There is an active Stage Rally scene in the US. We have two sanctioning bodies - Rally America (
Rally America ) and NASA RallySport (
NASA Rally Sport ) with events across the country throughout the year, including national championships.
Many of the stages are on gravel but there are tarmac / asphalt stages also. I don't know that there is a dedicated "tarmac rally".
There are also active TSD rally and Rallycross scenes in various parts of the country.
The sport has been getting more press over the last few years mostly due to the likes of Pastrana and Block, and inclusion in the X-Games but the majority of competitors are still local folks racing on their own dime with whatever small-time sponsorship they can scrape together - often just free tire mounting & the like.
Crews and marshals are all volunteers. If you want to get involved, I suggest finding events in your area and volunteering to help out as a great way to meet fellow petrol-heads.
