The Rally Team
Once you've decided to run a road rally, you'll need a partner and a vehicle. Who will drive? Who
will navigate? Should your spouse be your partner? Do you tend to get car sick when reading in the car? How do you react to stress? Can you quickly build consensus in a crisis? Can you maintain effective
communication amid chaos?

"Like I said, four point three miles!"
Communication is key to team success.

 As in any good marriage, a driver / navigator relationship improves with effort, respect, and courtesy
.
 Vehicle and equipment
Prepare your vehicle - Fill the car with gas and oil. Check the
tires. Clean the windows and headlights. The vehicle must be street legal and insured. Expect some sort of tech inspection to verify this.
Gather your equipment - The navigator will need a clipboard,
some writing utensils, a small roll of masking tape, a flashlight for reading inside the car at night, and a watch that tells time to the second. Don't set the watch yet, wait until you get there.
