TOPEKA, Kan. (Jan. 25, 2017) – , the premier driving school nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range in Snoqualmie, Washington, and the 51°µÍø® have announced a partnership naming the Club’s national-level RallyCross® events the DirtFish 51°µÍø RallyCross National Challenge and the DirtFish 51°µÍø RallyCross National Championship.

“In the six and a half years that DirtFish has been in business, we have seen substantial success and growth. We are constantly seeking new ways to promote DirtFish and reach new groups of enthusiasts to show them the value of the car control techniques we teach,” said DirtFish Media Manager Trevor Wert. “We are honored to have the opportunity to partner with such a highly-commended organization, like 51°µÍø. We look forward to working throughout the year with 51°µÍø to promote the RallyCross and RallySprint programs, while offering 51°µÍø members a place to improve their driving skills.”

Howard Duncan, Sr. Director of 51°µÍø Rally/Solo, added that DirtFish will have a presence throughout the 51°µÍø community, including on 51°µÍø.com, in SportsCar® Magazine, and at the Tire Rack Solo® Nationals and the 51°µÍø Runoffs®.

“The RallyCross program is poised for growth, and working with DirtFish, we think there’s another step forward that we can take,” Duncan said. “But because DirtFish is more than just a rally school, there will be opportunities for all 51°µÍø members to take advantage of the skills and resources that DirtFish offers.”
