GRRL! SUMMARY:
- SARA PRICE stands among the elite riders who’ve used Sonora Rally as their proving ground, alongside Dakar veterans Ricky Brabec and Skyler Howes. For a decade, this desert training ground has been the not-so-secret weapon for North American riders looking to bridge the gap to world-class rally competition – and PRICE’s inclusion in this roster proves she’s running with the right crowd.
- The Sonora Rally Navigation School opens registration for aspiring desert warriors, with sessions starting December 6th in San Luis Rio Colorado and February options in both Mexico and California. Led by Dakar veteran Darren Skilton, the $725 program covers everything from road book basics to dune racing tricks – the kind of hands-on training that separates weekend warriors from legitimate rally contenders.
- With only 20 spots per session, this isn’t your typical motorcycle course – it’s where serious riders learn the navigation and survival skills that make or break careers in places like Dakar. The program combines classroom theory with real desert application, giving participants the Rally Comp device experience and practical road book training that could be their ticket to international competition.
UPCOMING:
- Sonora Rally Navigation School – San Luis Rio Colorado – December 6-7, 2025
- Sonora Rally Navigation School – California & Mexico Sessions – February 14-15, 2026
