Practice Rally Run
A practice rally, set up by
the National Counsel, was run
by all participants Friday so
that they may become
acquainted with the area and
the types of directions used in
the actual rally. "We really
blew that," commented Mr.
Cordell.
The rally itself began at 8
a.m. Saturday at the
Lincoln-Mercury Division
Headquarters. Each team was
given a 1973 Capri "so that
there would be no advantages."
The course ran 180 miles.
The contestants drove for
approximately three hours in
the morning, with a break for
lunch, and finished the course
in three hours in the afternoon,
said Mr. Cordell.
In a road rally, instructions
are given for following the
general course. Certain
priorities are established before
any instructions are given. For
example, said Mr. Cordell,
contestants must turn right at
every T in the road.
