Headwaters this year is a non-spectating event, so if you want to check the action, you will have to work the event. This is, however, a cool way to spectate as you are actually part of the rally.

Subaru plugs a big gap in its lineup this year with the debut of the new Ascent crossover. A three-row gap to be precise.
