Does Rally have an option to run the same test more than once? Can it write the generated data to disk to be used in a subsequent run?  
In other words could you run one race then at some later time, re-run the exact same race with the same data?

Yes, most of the standard tracks download a fixed set of data and will use the same data set for all runs, enduring it is repeatable.
