Special Information
The rally ends around 9:45 pm in Jim Hamilton’s backyard (620 N. Penfield, Rantoul) for weenies, s’mores and scores. Beware… BEEWWAAARRRE… BE VERY WARE… all ye who dare to venture forth into unknown places on lonely byways in the dark! Brian is putting together his first Halloween rally and we have no idea what he might pull out of his bag of tricks and treats. Take some dark back roads (with some small gravel patches) on the way to some place spooky and then take some even darker ones on the way back. Please study the rally’s General Instructions before coming if you can. Spouses and guests who don’t run the rally are also welcome to come to Jim Hamilton’s after the rally to listen to participants’ tall tales about all the spooky situations (and possibly some mistakes) they overcame to complete the event.
Registration Info
The entry fee will be $20.00 per team. So that the rallymaster will know about how many cars to expect you are encouraged to preregister on CCSCC’s Online Registration System and/or to post your intention to come on the CICEnet.net thread for the rally. Please try to arrive close to the time registration opens. This will give you time to do the paperwork including certifying that your driver’s insurance meets the appropriate state’s standards, that the driver has a valid license, that your rally vehicle is being used with the permission of the owner, is in safe operating condition, is on the road legally, and that all its operational items such as lights, turn signals, brakes, horn, tires, mirrors, seat belts, windshield wipers and windshield washer are in proper working order. It will also give you time to review the rally’s general rules and to talk to other rally participants. This last is especially important if you’ve never run a rally before. Minors need a fully completed Parental Consent form.
Don’t Have a Driver or Navigator?
If you don’t have a partner to drive or navigate for you just come by yourself. At almost every rally there are folks who come alone then team up with someone else to run the event. If you are lucky you’ll have a chance to team up with someone who has some rally experience. Sometimes that increases your chances of winning a trophy. If you’re only slightly less lucky you’ll get to run with someone who has no rally experience and have twice the fun as you discover what rallying is all about. At the very worst (which almost never happens) there will be no one to partner with and you will get the chance to work some of the checkpoints and see how everyone is doing as the event progresses.
