Entry: $425 per entered vehicle, regardless of number of team members. Stuff as many people as you can legally fit in your ride. The entry fee includes the Route Book (“Weird-Ass Guided Tour To Nowhere”), scoring along the way, commemorative crap, and anything else we come up with by then.

Late Fees and Onsite Registration: A $75 fee will be assessed if you don’t pay prior to the end of online registration five days before the event start. Late entrants may pay the $500 total onsite WITH CASH ONLY.

1.1: DON’T BE A DOUCHE That’s what expensive rallies are for.
1.2: OBEY THE LAW This isn’t a race. Obey all traffic and other laws.
1.3: REFUNDS Full refunds 60 or more days before the event. After that you get merciless heckling only–no refunds or fee transfers.
1.4: ORGANIZER AUTHORITY Lemons has complete authority to give or remove points; to change routes or schedules; and/or to kick your ass out.
1.4.a: ACCIDENTS AND/OR MOVING VIOLATIONS …are two great ways to get your ass kicked out.
1.5: ROUTES The Route Book lists daily starts, finishes, and checkpoints. It’s your job to pick which roads get you there.
1.6: YOU’RE LIABLE What you’re doing here can be dangerous. You’ve made the decision to do it anyway, and you understand and accept that you’re responsible for what happens as a result.

3.1: DO WHAT WE SAY, DAMMIT Lemons can demand any change to routes, schedules, vehicles, teams, etc. This is not a debate—either do it, or go home.
3.2: ROADWORTHINESS Teams are responsible for ensuring their vehicles are roadworthy and free from dangerous defects at all times. Lemons does not perform an inspection of rally vehicles and makes no assurances or guarantees regarding any vehicle’s condition, safety, or fitness.
3.3: EMERGENCY SUPPLIES Every vehicle should carry a decent first-aid kit, 48 hours’ supply of food and water for everyone in it, and paper maps.
3.4: OTHER SUPPLIES Bring spare parts. Bring a good toolbox. Bring a spare phone battery. Bring whatever nav aids you like. Bring warm clothes. Bring flares. Bring a cellphone or tablet for posting your checkpoints. Bring a good attitude. Bring extra coffee. A lot of teams bring CB radios. Bring your arse to the Lemons Rally tab in the Forum for more recommendations.

4.1: STARTING POINTS Extra starting points are (capriciously) awarded by (wholly unqualified) judges for vehicle awfulness, team hopelessness, general hilarity, etc.
4.2: CHECKPOINT POINTS Each day has scenic, historic, and/or weird-ass checkpoints with various point values. You probably can’t hit ‘em all, so just pick the routes that appeal. To be scored, take a pic of your car (or mascot) in front of the checkpoint and post it online as described in the Route Book.
4.2.a: CHECKPOINT POINTS FOR THE DIGITALLY ILLITERATE Look– we aren’t sending guys to man checkpoints/get eaten by bears just so you don’t have to learn Facebook. Find a 12-year-old kid with an iPhone or just read our Checkpoint Posting for Grampas guide.
4.3: AWESOMENESS POINTS Additional points at the organizers’ discretion for excellent photos/videos/web posts you share with us; for super-mensch behavior; for heroic repairs; for adventures above and beyond; and for anything else we deem atypically awesome.
4.4: RENTAL CAR CLASS (Effective 01/01/2022) A Rental Car Class will offer a separate trophy for rental cars, hired cars, car shares, whatever else you want to call them. See this addendum for full details.
