Today is the Harvest Moon Rally. This is a monte style rally that starts in Valencia, CA and finishes in South Valencia, CA about 10 miles from the start. However it will take about 8 hours to get to the finish.

My friends Kevin and Sean Ayers wrote this rally, and we have left our fearless leader Joe Akerman out of the loop so he could actually  run the rally. So I kinda stepped in to help Kevin and Sean write, check out and organize the rally.

This will be a great rally, some really great roads to test your navigators ability to hold the cookies down with spirited driving, and a few places with straight lines and no other cars to help blow the carbon out. Mind you though, none of this is necessary to compete or complete the rally. If you follow the preferred route all times will keep you well within the speed limits.

One unique part of this rally is there are over 5 different railroad crossings. You could find yourself stuck behind a train! A long train going very slow. So for the first time, we have introduced an available time delay some what like TSD rallies.

It should be a good time and I look forward to seeing the faces of happy drivers and navigators at the end of the rally.

Start is today October 23rd at the Marie Calender’s restaurant off of I5 near the entrance to Six Flags Magic mountain. Registration opens at 10, A school for beginners at 11 and 1st car out 1:01. If you have never run one before, there is no cost to enter. Just bring yourself, a buddy for a navigator, an accurate watch and a willingness to have fun driving like you have never experienced before. I enjoy it because I forget the rest of the world for a few hours and just concentrate on the rally.

So come join us!
