3. Need roads to run on - the logging roads most commonly used are typically privately owned, though I believe some are state-owned. I suspect paved roads would be mostly state owned which could be more difficult.
4. Need a lot of volunteers / organization to put on the event - realistically you would need to tap the resources & experience of the existing local rally organizations
5. Need competitors who are interested and capable of participating and willing to spend hundreds of dollars to do so - it's not cheap to put on an event
6. Need positive publicity for the events to have any chance of getting potential sponsors interested - again, existing rally groups, both local and national, would be your best bet.
Takes a lot of work to put on something "cool" like a rally.

Try tens of thousands expense for competitors and you're closer to the mark.
