Here it is, and back by popular demand, our 2026 Fall Crossfire Rally will return to beautiful Alpine Helen, Georgia 17-20 September 2026!

Very excited to return to this location that features easy access to good touring roads and so much local shopping and sights to see within walking distance.
If you did not attend in 2025, here is your chance to come meet so many Crossfire enthusiasts in person, take in the many ideas and customization's of some really neat cars and the people behind them! Helen itself offers great dining, interesting shops, things to do, and really unique atmosphere.
We, the planning committee, hope you will join us in making this an even a more successful event than last year!
In that light, we have been able to add more rooms to our group rate than last year. Here are the hotel details:

All of your committee members are volunteers who have worked hard to put this event together and keep it going. Want to give back?
