Rally Appalachia 2011 ~ Benefits Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund

Rally Appalachia July 2011

1000 miles along some of the most scenic roads in the country, surrounded by eighty plus sports cars, muscle cars, and other unique rides, searching for secret check points at incredible places; this is Rally Appalachia.
Established in the winter of 2009, Rally North America is a non-for-profit organization, aimed at bringing automotive enthusiasts from all over the United States and Canada, together to do to one thing: rallying. While other large rallies require unjustifiably high costs to enter and participate in; Rally North America or RNA, makes road rallies fun and affordable for everyone. Each rally organized by Rally North America, emphasizes one key idea: driving for a cause. There are several charities and non-profit organizations that give back to their causes. RNA believes that by combining the love for the automotive lifestyle and helping those in need, it is possible to do something “good” with the automotive hobby.
Last year’s 2010 Route 66 Rally, ninety participants raised over $3,000 for the Stephanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research. Teams started in both Chicago, IL and Los Angeles, CA, and spent three days traveling down historic Route 66. Each day was filled with epic scenery and three checkpoints. Some 2,000 miles later, the east coast teams met the west coast teams in Amarillo, TX for a grand finale celebration and party. Awards were given out, sponsors thanked, and good times were had.
Rally North America is fortunate to benefit from the professional film work of TJ Fry and The MOB Theory, who continue to document these road rallies. There are also a vast amount of large-scale sponsors who help contribute to Rally North America’s road rallies including CJ Pony Parts, and CarDomain.com.
RNA is back at it again this July of 2011 with another exciting rally, open to all car enthusiasts. Get ready to drive through the mountains and along the coast, as we ramble on through the 2011 Rally Appalachia! All makes and models of vehicles are welcome on this exclusive VIP scavenger-hunt event. As of now, we have sixty-two cars/teams signed up for next summer’s rally. We are capping entries to 80 cars/teams; which means you can still sign up! As of November 18, 2010 we still have 28 open spots for the 2011 Rally Appalachia.

The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund has been chosen for this year’s Rally North America charity benefactor.

I entered the CJ Pony parts contest, and even if I don't win, I'm still going to try to do this

Well damn, just went to the web site and the registrations closed

Sorry we filled up quickly. There is a stand by list and we have had one team have to drop out already and one of the stand by teams has been added to the roster.

When you have 80 teams in any event there will be a few that have to drop out. There is no cost to be on the stand by list unless you actually fill a spot so I would suggest you toss your name in there while we only have few teams (3) on the list and best of luck on the CJ's give away.

I have been looking at this and entered CJ's giveaway too....looks like too much fun!

If you think you want to go you should sign on the stand by. It will be a blast no doubt. There is still a good chance you could be added to the roster. From what I tell there are 130 people entered for CJ's drawing and we are only taking 2.

Today & Tomorrow is your Last chance to enter to win a Free spot on the Rally & a $200 gift card at CJ Pony Parts.
