WDCR-SCCA RallyCross #6 - Sunday, December 16th
The sixth and final RallyCross of the 2001 DC Region RallyCross series is upon us. On Sunday, December 16th we will wrap up the season by introducing a new venue and returning to gravel! The site is in Fishersville, VA, at the Augusta Expoland, near the intersection of I-81 and I-64. From I-64, east of I-81, take exit 91, turn toward the McDonald's, and immediately look for the green sign for 'Expoland'. Couldn't be easier! For those of you coming from good distances, it's a straight shot.
It's been more than a year since we hosted a RallyCross on gravel. Unlike Nissan Pavilion, where we held two gravel events in 2000, the parking lot at Augusta Expoland has a slate base, smaller gravel, and better scenery. Ruts and piles of gravel will be at a minimum, which means any possible damage on your pretty wheels (chipping, pitting) will be at a minimum, if not non-existent.
If you haven't been keeping up, DCregion RallyCrosses now feature SIX runs per competitor on two different stages (3 runs on each). Courses have been averaging a bit longer than 3/4 mile. In addition, we will be debuting a technique that will have displaced cones placed back exactly where they were, if that kind of thing gets under your skin.
Fees will be $25 for SCCA members and $45 for non-members IF you pre-register by 6:00pm, Friday December 14th at www.dcrally.com. Fees are $30 SCCA/$50 non-SCCA on the day of the event. Registration opens Friday, November 16th, no later than 6:00pm. Pre-payment is not necessary, but is appreciated (details on the website).
There is fast food nearby, so the lunch break will be shortened to a half-hour. We should be done by 4:30, giving everyone a chance to run in daylight.
Some hotels/motels nearby are:
Days Inn - right off exit 94 - 540-943-1101
Super 8 - right of exit 94 - 540-943-3888
Hampton Inn (big new one right down the road from Expo) off exit 91 - 540-213-9500
Finally, this site would make a great place for RallySprints or even a headquarters for a ClubRally or ProRally. Let's see plenty of competitors and some rally cars and make a real impression!! Also, go to www.dcrally.com to see the overall championship standings. There are lots of classes that can be decided at this one event! And stay tuned to dcrally.com to get details on next year's multi-venue, multi-surface, even more refined, and exciting DC Region RallyCross Championship.
