April Fools Rallye
Sunday April 6th, 2003
Santa Rosa, California

My wife and I did this run last year and had a great time (not to mention we came in third place for the First Timer category!).

As it mentions below, the Rallye is open to all cars. Last year there was everything from classic American / European cars to mini-vans. So to see a bunch of minis / MINIs this year darting through the backroads of Sonoma County would be fantastic.

Also mentioned below is that this is not a speed event. This is fun for the whole family. A co-driver, at least, is essential to help look for signs, etc. And don't worry, you won't get lost. Before going last year, we read the info in the following pdf file ( http://www.therallyeclub.org/ftcguide.pdf ). I found the instructions in that document confusing at first, but once we started the actual Rallye it all made sense. More information is available at http://www.therallyeclub.org/ .

If people are interested in going let me know so that we can organize a caravan up to the Rallye start.
