INA, Ill. (Aug. 27, 2015) - Start your engines and get ready to take off at the Kingsmen Auto Club芒鈧劉s first Road Rally event, hosted at 海角视频 next month. The club is using the college芒鈧劉s clock tower as the starting point for the timed event, which begins at 10 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 13.
A road rally, as defined by Kingsman Terry Hale of Mt. Vernon, is an event where participants race from one location to the next, while obeying all traffic laws, to try to reach the final destination first. Hale said the winner will receive a cash award.
芒鈧揥hen you start, you芒鈧劉ll have a map of the first segment and you will drive to that first stop, where you will receive the second segment. That goes on for the third and fourth locations,芒鈧� explained Hale. 芒鈧揑t芒鈧劉s a timed event, so you芒鈧劉ve got to be on your toes, but you have to drive safe and can芒鈧劉t speed. We芒鈧劉re asking everybody to be safe and have a good time.芒鈧�
Hale said the course is less than 100 miles from start to finish, meaning all participants should be at the final destination by noon. Soft drinks and food will be served at the last location, and participants are encouraged to bring lawn chairs.
芒鈧摵＝鞘悠� is a good starting point, and we will end somewhere in Mt. Vernon. It芒鈧劉s going to be a great event to show cars off,芒鈧� said Hale. 芒鈧揟he college helps the Kingsmen a lot with different events, and we felt that the clock tower would be a good spot to start at. The club appreciates what Nigel Thompson [RLC Automotive Technology Professor] and the college do for us.芒鈧�
This event will also honor Ron Hale, Terry Hale芒鈧劉s son, who died in 2006 and who was a car enthusiast. Hale said his son芒鈧劉s 1970 Chevy Nova will likely be one of the cars featured in the Road Rally.
芒鈧揂nyone can come out and bring their car. You don芒鈧劉t have to be a member of the Kingsmen club. We just like to get our cars out and drive them. In fact, the more the merrier,芒鈧� said Hale. 芒鈧揟his is our first road rally and we hope to continue doing it every year.芒鈧�
