Safety Guidelines and Rules

We recognize that a girl just wants to have fun*. However, lawyers are expensive, and we don’t enjoy barring people from future events. Because of this, we have highlighted some points below.

The Golden Rule is Common Sense!

You will be driving on public roads, so please act accordingly!

  1. Obey Speed Limits - Please don’t use this event to find your vehicle’s top speed. Police officers are rarely kind to speeders.

  2. Braking Zones - Keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle ahead of you. Watch your mirrors for other vehicles. If a faster vehicle comes up behind you, pull over at one of the many paved pull-offs. It is much safer to let a faster vehicle go around than try to outrun them. Do not pull off the road unless it is paved or gravel.

  3. Drive to Your Skill Level - Please remember these are public roads, not a track. We want you to have fun, but this isn’t the time to find your limits as a driver or to find the limits of your car. 

  4. Stay In Your Lane - Vehicles cutting the corners and taking chances to appear “Pro Driver” can cost you dearly. These are public roads not a closed racecourse. The point is to enjoy the road. If you see another vehicle coming at you in your lane, hug the white line. You can avoid problems if you stay alert and watch ahead. Do not go off the mountain to avoid a crash.

  5. Be Aware of Your Surroundings - Watch the road, your mirrors, and other vehicles. If you want to see the sites, pull over at one of the many paved pull-offs or stop at the overlooks and enjoy the views. Watch for wildlife. The area is full of deer, bear, turkeys, and other animals.

If you see someone driving in a manner you consider unsafe, please let either Avery or Tatiana know. If you are found to be driving in an unsafe manner, you may be given a warning, disallowed from participating in formal drives, or uninvited from future events. 

At the end of the day, we want everyone to have fun, but safety takes priority. Please follow our guidelines, and above all else, follow the Golden Rule!
