The Rules
A complete list of guidelines and other important information is provided in the Rally Guide Book for your particular event. This handbook becomes available 14-30 days before Day 1 of the event.
THE IMPORTANT RULE
Drive safely. Drive within your own limits, the limits of your teammates, the limits of your car, and with care and attention to other road users. We cannot stress enough the importance of good road behavior on an event like this. Please drive carefully.
SAFTEY & INSURANCE CERTIFICATES
Any required Safety and/or Insurance Certificates will need to be presented on the first day of the Rally. Failure to produce your documents will result in your being excluded from the Rally.
RALLY ORGANIZER'S DECISION IS FINAL
No arguing.
CONDITION OF VEHICLE
The car must have any inspection certificates/stickers as required by its state of registry. Certificate dates must be valid from not only the first day of the Rally but also through to the last day of the Rally. The car must also be able to pass any Police spot check. Although the car must be a banger, this doesn't mean it should be unfit for the road. The car must not be structurally modified. See also "SAFETY AND INSURANCE CERTIFICATES".
INSURANCE
Your car and drivers must have valid car insurance. Anyone discovered without insurance will be disqualified from the Rally. They will then be shot by the Rally Firing Squad and your body attached to the front of a car in Mad Max style. Your corpse will be a visual deterant to others. See also "SAFETY AND INSURANCE CERTIFICATES".
DRIVING LICENCE
All drivers must have a valid Drivers License. Anyone found driving their vehicle without a drivers licence will be disqualified. You will then be summarily exectuted by the Rally Firing Squad and your body attached to the front of a car Mad Max style as a deterant to anyone else who is breaking the rules. (Do you see a theme here? Please obey the law.)
THE CAR ITSELF
The vehicle must cost less than $500. If you did not purchase the car you must provide a signed witness statement from someone stating that they feel $500 is on the expensive side as a valuation for your car. An accompanying photo of them laughing themselves senseless upon first site of the car is a plus.
BASIC SAFTEY
Please do not carry fuel in gas cans, jerry cans, or anything able to contain a liquid. If you are determined to bring extra fuel you must have a working and tested Fire Extinguisher. It is your job to check the extinguisher before you set out on the Rally. It is important that you adhere to any local laws - and it is your job to figure them out beforehand. There are plenty of gas stations in America, and unlike our European adventures, you can be reasonably sure that, even if all the cashiers don't speak the same language as you, they at least all take the same currency. And believe us when we say that Pay-At-The-Pump is a little luxury that would do Europe good. Take advantage of it!
DISPOSING OF YOUR VEHICLE
It is your responsibilty to dispose of your car, if that is your intention, once we reach our final destination. We would encourage anyone considering this to either sell the vehicle, or find a local scrap yard in the final destination area before starting the rally. Your car must under no circumstances be left in any airport or public parking lot.
