Location Burke Lake Park, Fairfax, VA, USA
Date July 23, 2016

In conjunction with the Washington DC lighthouse for the blind and other groups, the MGcar Club Washington DC Center sponsors this annual event. Each MG car and driver is paired with a sight impaired navigator. The navigator is supplied with directions in braille for a driving route of approximately 45 miles. Following directions provided by the navigator, each car attempts to match a route time that has been predetermined by a pace car that followed the same route. The car that mos closely matches the route time for the pacecar wins. There are first, second and third place trophies a number of categories; including youth and senior, large print and braille.

Award participation is limited by the number of navigators available, however many cars take family and friends of sight impaired participants out for a run around the rally route. After the rally, there is food, and an awards ceremony. Preregistration is required. Cost for this years registration have not yet been determined.
