just a quick question... why do we have to pay ??? can i not just drive on these roads anyway?... no charities mentioned or lunch thrown in or am i missing something?....

[1300dolly]

yes you are missing something but thats another story.
The reason we have to pay is for the organisation and the route maps, each driver is given a rally plaque to fit to the front of their car so the mashalls know which cars to direct and you are also given a detailed route map so you know which turnings to take when a marshall isnt present, the entry fee pays for the printing of the plaque and maps as well as the trophys, some of which are not sponsored.
Of course you can turn up and just follow the car in front but you will have to wiat outside of the start area and will not get into the mid route rest stop or into the show field and the end.

If you do not want to pay to join the run than you have the choice of either driving around on you own all day or joining one of teh many other runs that are organised by various clubs and car groups some of which are free to enter.

If you havnt already paid and received your entry number one of the above options may suit you better and prebooking ir required so the organisers have to inform the police of the route and number of attendees.

[tinganting]

once again we thank you sir.....
