About this event
The Peachtree Section is bringing back a real Mercedes-Benz road rally. August 19th has been selected as a day to renew that curvy driving feeling in beautiful mountain country as well as renewing your navigation skills, your observation abilities and your mathematical facilities. While chasing the 6 gaps you will be enjoying your Mercedes-Benz in those curves and hills.
We will meet at the City Hall in Helen in time to have the first car depart at 10:00 a.m. The city hall is located on the left side of S. Main St. directly across from the Sure Stay Hotel (formerly Super 8). If you cross the Chattahoochee, you have gone too far.
During the drive, you will be scored by a unique system designed by Joe Martin, new board Director that also belongs to the Carolinas Section. You will finish the tour in the parking lot of Unicoi State Park. We have a lunch room reserved there and the sum of $20.00 will cover the lunch buffet with a small amount left over for the rally masters slush fund.
For those drivers and navigators that live afar, we have reserved 12 rooms at the Unicoi State Park Lodge (that is all they would commit to for us) for one or two nights for only $114.00 per night. You will have the choice of one or two nights. Downtown in Helen the rooms are approaching $200.00 a night with a two-night minimum. Unicoi will only hold these rooms until July 18th. The price will remain the same after July 18th, but you will be taking a chance on getting a room. To reserve a room with the Uncoi State Park Lodge, call 1-800-573-9659 and ask for the Mercedes-Benz Club Peachtree (group code 07570) for the group rate. You need to book your reservation with the hotel and the rally early!.
