The American Rally Association is a stage rallying sanctioning body in the United States. The organization was founded by Tim O'Neil, Martin Headland, and Chris Cyr of Team O'Neil Rally School in 2016, and sanctions the ARA National Rally Championship, which is the lone top-level national rally championship in the United States since the demise of Rally America after the 2018 season. It is a subsidiary of the United States Auto Club.
Sanctioned events
The ARA sanctions all of the events in the ARA National Rally Championship calendar. They also sanction many regional rally events that are classified into three categories; National, Super Regional, and Regional.
