About this event
RallyX
A RallyX is like a slalom only over a winding dirt course, and timed for completion to the tenth of a second. Entrants need a valid driver’s license, a street-licensed and insured vehicle, and a safety helmet with a current date.
A RallyX is enjoyed by novice drivers and experienced rally competitors alike. The varied courses at a myriad of locations provide user-friendly challenges throughout the year, without the high prices commonly associated with motorsports competitions.
