Oktoberfest Rally-X Oct. 14

For those of you with a dirty side, come out and slide your car around in a dirt field around a technical course marked with cones. This is a great venue for beginner drivers as it is an open course with soft dirt and the safety stewards to do a great job at keeping the course smooth with good flowing lines. Come out, join the fun, and get sidewayz!

WHO CAN COMPETE?
Anyone with a driver’s license and a hard topped car that can pass tech inspection.
