Fun Rally SUNday June 1st
Posted: Mon May 12, 2008 12:58 pm
The Capital Driving Club is pleased to announce that we are hosting a fun rally event on SUNday, June 1, 2008. This drive takes place on public roads at legal speeds in your own car. You can bring the whole family along if you’d like but you’ll need at least one passenger who’s willing to navigate for you. Participants will receive printed navigational instructions that also contain scavenger hunt questions that will challenge your reading comprehension, listening, and observation skills. This isn’t a TSD rally so you can leave the fancy rally computers and GPS at home. However, there will be some tie-breakers in the event more than one team answers every question correctly. You will need a car that is in good working order, a full tank of gas, and a fun attitude.
The rally begins at the Emmitsburg Public Library, winds its way through the Catoctin Mountains, around Frederick, and crosses the river at Point of Rocks to conclude in Purcellville for a late lunch (restaurant TBD). We scheduled this event before the Chesapeake Chapter of the New England MG “T” Register rescheduled their annual British Car Day. If you feel conflicted and want to attend both events, we’re working to have an alternate ending for you folks who wish to finish up at Lilypons instead. The total distance will be around 100 miles and the average time will be around 3 hours. If you live in VA you can take the back roads through horse country to get home. If you live in MD, you may wish to consider taking historic White’s Ferry back across the river for a memorable experience.
