San Marcos — A few years ago, Brianne Corn set out on a mission.

Corn began clearing out a 14-acre plot of land she rents in Maxwell in order to create a track for rally racing. There wasn’t any rhyme or reason to Corn’s decision to pull thickets of mesquite out of the ground, but she felt a calling.

“This was totally one of those moments out of ‘Field of Dreams,’” Corn said. “If I built it, I felt people would want to come rally on it.”

Even though rally racing hadn’t been in Texas since 2005, when the last regular series was hosted in Dallas, Corn knew people would come out.

Corn, who won the 2011 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in the All-Wheel Drive Time Attack Division, tested the waters when she set up a Facebook page called, ‘Rally Texas.’ Soon enough, the page’s likes grew daily.

“You started to see a demand, which was great,” Corn said. “There was definitely a market.”

Corn posted photos of the track she designed and more people flocked to see what she was doing. Not too long ago, Corn and some friends decided enough was enough.

In January of 2011, after a six-year hiatus, the first rally event in the Lone Star State was held. Corn welcomed more than 20 racers to her 14-acre site off Farm to Market Road 1984.

Now, a little more than two months removed since their second event, Corn and friends are opening up the doors to the public on Saturday at 7 a.m. If someone wishes to race their car, all they need to do is bring themselves, $65 to cover fees, a helmet and a structurally-sound car.

“If your car can pass inspection in this state, then you’re good enough for us,” Corn said. “We only let one car go at a time, so there won’t be any danger of hitting another car and I made sure the course would be smooth of any debris.”

Participants will be allowed one run at a time, but they can get multiple tries in with the course. One lap should take between 60-80 seconds and veterans can expect to hit an average speed of 45 miles per hour.

The winner will only get a pat on the back, but for Corn, it’s a dream come true.

“For the amount of time I spent working on this track, it’s great to see other people enjoy it,” Corn said. “If you know how important it is for a driver to drive, then you know how important it is for me to say that I love to see people enjoying what I’ve built out here.”
