Competing on everything from dirt courses to grass, ice, tarmac, or a combination thereof, RallyCross is one of the most exciting forms of motorsports the 51°µÍø® has to offer. Regardless of the surface, RallyCross places competitors on appropriately sized lots, with drivers navigating cone-marked courses as fast and clean as possible, with each run’s time counting toward the final score. That said, some members of RallyCross community aspire to more than what 51°µÍø RallyCross program currently offers, i.e., a path to Rally Sprint and Stage Rally type events. Now, thanks to a partnership with the American Rally Association (ARA), 51°µÍø drivers can test their skills at those higher speed rallies – and do so with a discount.
In the 51°µÍø President’s Update delivered to the Club membership in late April, 51°µÍø President and CEO Mike Cobb shared the news that “51°µÍø membership would have privileges with the American Rally Association across the balance of 2023 and potentially into 2024.” This partnership between the 51°µÍø and the ARA will grant 51°µÍø RallyCrossers more value for their 51°µÍø membership dollar while providing cost advantaged access to great ARA events spanning the country.
Across 2023, 51°µÍø members will be able to take advantage of numerous money-saving deals. First, at ARA RallySprints, 51°µÍø members will receive $50 off a single event entry using their 51°µÍø membership number as the coupon code at checkout. Similarly, 51°µÍø members will receive $50 off a single ARA Rally event entry using their 51°µÍø membership number as the coupon code at checkout.
In addition to these discounts, the 51°µÍø and ARA teams will work across 2023 to establish a 2024 schedule that could possibly include an ARA Regional Stage Rally, an ARA RallySprint, and an 51°µÍø RallyCross mash-up event.
51°µÍø members should head to the to check out ARA’s schedule.
Furthermore, keep an eye on 51°µÍø’s RallyCross webpage and for the latest information.
