Washington DC Region Hosting October Double National RoadRally
The Washington DC Region SCCA, in conjunction with the Branded Rally Club of Maryland, is bringing back the double National RoadRally weekend on Columbus Day weekend in 2012, October 6 and 7.
Saturday will feature Eric Bloom’s award-winning Catoctin Monte. This event is a Monte Carlo style event, which means that teams are given the mileage for every turn and all possible controls, and the perfect Car 0 time to reach that control.

Sunday will feature the fourth running of two-time Gervais winning Lobster Traps Course Rally and the first Lobster Traps GTA Rally presented by Chris Bean and Steve Gaddy.
