<\/em>\nThe Great Race is a timed, controlled-speed, endurance rally based on precision driving and navigational skills in classic, antique, and vintage automobiles covering exciting routes like the historic Route 66. Their student division, known as the X-Cup, is designed for High School, Technical School, College and qualified Youth Group Teams to compete in this special Division of the Great Race.<\/p>\n
\u201cX-Cup has provided the youth of America the opportunity to learn first-hand about vintage vehicles and to travel to every corner of the United States and parts of Canada while involved in friendly competition,\u201d Great Race Director Jeff Stumb said. \u201cWe are proud to join forces with RPM to make the program even better and to reach new groups of young people giving them the chance to earn scholarships and to broaden their horizons by traveling to new places in old cars.\u201d<\/p>\n
