Two or more people, in ordinary cars, on regular roads, within the legal speed limit, make up a rally team. For night rallies it is a good idea to have a map light, flashlight or other interior lighting to be able to read instructions.
Cars start at one minute intervals.
The first section of the rally is called the odometer check leg and allows you to compare your mileage to the rallymasters'. If you have a trip odometer in your car you can zero it at the start. You will have a specified amount of time to reach the end of the odometer check leg which is called the Official Mileage Point. Wait there until the given time has elapsed, then leave, following the directions given and travel at the specified speed. Timing controls, or checkpoints, will be found at various locations along the route.
