TOPEKA, Kan. (July 21, 2010) 鈥� Registration continues for the 2010 RallyCross National Championship, to be held August 20-22 in Fountain, Colo. The fourth-year event will be held just 25 minutes south of Colorado Springs for the second consecutive year, promising an improved layout and bigger challenges for drivers. As in 2009, the U.S. Truck Driving School is the host site to the event, nearly in the shadow of Pikes Peak alongside the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. The site is a popular location for RallyCross within the Colorado Region. New for the 2010 event, the course will include one longer, faster circuit than a year ago, when the course was broken into two segments. Participants will also run in three different groups, instead of four, divided into Stock, Modified and Prepared categories. 鈥淲e鈥檝e learned from last year鈥檚 event, and feel like our changes this year will make the RallyCross National Championships bigger, better and more fun,鈥� event chairman Ken Cashion said. 鈥淲e built the faster course because of our ability to be more efficient in keeping the event on schedule, which is something our competitors have asked for. 鈥淏eing able to divide the sessions into three run groups also allows a break throughout the day, as competitors will drive during their group, work during the following group鈥檚 runs, and then have a run group for a break. It鈥檚 win-win for all participants.鈥� While the Fountain layout has been a staple of the Colorado Region鈥檚 programs for years, this year鈥檚 event will include influence from outside of the region. Matt Dahn, from the Detroit Region, will design the August layout. The third weekend in August has been a traditional date on the Colorado Region鈥檚 RallyCross calendar, including for the past five years. 鈥淲e moved the event from October because we know this weekend, historically, should give us more predictable weather,鈥� Cashion said. 鈥淏ut we do expect it to be hotter than it was a year ago. The sun can be intense during the day, and we ask competitors to be prepared for it.鈥� Online registration for the 20010 RallyCross National Championship is available at by clicking on the green 鈥淩ally鈥� tab at the top of the page and then selecting 鈥淩allyCross National Championship鈥� from the left-hand menu.
