On Saturday, Sept. 12, 2009 at the NC State Fairgrounds in Raleigh, NC in front of the Jim Martin building is the Shifting Gears Road Rally event. Registration starts at 8:30 am, and the games begin at 9:00 am till 1:00 pm.

The Road Rally is a novelty rally designed for auto enthusiasts or anyone who
wants to have fun! The road rally is a family-friendly event with activities
such as a kids zone, safety fair and auto show commencing at the completion
of the road rally.  The concept of this event is similar to the popular TV
show "The Amazing Race"  with a few extras added in.

Unlike the serious professional road rallies that take place involving time
and intense precision in every aspect, MADD's Shifting Gears road rally is a
fun, innovative and novelty rally. It involves clues and puzzle-solving as a
way to identify landmarks to aid in navigating the course route.

How a Road Rally Works:

Two or more people, in ordinary cars, on regular roads, within the legal
speed limit, make up a Road Rally crew. MADD will host a "game rally" event.
The challenge is to drive on time and answer trivia-type questions and follow
clues to secret location once your arrive you participate in game-like
activities/ challenges. The rally is about 30 miles long and will take 2-4
hours to complete.

All of the events are essentially non-timed location hunts, but it is the way
in which the game is organized and the theme used that makes it enjoyable for
you.

Prizes will be awarded to the top three finishers and other fun prizes will
be given out to those that get "lost" along the way! Approximately 50
vehicles (crews) will be participating.

A crew is comprised of a driver and a navigator who are encouraged to raise
pledges to support MADD. Crews will drive the route, participate in
checkpoint activities and finish the road rally at a community event.

So start a team with your friends and family or call that Uncle that owns
that 57 Chevy to participate in our car show.
