GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
THIS IS NOT A RACE!
THIS IS NOT A SPEED EVENT!
THIS RUN IS INTENDED TO TEST THE RELIABILITY OF YOUR HOT ROD AND YOUR NAVIGATIONAL SKILLS. DRIVE IN A SAFE MANNER, OBEY ALL TRAFFIC LAWS AND STAY WITHIN THE POSTED SPEED LIMITS. WE NEED THE COOPERATION OF ALL PARTICIPANTS IN ORDER FOR US TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO PUT ON THIS EVENT.
USE CAUTION AND WATCH YOUR SPEED WHEN EXITING AND RETURNING TO THE START /FINISH AREA.
A “SWEEP” CAR WILL FOLLOW THE LAST ENTRANT TO OFFER ASSISTANCE IF NECESSARY.
AN “IDEAL RUN TIME” FOR THIS ROUTE HAS BEEN DETERMINED BY SEVERAL HOT RODS, SIMILAR TO YOURS, DRIVING THE ROUTE AT A REASONABLE PACE, ALWAYS STAYING AT OR BELOW THE POSTED SPEED LIMITS. AN ADDITIONAL HOUR IS INCLUDED IN THE “IDEAL RUN TIME” TO ALLOW FOR A SIDE TRIP, TO TAKE A BREAK OR TO DEAL WITH MECHANICAL DIFFICULTIES YOU MAY ENCOUNTER. YOU CAN USE THIS ADDITIONAL ONE HOUR ANY TIME ALONG THE ROUTE. AN AWARD WILL BE GIVEN TO THE CAR THAT COMES CLOSEST TO THIS “IDEAL RUN TIME” WITHOUT ARRIVING TOO EARLY.
RELAX, HAVE FUN AND ENJOY THE DRIVE!
