Just spreading the word. Below is the e-mail from Rally Chair Mark Bowers:

You may receive duplicate emails on this subject as it is important to get the word out.
Based on limited entries at the end of early entry, and the fact that we have to start laying out large chunks of $$ in the next few days, I have
reached the painful decision to cancel 2009 Rally WV due to low entry levels. This is per the published 2009 Rally WV Supp Regs, section 3.4. This announcement will be posted on the rally website in a couple of days but you can consider it official. This is a decision point that is reached at some time in any rally, and I believe it is much better to do this as early as possible so people can cancel motel reservations, defer last minute car prep expenses, and so forth.
All competitors' entries fees received will be refunded in full. This may take a week or 2 to get out, so your patience and tolerance are appreciated.
I know this is much, much more than just a simple financial deal for all concerned. Competitors plan and saved up for each event, folks make vacation plans, and this effects championship points for USRC, ARC, and RallyMoto. It is very painful to me to make a decision that effects so many things up for so many people, and for that I must apologize profusely. The sense of failing many good people in a many ways is more than I can possibly express in words.
I want to thank all the competitors who have supported the event in all years including this one, and all of the volunteers who have contributed so much to each event, and who signed up for this year's event
Sincerely,
Mark B.
