About this event
The Snowball Express Road Rally
The Arctic Alaska Region of the Sports Car Club of America will be sanctioning the final event of 2012—RPM Alaska's Winter Road Rally Season on Sunday, December 30th. Head over to www.alaskascca.motorsportreg.com today or our Road Rally in Alaska Facebook page, and you'll find information on our upcoming events.
We are so very fortunate that three Rallymasters have already stepped up to take on the responsibility of putting together challenging, clean (no busts) and creative Road Rallies for this winters' season of rallies and two have committed to 2013 summer events! Rallymasters want to know that rallyists are planning to attend and looking forward to competing on their rallies. We look forward to having you rally with us and encourage you to register today!
Cheryl Lynn will be the Rallymaster for the The Snowball Express Road Rally. She wrote, “My parents made me go to my first event back in the 1970’s and it was love at first checkpoint! The camaraderie, challenge, and creativeness—along with the adventure of hitting the open road—have lead to miles of roads while competing on rallies and while in search of rally roads from the Susitna Valley and Matanuska Valley, to the Copper River Valley, and the far reaches of the Kenai Peninsula. Many Alaska motorsport enthusiasts think of the sport of Road Rally and Cheryl as one in the same. Yes, I do still enjoy the sport, yet I encourage you to come join Alaska's Road Rally Family and expose yourself to this great sport!”
Given the generous volunteer hours needed to go into our events — from the pre-check workers time, Rallymaster re-check calcs/printing, and rally expenses—we need your registrations as soon as you know you'll be running! Please do not wait until the last minute — show your interest to our Rallymasters!
The starting location for the The Snowball Express Road Rally will be Carr's Jewel Lake near the Starbuck's and Deli, with 10:00A Registration.
You do need to arrive at 10:00A as you will need to take care of final registration matters, your vehicle tech inspection and more! So that you may plan the rest of your day, you should be at the ending restaurant by 3:00PM.
Don't have a dedicated rally partner? No worries—we are encouraging folks to arrive and form teams at the starting location! Register up so folks know you're looking for a rally partner.
Event requirements
REGISTRATION and ENTRY FEES
We encourage all of you planning to enter this event to register here at http://www.alaskascca.motorsportreg.com. One of your team will need to register the vehicle and their position on the team (Driver or Navigator) and the other will need to register their position on the team and personal information only. The entry fee for this afternoon rally is ten dollars for an SCCA member and is fifteen dollars for those needing an SCCA Weekend Membership. Please bring exact cash or check for payment at the event.
Due to the nature of the motorsport known as Road Rally, Rallymasters must have ample copies of the Route Instructions and Checkpoint Slips prepared in advance of the event; there are no copiers along the highway! This is why we need your registration here and we will keep online registration open until 12:59P on Friday, December 28th.
You may also call Cheryl at 243-2122 to register for the The Snowball Express Road Rally versus online registration.
