This is not a road race. It is a casual road rally. It is not a Speed/Time/Distance event. While they encourage you to participate with your classic, they won't turn away more modern vehicles. The exact route is only available to event participants, both printed and app-based GPS versions will be available.
Each day's drive will take place along a predetermined route, actual driving time will range from 3-4 hours each day depending on the leg. Each day has additional check-ins or activities that will take up additional time but are not factored as driving time as they typically require you to go stretch your legs a bit.
The list of 2023 hotels is scheduled to be announced on 1/15/2023. Their target room rates are $120-150 per night. You are responsible for making your reservations!
