Rusty Nuts Rally is running again this year 11th -13th September. There are 30 spaces with just 11 remaining. Most details are on the facebook page www.facebook.com/Bangerrallyni but just to give you an idea:

After a very successful event in 2014, raising over £14,000 for Action Cancer we are pleased to announce that the Rusty Nuts Rally will be running again from Friday 11th to Sunday 13th September 2015.

After much consideration, our chosen charity this year is Cancer Focus NI. This rally was created to raise awareness and funds for men’s cancer in Northern Ireland. Cancer Focus NI have a dedicated ‘Man Van’ for screening Northern Ireland men which has recently had its funding stopped. Sadly, we all know someone who has been affected by cancer and all of the money raised by Cancer Focus stays in Northern Ireland to provide screening, counselling, support and health promotion.

Last year turned out to be an absolutely brilliant weekend. The video compilation of what we got up to can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6ObF:confounded:5N8
The number of teams this year will be capped at 30 vehicles, and as a thank you to last year’s participants, we are offering them first refusal on the slots. Members of Rusty Nuts Rally 2014 have until the 28th February to return their entry form and deposit. Any remaining slots will be released to the public on 1st March 2015.

As per last year we have negotiated some great deals based on volume and due to this we will only run the rally if a minimum of 20 cars participate. If we have not reached the target of 20 cars by 1st April, the event will not take place and all money will be refunded in full.

The Route:
Friday 11th September 2015
Starting point Belfast over to Eddie Irvine Sports for Karting or Paintballing, before following the Coast road through Larne to Ballintoy.
Base camp is Sheep Island View Hostel in Ballintoy for overnight accommodation.

Saturday 12th September 2015
Starting from Ballintoy, continuing around the coast road into County Derry/Londonderry and Tyrone. Base camp is Todds Leap Activity Centre in Ballygawley for activities and overnight accommodation.

Sunday 13th September 2015
Starting from Ballygawley, a short drive to Co. Armagh to Alltrak Rallysport for a track day and Rallykarts followed by a closing ceremony.
Base camp for those who would like to attend will be back at Todds Leap Activity Centre in Ballygawley

Entry Costs:
The cost to enter the rally will be £65 per vehicle and £60 per person. There must be a minimum of 2 in each team (for safety reasons) and the maximum is the legal limit for the vehicle.
For example a team of 2 will cost £92.50 per person to enter, a team of 4 will cost £76.25 per person to enter

What you get for your money:
- The £65 car entry fee covers the route, daily challenges, window stickers, a track day on the loose gravel track at AllTrak Rally Sport along with Rallykarts, and closing ceremony.

- The £60 per person fee covers
* a donation to charity on your behalf,
* Karting or Paintballing at Eddie Irvine Sports Centre
* one activity at Todds Leap

Accommodation Costs:
We have negotiated great deals on accommodation:

Friday Night – Sheep Island View in Ballintoy have offered an overnight stay in their apartments for £15pp. Those who wish to camp (limited spaces) will be charged £12 per tent. An evening 2 course meal is priced at £6.50pp and a cooked breakfast is offered at £4.50pp

Saturday Night – Todds leap have offered an overnight stay in their cabins for £15pp and camping for £5pp. A BBQ meal is offered at £3pp and a cooked breakfast is offered at £5pp

Sunday Night – Todds leap have offered to accommodate any groups who wish to return at the same rate as above.

Please note that some teams may have to share apartments and cabins, but these will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. The occupants of each room are responsible for any damages.

Fundraising:
As well as a fun packed weekend, we want to raise a lot of money for Cancer Focus Northern Ireland A donation from each person is made to charity, but we also would like to see individual teams fundraising. This could be by obtaining sponsorship on your car or by collecting money from friends, relatives and colleagues. Collecting buckets and sponsorship forms will be provided.

The Car:
Cars/Vehicles must have been purchased for less than £500. There is no limit on the amount you can spend after the initial purchase (e.g. MOT preparation, paintwork, fairy wings etc) We ask that each team respectfully sticks to the £500 budget and puts effort into decorating their cars. Cars which simply appear vandalised will not be allowed to start the rally
All vehicles MUST be road legal. This means tax, mot, and ALL drivers must be insured.

Deciding the Winner:
This is not a race, there are no points for the first to cross a line or arrive at a location.
Teams will receive points for various things during the weekend.
Vehicle - each car will receive points for originality, the more permanent the modification the more points, the wackier the paintwork the more points. Please note that any vehicles which may be offensive to either other teams or members of the public will not be allowed to participate (including sectarian or racial pictures, words, phrases etc)
People - points will be available for fancy dress
Challenges - there will be challenges set during the day. The only requirement is that each team must have a digital camera (and charger)
Fundraising - the more money a team raises the more points they receive
The team with the most points wins the Rally including unlimited bragging rights!!

This is all the information for now. I am sure we have forgotten to tell you something, so if you have any questions just ask! We have aimed to make this a fun packed weekend, with great activities and minimum cost.

Put in my entry after hearing about the the goings on last year.

Can't wait, scouring for cheap bangers and odd machines.

Who's gonna partner with me? Drop me a PM. I'll promise to bring all my Gospel music and never shut up about Jesus the whole time! :grinning: How's that for an incentive?

p.s. I'm a loud sleeper - so would need single accommodation, though if I enter with a van, that might not be a problem.

It's a deal mate - I couldn't think of a better partner - Let me know what your wife thinks! lol

On the plus side, I'd like to make you an offer of £500 for the corsa :grinning:
