Welcome Message
Tarmac attack 2011!!! That's what we're looking forward to in Perry County, Tennessee. Welcome back to the seventh year of the most kick-ass tarmac rally in the country! We're proud to once again serve up what have become the legendary twisty roads of Perry County, Tennessee. On camber and off, super blind crests, roller-coaster drop-out curves, ridge tops and 'hollers', Rally Tennessee has them all. New for this year is a super-easy online registration system and for folks that want to participate, live in-car video broadcasts. I'm excited that you're coming and YOU should be excited, too, because "Real rally racers conquer ALL surfaces... including tarmac!"
Thanks,
Anders Green

"Two Buddy" Discount: Running on pavement is super fun and the people that have done it know this fact! To encourage new people to compete on tarmac, we offer the "Two Buddy" discount. Any entrant qualifies for the discount if he/she "brings" two entrants that have never competed at Rally Tennessee to the rally. The qualifying entrant will receive a 50% discount off the early entry for their appropriate vehicle (car/motorcycle). Restrictions:
This discount is only 50% of an early entry amount, regardless of when the qualifying entrant pays his/her entry fee.
The discount applies only to the "finder".
Car entrants cannot find two bike entrants. Recruited entries must be of like kind.
This is a refund given at registration, all entrants pay the normal amount up front.
The person/team claiming the discount must contact the organizer, before the new teams register, to document their connection.
3.7Entry Paperwork
To make registration more orderly and to encourage timely completion of entry forms, any team without complete paperwork submitted prior to the rally registration will be assessed a $20 Late Paperwork Fee.
For an entry to be considered complete, the following must be submitted:
the entire entry fee; - online form
all driver information - online form;
all co-driver information - online form;
all rally vehicle information - online form;
all service vehicle information (as needed) - online form; and,
all service crew information (as needed) - online form.
Please note that for the entry form to be complete, you must have your NASA membership and NASA Rally Sport competition license numbers and these must both be valid. The membership and license will be available for purchase at the event; however, applying for them at the event will still result in a Late Paperwork Fee. Please help our registration go smoothly and take care of your paperwork before you arrive. Our preference would be to have all the paperwork done a week before the rally and charge no one the Late Paperwork Fee.
Competitors will be required to sign a registration and insurance waiver, a standard liability waiver, a property damage waiver, a media authorization, a HIPPA waiver and a stage note disclaimer at the on-site rally registration.
