawn Croll has drawn the first starting position in the featured SCORE Trophy-Truck division in the computerized drawing for starting positions for next month’s 15th Annual SCORE Las Vegas Terrible’s Primm 300 desert race.

This post is like more an “open letter’ as anything else. I see in my website stats VW looks at this website here occasionally just like at many others. I mean like VW in Wolfsburg @ the mothership….
