Please register during the half hour after the time indicated above. There is a
mandatory drivers meeting about 15 minutes before the first car starts. Car 1
generally starts the rally 1 hour and 1 minute after the time indicated. |
Registration fee TBD (was $15 for all 2007 rallies) |
Cancellations
Be sure to check the hotline at 217 398-6452 before each event. We sometimes have to cancel an event if we can't find a rallymaster!
Registration Info
We recommend that you arrive no later than a half-hour after registration opens. This will give you time to register and to certify that your car's operational items such as lights, turn signals, brakes, horn, tires, mirrors, seat belts, windshield wipers and windshield washer are in proper working order. It will also give you time to read the rally's general rules and to talk to other rally participants. This last is especially important if you've never run a rally before.
Don't Have a Driver or Navigator?
If you don't have a partner to drive or navigate for you for any of these events just come by yourself. At almost every rally there are folks who come alone then team up with someone else to run the event. If you are lucky you'll have the chance to team up with someone who has some rally experience. Sometimes that increases your chances of winning a trophy. If you're only slightly less lucky you'll get to run with someone who has no rally experience and have twice the fun as you discover what rallying is all about. At the very worst there will be no one to partner with and you will get the chance to work some of the checkpoints and see how everyone is doing as the event progresses.

Entry Fee Information
The entry fee for most events is $15.00 per team. For the occasional event that has tee-shirts for trophies the entry fee will be $20.00 per team.
