The New York Region Rally Board is entering its fifth year of successful rallycrosses on Feb 18th at the now familiar "Irish Cultural Centre" site in East Durham, NY. This will be the first 'winter' (snow) Rallycross held at this location.

A challenging new course is planned to manipulate the snowy conditions. In order to ensure a greater number of timed runs, there will be no crossovers on the new course, and a limit of 60 entries will be imposed.

Due to the increasing popularity of our sport, it is recommended that you preregister via phone/fax to secure your entry spot!

Entry fee is $65.00. Six (6) timed runs...conditions permitting!

There is currently almost 12 inches of snow on the ground with more snow expected. The course will be plowed days in advance to allow the surface to freeze hard. the surface is expected to be very icy. Plan to use appropriate tires for the conditions. Spiked tires are not allowed! Equip your vehicle with a tow rope and highlight your vehicle's tow hooks (if possible) to prevent delays whilst being assisted after an "off"!

East Durham is located approximately 50 miles southwest of Albany, NY. Take Exit 21 off Interstate 87 and follow Rt. 23 West (towards Wyndham) for 8 miles and then take right fork onto Rt. 145 North. Proceed north for 6 miles. The Rallycross site is in the "Irish Cultural Centre" parking grounds - approximately 500 feet beyond the first flashing yellow traffic light, on your left.
