What is a Rally? What's an FRS Radio? What's a Le Mans
Start? Do I want to drive in the front/middle/back of the pack? What does
PB4UGO mean?
If you are planning to join PhillyMINI, recently joined
PhillyMINI, or if you've been a member for a while but feel like you're missing
out on some basics, this is the event for you! We'll take you on a short rally
where seasoned members and PhillyMINI Officers will be on hand to help you
learn what you need to know. From using the radio to safely navigating the
rally, this is your chance to ask any questions you have in an informal rally
and Q&A setting.
