What is a Car Rally?
- A Navigation and Timing driving event over a specified route
- Can be a serious “TSD” time speed distance with route instructions that are challenging (this one is easy to follow)
- Can be a navigation only route
- Can in professional competition be on “closed roads” (not here we are on public roads at the speed limit)
- Can include requirement to see things on route (photo or ?)
- This event is an easy navigation and timing route with questions and answers needed on the route.
What do you need
- An automobile
- Driver and Navigator in the same car (2 people per car)
- Clipboard or folder for the navigator
- Pen or Pencil for the navigator
- A stopwatch (most smartphones have one)
- Drive at the designated speeds (allowance for stop signs is built in by the rally organizer)

- Do NOT follow the President and Vice-President. This is for your own good, last year they got lost at the 2nd turn and I am not optimistic they have improved at all.
