The 26th Nutmeg Rally

GIMMICK RALLY

Event Chair: Jim Donick 845-635-2373

Rally begins in the parking lot of the Beekman Arms in Rhinebeck, New York, at 9:15 AM on Saturday, October 25th.

The famous Nutmeg Rally is, indeed, on again. We promise a tour across some breath-takingly beautiful highways and byways. All of them are paved.

• Any and all are invited and you can bring any car! The roads are not physically demanding on the cars.
• Membership in VSCCA not required.

Costs:

• Entry Per Car: $75
• Dinners (optional): $70 per person. Note that we may have limited seating available so please get entry in early.

To register please contact Jim Donick at jpd@sdutchessnews.com or 845-635-2373



Each car will receive a Monte Carlo style Rally Plate as well as dash plaques for the crew. Lavish (well maybe) prizes will be awarded.

The instructions are designed to keep the cars on course so that the crews can focus on finding the clues along the way. Expect sixty or so miles prior to lunch and similar after lunch.

• Rally begins in the parking lot of the Beekman Arms in Rhinebeck, New York, at 9:15 AM on Saturday, 25 October.
• Lunch will be in Amenia, NY and one can order what one desires.
• Dinner will be at the Beekman Arms in Rhinebeck and will be a sumptous buffet.  Prizes will be awarded at the dinner.

Looking forward to this one.

Jim Donick
