Step 1
Find a local race to compete in, especially if this will be the first rally for you or your Woody. Starting with a race that is close to home will allow you to see how your car will perform and will allow you quick access to home should something go awry.
-
Step 2
Review the eligibility rules for the race you are interested in. The rules will list specific requirements and general rules for the rally. They will list what equipment is needed and recommended as well as what is prohibited such as a GPS.
-
Step 3
Gather your tools. You need to be prepared in case of a breakdown or even for just a little fine tuning before the big run. Bring your flashlight, simple tools and any parts you think you might need. Pay particular attention to anything odd you might feel or hear in the car. Prepare for mishaps.
-
Step 4
Bring your sidekick. You should have a partner for the rally. Bring someone who is familiar with the car, experienced in rallies and most importantly, one who has navigation skills.
-
Step 5
Prepare yourself for the navigational challenges. Pay close attention to your surroundings. You will be given speed limits, so you might not be able to zoom across a section to make up for lost time in a previous section. In some rallies, you are required to stop in at the each checkpoint, but in others you just have to cross each checkpoint.
-
Step 6
Have a great time no matter what the results are. Competing in a woody rally is all about having fun and showing off your car. Enjoy yourself.
