The Great Race
The Great Race is an antique, vintage, and collector car competitive controlled-speed endurance road rally on public highways. It is a test of a driver/navigator team’s ability to follow precise course instructions and the car’s (and team’s) ability to endure a cross-country competition.

Throughout the history of the Great Race, it has been a priority to encourage youth to participate, as a competitor or as part of the staff. Eventually, a special class was created for young automotive enthusiasts who wanted to pilot a vintage car in the Great Race. This division would become known as X- Cup. Team work and dedication are key factors in Great Race competition, making this a truly “Bucket List” experience these students will long remember!
