If you are planning to join us for the 2013 Hemmings Motor News Great Race presented by Hagerty, then you will be pleased to hear about our big announcements! We are once again increasing the total purse to a whopping $150,000! Also, some of the biggest news in the rallying world is the Grand Championship prize, which is $50,000! With 50 grand up for grabs, you can bet there will be some serious competition for next year’s event. The prize money is based on a 100-entry scale.

Also, entry fees have been released for the 2013 event, with Private Entry being $4,500, Corporate Entry being $5,750 and X-Cup being $1,500. Keep in mind that we do have a discount program, that can save you $500. If you provide a $2,000 deposit before September 30, 2012, and then pay in full by December 31, 2012, we’ll knock $500 off of your entry fee! There will be no discounts available after January 1, 2013, so do yourself a $500 favor and get that entry fee turned in early!

We’re extremely excited about the 2013 Great Race, and you should be, too. It’s going to be an amazing drive, and we’re gearing up for a huge announcement regarding the route in the coming weeks.
