BCR 04.08.2023
For April, we’re headed east to Solano County, where, after a little pre-rally socializing, we’ll blast off on a 90 mile, 3 county sprint through vineyards and over mountain passes, eventually coming to rest in BCR’s hometown of Calistoga, CA.
On Saturday, April 8th, 2023 at 8am, we’ll meet at an undisclosed start point in Fairfield, California (40 minutes from SF and Oakland, 70 minutes from San Jose) for the pre-rally social hour. At 9am, we’ll take off in 3 groups (HARE, TORTOISE, and SNAIL groups) 5 minutes apart; we’ll be done around 11:45am in the beautiful town of Calistoga.
Old and/or interesting cars (& people) of most makes and models are welcome; see exceptions listed below. 80% of the rally will be vintage vehicles, and the remaining 20% will be modern vehicles.
Order the rally decal.

Additional info:
Drivers must be at least 18 years old. Registration is valid for a single driver (named in the registration application).
Co-drivers (18 or over) who deliver a co-driver agreement , navigators, and passengers welcome.
The drive begins staging at 9am and takes roughly 2.75 hrs. Drive at a speed comfortable to you, taking into consideration weather and road conditions, always yield to quicker vehicles, and never pass on a double yellow line.
A link to download turn-by-turn directions will be sent the week of the drive. Read them. Learn them. Know them. Live them. Don’t rely on the person in front of you to know where they’re going- they don’t.
Roads are generally pretty smooth; usual bumps and such, nothing major.
Gas up prior to arriving at the starting location; limited gas stations along the route.
Cell reception unavailable in some areas.
People live and work in these areas we drive through. Be courteous to business owners, employees, homeowners, ranchers, cyclists, pedestrians, pets and livestock you encounter- let’s keep BCR welcome in the area.
