> I'm getting dizzy by how fast the time is flying towards the opening driving event of the year - the Missouri Endurance Rally and Missouri Mini-Endurance Trial.  I know that one team is feverishly working on getting their B back together after a total repaint and tear down.  I know several other teams are doing some last minute maintenance.  I know of still more teams that are already packed and ready to go!  Hopefully you're ready to go whether you have more work to do or not because you do NOT want to miss this great event!

The Missouri Endurance Rally is a navigational challege where teams are given a set of locations that they must go to over the course of 24-hours (12-hours for the mini rally). Each team must determine the best overall route then find the shortest distance between each point. The team making it back to the start while cover the least number of miles - wins. 

It's a great test of your map reading and directional abilities. It's a great test on the reliability of your car (your car is a lot more reliable than you give it credit for) and your own endurance. 

It really is a great time and these rallies can become addicting. This is the 12th year for this event (or maybe it's the 13th, it's hard to say because when you're hopped up on endurance rallies you tend to lose track of time otherwise you might become sane again). 

The Standard Class is all unmodernized British vehicles made before 1981. The Modern Class is all British vehicles made from 1981-1995 plus any older British vehicles that have been converted to a modern engine or fitted with an electronic fuel injection/engine management system.

Non-British cars are accepted on a case-by-case basis.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
