Come run the first race of the
2010 Palmetto Grand Prix series!



At the close of the Battle of Cowpens in 1781, two American officers—confident in victory—raced for the ultimate prize, a British

three-pounder cannon, called the “Grasshopper”.

 

Join the race and celebrate the 229th anniversary of this historic victory!
