After a very successful event in 2015, raising over £23K for Cancer Focus Northern Ireland, we are pleased to announce that the Rusty Nuts Rally will be running again from Friday 9th to Sunday 11th September 2016.
We have kept our chosen charity as Cancer Focus. The rally was created to raise awareness & funds for men's cancers and feel that Cancer Focus cover this very well through their 'Man Van's'. 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.
The last two years have been absolutely brilliant, and we would like to thank each and every one of you who had the faith in us to participate. As per last year, the number of teams 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. Any remaining slots will be released to the public on 1st March 2016.
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.

Fundraising:
As well as a fun packed weekend, we want to raise a lot of money for Cancer Focus NI. 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. After last year's total of over £23K we have a high expectation to meet or exceed!
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, instead 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!!

If you have any questions just ask! We have aimed to make this a fun packed weekend, with great activities and minimum cost.
