H&H Rescue has provided professional emergency response and water rescue at MHRA events for nearly 10 years.  Founded by Al Hoyt and Rich Hays in 2002, H&H Rescue gives both racers and officials the piece of mind knowing they are ready at a moment's notice.  Any driver will testify that the arrival of H&H to a crash scene is a welcome and comforting sight. MHRA is very proud and fortunate to have such a dedicated rescue crew.
