The Alley Rally returns to the streets and alleys of Columbus and will leave you asking “WWJD?” (What would Jones do?)  We have tried to recapture the flavor (hopefully briny ice) of the original Alley Rally. The 30 mile course will traverse streets and alleys throughout much of the north side of Columbus.  There will be only one car class – “Ill equipped”.  The event will again feature BIG money cash prizes: 1^st  = $5.95 , 2^nd = $3.95, 3^rd = $1.95 and POR (“Press-on-regardless” i.e. Last Place Official Finisher)  = $0.95.

The format will be TSD (time/speed/distance) timed to the nearest minute, 12-15 mph average speeds combined with Q and A (question and answer) for landmarks found along the route.  The route will include more allies & fewer streets than in last year, because Dave laid out most of the course. 

Note that this is not a beginner rally and that, as in previous alley rallies, more experience and technical expertise than usual is needed for course following.  (if you've never been lost on an alley rally, then you've never run one.)   There will be multiple restart points along the route for anybody who gets totally lost to get back on course.

Note that this is a “for fun” gimmick rally, NOT a street race and all applicable speed and traffic laws are to be strictly obeyed. 

Because this is a mid-winter event it is suggested that all cars be equipped appropriately.  Entries should be two person driver/navigator teams. A flashlight and watch are suggested. A map of Columbus or GPS would be advised so that you can find the pickup points if you get lost.
