Brooklyn Bash RallyCross 2007

What is RallyCross?

RallyCross is an event where the driver's ability to control a vehicle on an unpaved surface is tested. A course is set on grass or dirt and defined by pylons. Each vehicle takes turns negotiating the course. Course speed is what one would expect on public dirt or gravel roads. Risk to the cars and drivers are minimal. The times for each run are totaled; the person with the lowest total wins their class. All drivers are asked to take a shift working the course (picking up cones which are hit). One can expect to get a little dirty at a RallyCross.

The Brooklyn Bash Rallycross course is held on a farmer's field. Thus, it is somewhat rougher than the Hillsboro site in Oregon. There are slight elevation changes and ample opportunity for “fun” placement of the car. The course is close to one mile in length

Everyone will have the opportunity to “parade lap” their car through the entire course. If anyone opts, at that point, not to run the event, their money will be refunded.

Who Can Enter?

You Can! A state driver's license is required. Participants under 18 must have a notarized permission slip (a "special" note from mom"). Drivers and passengers must wear helmets and seat belts for their protection. Helmets are required (Snell 95 and newer rating).There will be "loaner" helmets available, but in limited supply.
