A road rally is contested by a two person team in ordinary cars on regular roads, within the legal speed limit. For night rallies it is a good idea to have a map light, flashlight or other interior lighting so you can read instructions.
Cars start a rally at one minute intervals.
The first section of the rally is called the odometer calibration run and allows you to compare your mileage with the rallymaster's. If you have a trip odometer in your car you can zero it at the start and use this. Otherwise, write down the odometer mileage. You will have a specified amount of time to reach the end of the odometer calibration run. You wait at that location until the given time has elapsed, then leave, following the directions given and travel at the specified average speed.
