New York, May 17, 2010: The Robin Hood Rally, a series of amateur races on closed public roads across the US, will kick off the 2010 series in Berlin, New Hampshire on May 22nd and 23rd. The band of 55 merry men and women will spend two days racing Porsches, Ferraris, Corvettes, Lotuses, STIs, racing cars and other exotic machinery and then spend two nights enjoying the local hospitality of Berlin.
All proceeds of local tickets sales will be donated to the City of Berlin. One-day tickets are $10 in advance, two day passes are $15 in advance and one day tickets are $15 at the gate, available at http://robinhoodrally.com/productcart/pc/Event-Tickets-c8.htm.
