This looks like a fun thing to attend. Is there an age minimum for participating?

It definitely was fun!

I don't think there's a minimum age - though you'd have to be a licensed driver, legal to drive in NY state. That is, if you're (say) 16 and are licensed in your home state, NY might require you to be 18 to drive with full privileges - I don't know the specifics.

Anyway, I expect the next GGP rally will be next year. Meanwhile, contact the organizer Bob Gillespie. To find him, go to the 1st post in this thread, near the bottom of the first "quote" insert, see the link to GreenGrandPrix.com. Go there and find the link to register, or one to contact Bob G. Either way, it's simply an email link.

And, I'd expect there would be some similar rallies out in the Midwest, a bit closer to home for you.

Driving Lean Burn '97 Civic HX, lotsa mods by now! '89 Volvo 240 is semi-retired. I did love that car though!
