of the Vendor Invitation.
We would like to offer you an opportunity to bring a display or booth to our home base location for the Rim of the World Rally Saturday and Sunday, April 28-29, 2007. We think you’ll agree our facility at the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds is classy, spacious with lots of room for future growth! This venue presents an excellent opportunity to introduce your products and services to the large Southern California motoring and racing market. And very important - it’s indoors! Map of Poppy Hall
Join us for our very special 25th Anniversary Event. As the closest major rally event to the huge Southern California market, RIM of the World Rally attracts a large number of car enthusiasts and rally fans. We are once again planning an auto show as part of our event.
We're making some exciting changes this year. As you may have heard, the rally is no longer able to use the roads in the Angeles Forest. This year's event will be centered around our a greatly expanded side-by-side super special stage "track" at the Fairgrounds. This will focus all the action at the Fairgrounds all weekend. One of those changes is changing the event from Friday-Saturday to Saturday-Sunday. Both of these changes are sure to offer you greater exposure to the public and more value for the same price. The rally event is
We are offering businesses an opportunity to become an Official Product or Service of the Rim of the World Rally. Call for details.
On Saturday we will start all the rally action at the Fairgrounds. The entire event will be a running of our newly redesigned Super Special Stage. The Super Special will feature side-by-side rally action on a specially built course in front of the 7,500 seat grandstands. We are planning events and entertainment including auto shows with high performance import autos, competition and specialty vehicles to attract the public throughout the day. After an exciting and successful autocross event two years ago, we've expanded the event to both Saturday and Sunday. We are expecting our largest crowd ever this year with a new lower admission price for the public.The action will continue through the day ending with a giant celebration party inside Poppy Pavilion at 10:00 PM Friday night.
On Sunday the action on the Super Special Stage picks up again and continues until 4:30 PM. Competition will conclude with the traditional champagne finish indoors in the Poppy Pavilion at 5:30 PM followed by a short award ceremony.
