Moonlight Monte Road Rally

Saturday, February 22, 1997

The Moonlight Monte will be a straight forward, 160 mile, TSD event conducted on unpaved rural roads of northern Oakland and Macomb counties and southern Lapeer county. Speeds will be reasonable but challenging depending upon weather conditions. We will provide the choice of two speed sets. This will allow those with cars that are somewhat less suitable to snow covered or icy roads to still be competitive. The use of winter tires is recommended. Studded tires are not permitted in Michigan and therefore will not be allowed on the Monte. Timing will utilize the latest Timewise rally clocks. The event will start at the Burger King at M-53 (VanDyke) and I-69 in Imlay City. The finish will be in Imlay City at a restaurant/bar (Not at the Burger King). Car numbers will be assigned at the end of registration.

The event will follow the 1997 Road Rally Regulations for Tour rallies. Mileage will be given frequently to help prevent anyone from leaving the course. One break, with a time of day restart, will be used to keep the rally together and on time. The ability to stay consistently on time, be alert at all times, and the ability to develop and maintain an accurate correction factor, will challenge both the driver and navigator. Depending on weather conditions, the driving could be a bit challenging.
