Are you superstitious? Do you suffer from "Triskaidekaphobia"**? Or are you a brave soul willing to venture into the dark and accept the challenge brought to you by the witches and warlocks?

It is time one again for our annual night rally event that combines a standard time-speed-distance rally with a number of stops. The competitors are required to complete certain Halloween related tasks often of a rather humorous nature and then finish with a large outdoor party. This is a reanimation of a Halloween tradition that was started in the late 60's by the Volkswagen Club of Iowa. DMVR began our own Halloween tradition by recreating this event with the assistance of two the original "witches", Carol Carter and Terry Montgomery.

Teams consisting of a Driver and Navigator will follow a set of written instructions on an interesting drive in and around Des Moines area (all paved roads). Scoring is based on maintaining a precise average speed, correctly answering a series of questions asked along the way, and performing a number of tasks assigned by the witches. THIS IS NOT A RACE! Any street legal car, van or truck is suitable for this event; you don't have to own a sports car. The rally will conclude with a party including food, beverage and the event results.
