Park Rapids, Minnesota - 47 cars are entered in the 6th running of the Headwaters ClubRally for the 2000 ClubRally season. This year's event will be doing double duty as it is also functioning as the 1999 ClubRally National Championships. This one-day event will be held on May 13th in the White Earth and the Paul Bunyan State Forests just outside of Park Rapids, Minnesota. The event will be covering over 150 miles of road with approximately 65 miles of closed competitive stage roads that the competitors will contest upon.

The ClubRally National Championships are an invitational only event that will determine the 1999 National Champion in ClubRally. The top two ClubRally Drivers for each class from every Division of the SCCA are extended an invitation for this event.

The ClubRally level of competition is designed to be the middle step to the ProRally Championship in the SCCA Performance Rally family. A ClubRally National Championship is considered, by the SCCA, as the second highest award in the sport of Performance Rally.

Selected News and Entries (driver/co-driver/teams/events):
-- The 2000 ClubRally National Championship Invitational has found a permanent home. The Rally de Paris, held just outside of Paris, Texas, will be hosting the ClubRally National Championship Invitational in January 2001.

-- Henry Krolikowski (CenDiv 1st G5) has decided to drop his bid for the National Championships in ClubRally to give his new 2000 Subaru Impreza WRX a quick workout. The car is built to the FIA Group N specification and will be competing in the Open class for the ClubRally. Changing classes will remove him from ClubRally Championship eligibility.

-- "Mad" Mike Halley (MidDiv 1st G5, 1st Prod) realized that his Peugeot would not be ready for this weekend, so he put out the plea for a rent-a-ride. Jim Konkler offered up his Volkswagen Rabbit. "I just bought it to RallyCross and use for a project car over the next year. However, it looks like the project will be happening in the next 48 hours instead." Jim is entered in the event as a co-driver for Doug Dill in his Group 5 RX-7. "I just hope we don't pass my own car this weekend."

-- Paula Gibeault (SoPac 2nd, Prod) is making her way here after acting as RallyMaster for the ProRally event Rim of the World last weekend in Palmdale, California. After a long week of organizing, this event should come as a good relief for her.

-- The Production GT class (PGT) has a real potential for the event's most watched battle. Chris Czyzio (CenDiv 1st PGT), Celsus Donnelly (NeDiv 2nd PGT), and Roger Hull (SoPac 1st PGT) are all contesting for the National Title in the Production GT Class.
