The points structure for the 2009 season of MaxAttack! has been finalized. Click "read more" below to see the new structure.

The ultimate battle at Rally Idaho, and arguably in all of North American rally, is the battle between the Wimpey brothers of Quantum Rally Sport and the Burress brothers of Demon Rally.

These two teams fighting for the MaxAttack! Championship will be especially exciting to watch. Both are teams of brothers hailing from opposite coasts determined to prove their mettle. Piloting nearly identical Group 2 (non-turbo 2WD) VW mk2 GTI's, each team is respected in their home region as the team to beat. Idaho is the first head to head contest for these potent rivals who regularly finish on the podium with high horsepower AWD cars despite using half the horsepower. Both teams prefer a good fight to an easy win and push to the limit on every corner in every stage to prove they are the fastest. Their driving style and approachability make them wildly popular with spectators who venture into the forest to catch a glimpse of the action.
