Join us for the 29th Chelsea Road Rally
Sunday, May 19, 2024 11am

(avoid a road with Meadow in its name)
17. No 12 tons right now
(avoid the load-limited bridge)

- Each car will receive a number on the windshield
- You choose your slogan or team name and we'll put it on your back window

- There will be four legs and each will have a checkpoint where your mileage will be checked (and you will get your clue sheet for the next leg)
- Your goal is to complete the rally with the least accumulated mileage
- Each leg will also have some bonus questions - things you should spot
