The New England Rally 2013

[Mojoe]

I'll start this saying that no bikes have done any of the Rally North America events. Will you be the first?

Ok, so I heard about Rally North America two years ago. And like my things in motor related events, "I said i want to do that". Well this past Summer I did. And it was a great time. Every year the route changes, as well as the charity the rally supports. They have raised money for the Wounded Warrior Project, Accelerate The Cure for MS, and this year is Camp Sunshine. We had 6 cars from Ohio at the even this year and there was an Ohio team on the podium for every day.

Included in your registration, covers your vinyl decal kit and track fee for $225.

Your team is also required to donate $75 to the fund raiser. They give you a site to register your team, takes about 5 minutes. Ideally, you should be trying to raise money, but it isn't frowned on if you just pay the entry requirements. So, $300 and you cover your gas, food, and the discounted lodging they have set up already.

2013's Rally starts in Ithica New York, at Watkins Glen race track, and finishes 3 days later in Canada. Everyday you go to a track of some sort. You will be given about 10 check points once you are at the start line. You have to find those check points that day. They might only give you a picture of a place, sometimes just a description, and so on. You have to find it, and get your team picture at it. It's challenging, it's fun and you get to meet some pretty cool people. Below you will see the link to the site with all the details. You will also see 3 vids linked below. They should give you a pretty good idea of the event. If this is something you are interested in, they only take 80 teams. This will fill up fast and they are at about 60 teams now. i would love to see more people form Ohio at this.
