Dutton Rally Releases Pricing And Dates For 2007
Australia�s largest tarmac sprint series, the Dutton Rally has released pricing and confirmed dates for 2007.

The dates/rounds are as follows:

Round 1 QUEENSLAND 23rd - 25th February 2007
Round 2 NEW SOUTH WALES 25th - 27th May 2007
Round 3 WESTERN AUSTRALIA 27th - 29th July 2007
Round 4 VICTORIA 31st August - 2nd September 2007

Each one of the three-day events are made up of a variety of different skill sessions. Competitors can enter any from one to four rounds, and if they choose to enter at least three rounds they can vie for the National Series title.

Motorkhanas, individual circuit sprints, hillclimbs and timed quarter-mile sprints are among the range of activities that both drivers and co-drivers undertake during the course of the three days.

The emphasis in all Dutton Rallies is as much on skill as it is on time and scoring towards a win focuses on both. No public roads are involved, and the idea is for competitors to enjoy their cars safely and responsibly on suitable closed venues.

�Our events cater to the individual with a performance car, to use it the way it was intended to be used, with skill � and it all takes place on tarmac only - closed racetracks, airports and training facilities, not on public roads,� says Anthony Moss, National Series Director.

The Dutton Rally is not expensive to compete in either, with entry fee�s for each round starting at $2,075 for a Driver, and $2,790 for a Crew entry. If entering both driver and co-driver, both members will drive each stage, and compete for driver and co-driver honours, as well as the �Crew Championship�.

Entry fee includes all meals, official functions, merchandise, CAMS insurance, car decals and a one-hour DVD of each event including a CD of photos of your car all weekend. It also includes National Television coverage, featuring one hour shows on Channel Nine, and an additional three hours per event on Fox Sports.

No rollcages, racesuits or harnesses are required, the only modification is that a 2kg fire extinguisher is fitted. The only safety items needed for the drivers are helmets and long sleeve shirt and pants, and leather shoes at a minimum.

I agree, I'm all for supporting events etc, but for the $$$'s, there's not a hell of alot on offer.

Unfortunately for the organisers I believe that they've decided to use a different photography and videography company to cover their events this year.

I hope that they receive the level of service, and quality that they have in the past.
