GUIZE! IT’S TOMORROW! OPPO RALLY IS TOMORROW! After so much waiting! After so much spamming of Oppo! It’s finally (almost) here!
News isn’t all good though, we’ve had one more withdrawal, and it was our one bike entry. Mediocre! We’ve also had a few vehicle transformations, as the Pontiac Firehawk is now a Dodge Ram and one of the BMWs has become a VW Rabbit. #WhenEvolutionGetsDrunk
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:

Wow, cool deal. I guess I should really pay more attention to oppo in the future! My Outback XT is currently in the shop with a dead transmission, and I have to be in Pennsylvania this weekend to play at a bluegrass festival, but if there is ever an oppo rally pt. II I’d love to join.

I wasn’t able to get a coworker to take my shift tomorrow so I will not be able to make it. Really wanted to go but work takes priority.

Death Valley. I ran out of Connecticut photos that didn’t give away any of the checkpoints so this week I used LeMons Rally photos instead
