Berlin, May 25, 2010: The Robin Hood Rally, a series where amateur racers race on closed public roads in the heartland of America, successfully completed the first segment of the 2010 series in Berlin, New Hampshire on May 22nd and 23rd. The merry band of 55 men and women spent two days racing Porsches, Ferraris, Corvettes, Lotuses, STIs and other exotic machinery in the area surrounding the Laidlaw property with all proceeds of local tickets sales donated to the City of Berlin.

"The Robin Hood Rally event in Berlin NH was a great success. We look forward to returning next year and working with our gracious hosts" said Stephan Condodemetraky, President, Robin Hood Rally. "The drivers completed over 200 laps on a closed public road course with thrills and chills at every turn. The drivers were incredibly excited and had a great time. We look forward to our next event in Tuxedo NY on June 25th and 26th."

The drivers also participated in a fundraiser walk to raise money for a local breast cancer survivor, raising over $1000 to help pay her medical expenses. "The Robin Hood Rally is committed to giving back to our host cities," said Kevin Sweeney, VP of Business Development.

During the course of the two day event, one driver was injured and hospitalized. The driver was treated locally for injuries and then taken to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and is in stable condition and improving. No other cars were involved.

The Robin Hood Rally's next race will take place in Tuxedo NY on June 25th and 26th.

About The Robin Hood Rally

Kicking off in May 2010, the Robin Hood Rally gathers 55 amateur racers as they spend two days completing timed runs on a designated Rally Course in 10 host cities spanning the American landscape. Representing a wide socio-economic mix limited only by their imagination and raw talent, racers compete for prizes including a Ferrari F430, a Porsche 911, a Corvette Z51 convertible and a set of steak knives. 100% of proceeds from ticket sales are donated back to host cities.

The Robin Hood Rally will air on television in Fall 2010.
