YAY INDEPENDENCE! HRSA-NASA Hawaii NIGHT Rally-X

Coral Crater Adventure Park

About this event

Event Announcement

Hawaii Rally Sport Association (HRSA) and National Auto Sport Association (NASA) Hawaii Region are happy to announce the YAY INDEPENDENCE! NASA Hawaii NIGHT Rally-X! event on Saturday, July 11, 2020. The Rally-X will be held at the Coral Crater Adventure Park, Kapolei, HI.

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.

Rally-X participation is by invitation only. WE WILL BE FOLLOWING CURRENT COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. Due to higher Venue and Insurance Costs we will start enforcing a 30 participant minimum in order to break even on expenses. (Thanks to our partial sponsors and offers from others to make up funding shortfalls, we are committed to running the full season regardless of pre-registration numbers)

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.

Rally-X is the most readily accessible form of extreme dirt motorsport in the National Auto Sport Association, 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!

Spectators

SEE CURRENT COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS. While the event is not a spectator event (i.e. HRSA and NASA Hawaii Rally won't charge for viewing), we know that you may want to bring your family and friends to watch.  Coral Crater may limit the number of spectators due to parking area size or fire lane restrictions. Viewing areas are “outside” the barrier areas.  Each participant will be allowed one “pit crew” and one “pit vehicle” in the paddock area.  Pets are not allowed at NASA events, Rally-X included.

Registration Fees

Registration fees are $65 for current NASA members and $80 for all others. You must have a valid NASA Membership number linked to your profile to qualify for the NASA rate.  There is a minimum pre-registration  of 30 participants requirement for this event. T-Shirts with HRSA and NASA Rally-X logo will also be available for purchase at the event when available.  T-shirt costs are $15.

Only checks or money orders payable to Hawaii Rally Sport Association HRSA will be accepted at the event.

Competitors must present a valid driver’s license, and if under 18-years of age, they must contact the Region for a waiver form.  This form will need to be signed by the participant’s parents prior to competition.

Helmets. NASA Rally Sport Rulebook, Rally-X Appendix. Helmets must be worn by all drivers and passengers during competition. Helmets must be in good condition, fit properly, provide adequate peripheral vision and the chinstrap must be securely fastened. All helmets meeting the latest or two immediately preceding Snell Foundation standards (SA2015, SAH2015, SA2010, SAH2010, SA2005, M2015, M2010, M2005, K2015, K2010, K2005), SFI standards 31.1, 41.1, 31.1A, 31.2A, 41.1A, 41.2A, British spec BS6658â€85 type A/FR, or ECE 22.05FIA helmets 8859-2015, 8860-2010, 8860-2004, 8858-2002, 8858-2010 standards are acceptable.

Each competitor will be required to present their vehicle -fully muffled, seat belts in working order- to the Tech Inspection Team at 8AM.  Vehicles shall not have leaking fluids or “enhanced” tires (no home-made studded tires).  Vehicles with a high center of gravity or excessive noise may not be allowed to participate; this is at the discretion of the Event Chairman and Tech Inspector. 

Each car owner must pick a car number to easily identify their car on course. Only one number is needed per car, not per driver.  Numbers are first-come, first-serve per event, so register early. Please use magnets, or print/write large numbers on paper. The numbers must be readable from 100 feet away.

There is a maximum of two co-drivers per heat. In other words, a single car can be used by a total of four people. Please work out the details with all drivers of the vehicle prior to registration to determine who you will partner with.
