About this event
Join us in Mansfield at Fat Daddy’s Sports & Spirits Cafe for the first rally of our new season. After about an 80 mile drive on some of the scenic hard surfaced country roads in Tarrant and Johnson Counties you and your sweetheart (or rally partner) will end up back at Fat Daddy’s. As usual, Jerry White will be the rallymaster for this event.
This rally is about solving puzzles (many related to sweethearts) using signs and objects found along the rally route. One penalty point will be assessed for each correct solution you don’t mark as being found and one penalty point will be assessed for each incorrect solution you mark as being a found correct one. Low score wins. Puzzles can have from zero (0) to four (4) correct solutions. There will never be more than one puzzle active at a time.
- Awards: First Timers, Novices (every person in the vehicle has won 2 or less rally trophies), and General Class.
- Optional Master Class for those who want bragging rights but don't want any more trophies.
- Start and finish at: Fat Daddy’s Sports & Spirits Cafe, 781 W Debbie Lane, Mansfield, TX 76063. (Fat Daddy’s is a great place for both lunch and dinner.)
