We’re down to the final week leading up to the rally, and that means it’s time to reveal the details to the rest of Oppo, because even if you’re not attending you can still follow along, and even participate in part of it.

This post was written a week or so ago because I’m currently recovering from a rally in Ohio.

So here’s the game: treasure hunt. For those of you who have done a LeMons rally you’ll know how this works because Oppo Rally blatantly rips it off is a loving tribute. I have compiled a list of landmarks across the state of Connecticut, some automotive, some historical, some just plain weird. Competing teams will bring a team mascot and take a photo of said mascot at said landmarks. The checkpoint photos must be uploaded into the comments section of the official event post here on Oppo to score points. The event post will go up at 9 AM on Saturday and be bumped throughout the day to keep it on the front page until the event is over. This is where the rest of you come in.

You, the Oppo collective, will be giving bonus points to up to three competitors, as well as giving an award to one. The most starred checkpoint photo, most starred non-checkpoint photo, and most starred shared video will each net the competitor 50 points. You will also vote on who you felt consistently posted the best updates/photos throughout the day. Winner of this gets a fabulous prize.

For anyone in the NYC or Worcester, MA areas who can’t participate in the rally but are interested in hanging for a bit and meeting some Oppos, you can meet us at the rally start point or the the rally check-in point on the 27th, or the awards ceremony on the morning of the 28th. Here are the locations:

Rally Start: (Check-in and vehicle inspection begins at 7, rally starts at 9)
Port Chester Marina Lot
51 Abendroth Ave
Port Chester, NY.

Rally Finish: (7 PM-11 PM)
The Sole Proprietor
118 Highland St
Worcester, MA 01609

Awards: 9 AM
Bancroft Tower
25 Bancroft Tower Rd (approx)
Worcester, MA 01609

If you’ve sent in a registration email you should have received a welcome/preliminary info letter. If you haven’t received it yet please let me know in the comments. It’s possible either my filter has eaten your email or yours has eaten the welcome letter. Either way that’s information you need.

If you haven’t registered for Oppo Rally (why not, yo?) it’s not too late! Sticker orders are already in, but registration is open until the day before. Here’s how to do so.

Sure, just after I leave CT you have something like this. =P

And what good is a park if you can’t do these things?

Oppo gave me our mascot last fall!

It’s a hybrid!

BTW - I’m warned that the Sole Proprietor has no parking space for any kind of gathering. My brother lives just a couple miles from there.

I think I’ll have to skip out on the end of day check-in

Yeah, the Sole’s lot is on the small side, I discussed it with them. They think they’ll fit at least most of us since most will arrive after the dinner rush. And WPI is done with classes so the street parking shouldn’t be awful

okay that’s good to hear. Did I miss an email about these posts/reveals? I didn’t know you were posting any of these updates. Just happened to check Oppo at the right time and saw this at the top.

Oh no, don’t skip out!

Yup, can confirm that the Sole’s lot is microscopic (I used to work down the street). But there’s plenty of street parking in the area.

There was no email mentioning these countdown posts, but you should have received emails that contained pretty much all the same information

Reminds me of when I went to New York Central Park a few years back and it was an endless sea of “keep off the grass” signs.

Well, since issues with the co-driver got in the way, I guess I’ll see you guys in Worcester!

Yeah, you’re good, thanks. I didn’t fully grasp that the Sole Proprietor was a restaurant / hangout for some reason (me skimming the email is the most likely reason).

I made plans to crash with a friend in the complete opposite direction to Worcester. If I stay for the hangout I won’t be getting to my overnight stop until 11 or 12 at night.

Also I’m no fun to hang out with anyways.
