Description:

Join us as we try to find the mischievous Paddy O'Flannel on The 5th Annual Dave Teter Memorial Shamrock Showdown! Our tricky leprechaun found some old rally notes and has left an approx. 68 mile trail through farms and forests for us to attempt to find him. It should take about 2 to 2-1/2 hours to complete. All roads should be paved although some may be bumpy and narrow in places. (Due to the time of year and potential for bad weather and/or not repaired potholes we recommend not bringing your nicest car)

In creating the rally this year - and keeping with past years' themes of bringing back past routes - we decided to modify 2021's Shamrock Showdown II rally. New questions to answer and some other changes too :D

Our tricky little leprechaun lost his glasses this year and misread the calendar! He thought it was still March but wound up in April!

Why is it called The Dave Teter Memorial?

The Annual Shamrock Showdown is in memoriam of our dear friend and past rally master, Dave Teter. Dave is famously known throughout the Road Rally community for putting on the March Lamb for 17 years in a row, before handing off the reins to the local SCCA clubs. We thought nothing was more fitting then to make our annual March [well, April this year] rally in memory of him!
