UpState NY RallyCross for All! Sept 10th-05

When: September 10th, 2005 (Saturday)

RallyRPI is presenting our Inaugural RallyCross Event catering to everyone who has any interests in rallying, off-roading, and sports of the like. The purpose is to bring back the sport and spirit of rallying to the Upstate Region and provide an inexpensive avenue for amateurs to participate and the pro's to practice for the next Stage Rally Event.

This is our first event and Washington County Fairgrounds is gracious enough to help us with the financial situation. The most important thing right now is to reach the break even point for the first event, and if everything goes well the price will eventually drop and the number of events will go up. Trust us when I say we're non-profitable.

The following Website Contains Basic Information

http://www.geocities.com/rallyrpi/Rally_Cross.html

Please check it out and e-mail rallyrpi@yahoo.com (or reply to post) for any questions regarding what so-ever. We're looking for at least 30 early registrants or else the chances of this event happening might be slim (deadline August 10th). Please spread the word around and get this going! I promise it will be BIG and Enjoyable to all once everything gets on track. Help us make this happen.

Regards,
Dominic Gus Lin

So, anybody interested in running in this Rallycross? We've got a member who is recruiting from the Subaru Forums, and he seems to be getting good responses from them. Come on Evo guys!

There may be people out there who don't realize the difference between a rallycross, a TSD road rally, a pro-style offroad rally and a poker run.

It might be worth a little background info on what a rallycross is

Bruce Perry is a RochesterDSM member and a professional rally competitor. He owns Perry Park where he hosts SCCA RallyCross events.

I don't know how close RallyRPI's rules are to SCCA's, but this link may provide some background: http://www.flr-scca.com/rally/2005/r...oss/index.html

For those who are less familiar with RallyCross, it is pretty much an AutoCross on dirt/grass/gravel/etc. Rules apply very smiliarly to Solo2 competition and the point is to maneuver around the cones as fast as possible.

Very Cool man, we would be very glad to have you participate. Are you bringing your Evo RS? Please help spread the word.

One thing I do notice is, of all the events I've been going to, there's been a lot more Subaru presence (in the forum of clubs or teams) compared to Evos. I personally love both cars but I do drive a Eclipse, so I really wish for more Mitsubishi presence at these local rally scenes.

Shoot me an e-mail if you're interested guys.

Basically this event is opened up for all street cars and also rally prepped vehicles. If you've ever wanted to gain some experience driving in rally environment or have been thinking about getting into serious rally action, this type of event is the place to start.

Yep, any newbies welcomed, provided you have your licence of course

Please Send me your Name, Car, Modification if any, to Rallyrpi@yahoo.com prior to August 10th for early registration pricing. No money submission is required until you show up at the event, but if I have received your entry prior to the deadline, I will discount the fee.

I will be updating the headcount of early registrants tonight to give you guys an idea of what cars are going to be there.

Remember if this inaugural event is successful, the event fee will begin to drop, RallyRPI will hopefully gain some local sponsorships, and we will be providing frequent RallyCrosses all around the year (even in SNOW )

If anyone would like to jump on the wagon and help out, I would appreciate it very much. Shoot me a PM in that case.

Regards,
Dominic Gus Lin
