RALLYCROSS AGAINST LEUKEMIA:

The RallyCross Against Leukemia will be held at The Lodge at Belmont (the dogtrack), on Sunday. This is a cone course event, but runs are on the dirt parking lot at the Lodge, about five miles north of NHMS on Rt. 106. As well as being a charity event, this is also a championship event for the series’ regulars. This is one of the favorite events of the year because of the Lodge. A lunch buffet gives the drivers and workers a chance to get out of the sun and relax over a good meal. After the racing is done, a raffle similar to that held after the rally will occur while the racers chow down on appetizers and wash the dust out of their mouths. Additional raffle tickets may be purchased to increase your odds of winning the great prizes. The driver bringing in the highest total in donations will receive a free entry to a future RallyX. Any drivers with more than $100 in donations will get free entry to the event if they desire.

The XX (DOUBLE CROSS)

The XX will be spread over Saturday and Sunday. The two Solo runs will take place Saturday afternoon, following the Jeff Gordon Challenge (4:00ish). The two RallyX runs will be at The Lodge, early on Sunday morning, approximately 8:30 AM, before the RAL RallyCross. The rules: 1)all four runs must be made in the same vehicle; 2)one class only; 3)the only change allowed between runs will be tires; 4)vehicles need to be teched Saturday afternoon, before they can begin; 5) all runs count; 6)fastest overall time wins: 7)you will have fun. Who, and in what, will win the hardware in this exciting new event?

You must be pre-registered by 8/19 in order to participate, no walk-ins. Entry will be capped at 20. This is necessary so that the organizers can set aside time for the Solo and RX runs at the optimal times which won’t interfere with the normal events. This event is purely for fun and is not part of any championship series. The entry fee is $40, (money in hand) and ALL the funds raised through this event will be going to the UMASS Memorial Foundation. Raise your entry fee through donations. To register for the XX, contact Warren Elliott, wfelliott@snet.net or 860-608-9900.
