Forestburgh, New York — Robert Cella has announced that he will be again sponsoring several teams at the two-day tarmac Rally New York USA to be held in Walton, New York and Monticello, New York on April 16 - 17, 2010. Interested teams are invited to submit their requests for sponsorship by e-mail to [email protected].

Robert Cella is a retired engineer, a radio operator at Rally New York events (www.RallyNewYork.com) for many years and a great supporter of the sport of rallying and Rally New York events. This is the fifth Rally New York event in a row when the competitors become the beneficiaries of Mr. Cella’s awe-inspiring generosity.

In addition, teams from the Atlantic Division participating in the United States Rally Championship (USRC) (www.usrallychampionship.com) will be competing for the total of $12,000 in subsidies to assist them with traveling to the final round of the 2010 Championship Season at Prescott Rally in Prescott, Arizona on October 1 - 2, 2010.

Albins Gear (www.albins.com.au), the “Official Gearbox and Drivetrain Supplier to USRC,” in addition to 10% discount on all products throughout the 2010 Season on orders through Moore-Sport Inc. (20% discount until June 1), will award points under its USRC Contingency Program that will pay $7,500 in product credits at the conclusion of the 2010 Season. In addition, Moore-Sport Inc. (www.mooresport.com) under its own USRC Support Program will award at Rally New York USA the total of $1,000 in cash rewards redeemable for competition products and a $50 cash award for the most improved team.

Competitors participating in the New York Rally Championship (www.rallynewyork.net/nyrc.htm), sponsored by Tearoff Guys (www.tearoffguys.com) and presented by Thunder 102 Rally Radio (www.thunder102.com) will compete for the prestigious Thunder 102 Cup to be awarded at the end of the 2010 Season. Each day of Rally New York USA is a separate event of New York Rally Championship.

In a related development, TreadZone (www.TreadZone.com), a Competition Tire Dealer has announced that it will again provide at-event and pre-event rally tires services for Rally New York USA competitors.
