BCR 07.10.2021
SOLD OUT. Thanks.
July’s rally starts in an undisclosed Sonoma location and winds up in Healdsburg via Calistoga, an 80 mile run taking in what’s best about North Bay motoring: scenery, twisties, scenery, twisties, on repeat.
Before the rally, we’ll meet at 8am at our start point (maskless, for the first time ever) for a little cars & coffee action. At 9am, we’ll take off in 3 groups (HARE, TORTOISE, and SNAIL groups) 5 minutes apart. We’ll be done around noon, and you can grab lunch at one of Healdsburg’s great restaurants, do some wine/beer-tasting, or just head on home for a nap- you earned it, champ.
Old and/or interesting cars (& people) of all makes and models are welcome. Rally decals can be bought in advance from the BCR shop.
Additional info:
This event is free. It is also “mostly vintage” and “brand-agnostic.” It’s not Euro-only, Vintage-only, or Anything-only. That said, please keep modern car entries to “enthusiast” models and other “interesting“ vehicles- sports cars, low production runs, unusual/exotic marques, things like that. Post-1999 SUV’s/trucks are not eligible.
Facial coverings are required when outside of your car. Please give the surrounding shops your business and tip well- let’s not be freeloaders.
Don’t make us say “no burnouts.” You’re better than that, right?
The drive begins staging at 9am and will take 2.75 hrs tops. Feel free to drive at a speed comfortable to you, and always yield to quicker vehicles. We call this a “spirited drive” - responsible people enjoying their cars without endangering the lives and sanity of others.
A link to download turn-by-turn directions will be sent a week before 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 on this route are pretty good; usual bumps and such, nothing unusual.
Gas up prior to arriving at the starting location; it’s a long drive with limited gas stations.
Cell reception unavailable in some areas.
Be courteous to business owners, employees, homeowners, ranchers, cyclists, pedestrians, pets and livestock you encounter- let’s keep BCR welcome in the area.
