Rallycross Against Leukemia

I'm sure a lot of us are itching for a RX fix by now. Well, it's almost here...

The RAL RallyCross will be Sunday, August 22 at The Lodge at Belmont, NH. Right up the road from NHMS.

For those unfamiliar with the event, all proceeds go to the UMASS Memorial Fund for Leukemia research. The Rally program manages to raise several thousand dollars every year due to your efforts. Some points of note:

Anyone raising more than $100 will receive a free entry to the event. The highest fundraiser will also get a free entry to a subsequent RX. You can obtain pledge sheets here http://www.ner.org/region/racing-against-leukemia You can also create a fundraising page and accept online donations http://www.firstgiving.com/ummf It's quick and free. Please bring a printout of your page to the event if you wish to get credit for a free entry.

Online registration is available here:

Start raising money now! The 22nd will be here before you know it.

The DoubleCross is also back for it's 3rd year! It's comprised of both a Solo and RallyX component and will take part during the Saturday Solo and Sunday RallyX events. Drivers competing in the DoubleCross will also be able to compete in the full Solo and RallyCross events each day. We will be running two classes just like last year. Pair up with a RallyCross driver and share cars or bring two cars up. Or run the same car in both events. The choice is yours!

1. 25-driver entry limit. This may increase.
2. Cost: $40, donated straight to the RAL charity proceeds.
3. There will be 2 Solo runs on Saturday after the Challenge event, and two runs Sunday morning prior to the RallyX event.
