Welcome to another Rallying in America: The Recce Podcast episode. Last week I had the pleasure of attending The Boone Forest Rally in Eastern Kentucky. There I set out to do interviews with the drivers, co-drivers, crew and others.

Special thanks to Erik Hubbard, The Boone Forest Rally and Backroads of Appalachia.
