Registrations are now being accepted for our 7th Annual Green Grand Prix.
Online registration is on our website Welcome To The Official Green Grand Prix Web Site . We expect to have our first joint news release with WGI next week, but I wanted to give our past entrants first chance to register. We expect to see many new registrations once this event is publicized. In terms of track time alone, it is by far the most affordable way you will ever spend two hours in competition on the famous Watkins Glen Grand Prix circuit.

What- 7th Annual Green Grand Prix ( Doris Bovee Memorial Road Rallies)
Where- Watkins Glen International Grand Prix circuit ( NASCAR short course)
When- Friday April 15th, 2011
Registration – online at Welcome To The Official Green Grand Prix Web Site
Registration fee for team of two (includes driver and navigator)- $75 private, $150 for business entry. Entry fee includes two commemorative Tee-shirts and insurance costs and 2 weekend SCCA memberships (required)
Categories of vehicle fuel economy competition- At least 10. TBA.

You have your choice of entering either a 50 mile fuel economy (1 hr) rally or 100 mile fuel economy rally (approx 2 hours). Each event has a potty break/ optional driver/navigator change. You will average somewhere between 49 mph and 55 mph.
If your vehicle has at least 2 seats, you will need a navigator. Navigators need to be at least 16 years old and have a valid drivers license.

Green Grand Prix schedule 4/15/11 (tentative)

7:15 A.M. Registration for Fuel Economy Rally starts
