About this event
Event Announcement
Hawaii Rally Sport Association (HRSA) and Sports Car Club of America Big Island of Hawaii Region (SCCA BIHR) are happy to announce the Inaugural Paradise Rally-X HRSA/SCCA BIHR RallyCross! event on Saturday, January 29, 2022. The RallyCross will be held at Paradise, Hawaii.
While the Association entities are new to Hawaii, the event organizers have over a decade of experience hosting-insuring-sanctioning motorsports events in Hawaii. In fact, some of the group's members are responsible for bringing the first RallyCross events to Hawaii.
SPECIAL NOTE: There is a maximum pre-registration requirement of 50 for this event. The current Covid-19 Restrictions will allow our normal RX operations with 4 AM runs per participant and 4 PM runs per participant. The AM and PM runs will be separated by a lunch break.
The event will be RallyCross and participation is by invitation only. State of Hawaii and City and County of Honolulu Covid-19 restrictions and requirements will be practiced. A thermal scan of all participants forehead will be taken. Facemasks and social distancing guidelines will be followed. Due to the restrictions, only participants and their pit crew-guests are allowed to be on-site.
Hawaii Rally Sport Association (HRSA) is a 501(c)(4) non-profit group who host, promote and support Hawaii based Motorsports and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education Programs in the State of Hawaii. Proceeds from the events we host-insure-sanction will go to charity. Our current charity benefactor is Make-A-Wish Hawaii.
We are very fortunate to have partial sponsorship from these generous companies: Circuit Hawaii.
RallyCross is the most readily accessible form of extreme dirt motorsport in the Sports Car Club of America, and the perfect place to see if you have what it takes to powerslide your way to victory. Imagine a scaled down version of a rally stage laid out on a non-paved plot of land where the course is delineated by traffic cones. Best of all, it's great fun!

Minimum age for anyone in a competition vehicle is 14 years old.
