Poker Run – Spring Rallye March 21

Spring is fast approaching, and as promised we have planned a Road Rallye for early spring. Infact so early, that it is scheduled for the first day of spring.

40 years ago Paddy Hopkirk won the Monte Carlo Road rallye in a mini. Maybe you can win the 1st ever Chicago MINI Poker Run!

Who: Open to all CMMC members, their navigators, and people wishing to join the club.

What: This is a Poker Run road Rallye.

Where: The start is at Knauz MINI, Lake Bluff.

When: Sunday, March 21st. Check in is at 10 am. Drivers/navigators meeting at 10:20am.

Why: It’s spring! Let’s put the windows down and drive!

Remember, as this Rallye is on a Sunday, Knauz will be closed (no bathrooms at the rallye start).

What’s happening: We will be departing from Knauz at 1 minute intervals beginning at about 10:30 am. This is not a race. There is really no advantage to being first, or last, as your fate is all in the cards you draw at each of the 5 locations. Prizes (of the nifty sort) will be awarded at the final stop to the best poker hand. A huge thanks to Mini Mania for helping us out with this!

What to pack? Bring a map of the Chicago area. Bring someone who can read a map. A cell phone and or FRS radio may come in handy if you need assistance (real men don’t need directions). Cash, or a credit card. As with most of our drives this one has food on the itinerary.

Where are we going? Can’t tell you, it’s a secret. Actually at each of the first 4 stops, you will get a destination sheet along with your poker hand card.

Are we there yet? We think we will be done between 3 and 4pm.

Sign me up, I’m lucky at cards… To get on the Rallye list, RSVP to ron@chicagominiclub.com
