Last January's Rallye was truly FANTASTIC. Everyone that entered had a great time and we explored some new areas of San Diego.  I am planning on living up to the great effort and work that went into putting on the January event.

As an added incentive to boost attendance, there will be some excellent raffle prizes given away.  Each entrant (car) will be given a raffle ticket, and there will be a random drawing to select the prize winners (so you don't have to win the Rallye to win a great prize!!!).  You will need to be present at the luncheon, though! 

It is highly recommended to have both a driver and a navigator on the Rallye since there are clues and questions that need to be figured out and answered during the course, but single drivers are welcome and no one is excluded .

A little bit about the Ball Bearing Breaker Challenge Rallye.  This is a timed event BUT NOT A RACE.  It is meant to be fun!!!  Each entrant (driver and navigator) get an instruction packet at the start.  There are clues for directions, so you will not know the end point (a local restaurant) of the Rallye.  During the Rallye, each entrant follows the directions and clues, and tries to answer as many of the questions as possible.  The course has been mapped out, and driven (by ME) and a time has been calculated as to how long it "SHOULD" take each participant to finish.  The approximate time is around an hour and a half or so... enough to get the car running nice and enjoy some great scenery. At the end, we all meet up and at the finishing point for some fun and food.  The time of each car are calculated, and points given for each correct answer for the questions within the packet. The winner is the one with the most points!

Oh, for those people who may get a bit lost or mis-routed, a sealed envelope is also given with the final destination (and a MAP). Also an emergency number (my cell) will be given out.  I will have my trusty Map with me and I am sure to get you to the finish line no matter where you end up in San Diego (hopefully you don't end up in Yuma!!).

I am planning on an excellent turnout for the Rallye. Last January we had over 40 entrants and I will plan for some extras this time!
