THE 2024 RULES AND POINTS

---

Rules are simple:

Drive the published route (either direction) ANYTIME during the period of August 3 - 18, 2024.  It’s a self-directed loop route so you can start anywhere on the route.  Points are scored as described below.  Top 3 individual winners and Top 3 team winners will be awarded prizes.  Teams must have at least 3 points-scoring participants and can be any group (friends, business, car club, etc).   Individuals participating on teams are eligible for prizes in both individual and team categories.  Individuals scoring at least 1550 points (if not already a Top 3 winner) will be eligible for a random drawing for prizes.

You must be 18 or older to register for the event.

Drive points: 

There are 10 points-of-interest (POI's) along the drive.  POI’s will be recorded by the entrants via digital photos submitted from their registered e-mail accounts. Simply take a picture of the POI with your phone and e-mail it to the provided e-mail address.

• 30 points per official picture of points of interest along route (include POI + car) (30 x 10 = 300 points)
• 300 additional points for driving the entire route (ie., all POI’s recorded).  For example, if you start the route at POI #7 and go clockwise, you’ll end at POI #6.
• All pictures must be submitted by 11:59PM August 18, 2024

Dining points:

Dining points will be recorded by the entrants via digital photos submitted from their registered e-mail accounts. Simply take a picture of your receipt with your phone and e-mail it to the address provided when you registered.   

• Food may be purchased at any restaurant along the route.
• 1 Point per dollar spent at that restaurant – no limit to amount spent.   Total bill including tips are counted from dated receipts. Pro tip: fill your car with hungry people to boost your points!
• Photo of dated receipt required, with your registration number clearly written ON THE RECEIPT.

Donation points:

• Now through August 18, 2024, a special Tire Squeal Gleaners Donation Page will be open.  It can be accessed through our Donations page on this web site.  You can directly donate through that page and every dollar donated scores you an additional point ($1.00 = 1 point) subject to the following rules.  
• There is no upper limit to the donation amount.
• Regardless of the donation amount, the maximum individual donation points awarded is 500.
• If an individual donates more than $500 and is also part of a team, the team will receive the individual's full donation points with no upper limit.
• Example:  Arnold Ziffle is registered and is part of Hooterville Car Club.  Arnold donates $750 to Gleaners.   When we total Arnold's individual points he will only receive the maximum of 500 donation points.   However, when we total all the Hooterville team points, Arnold's contribution to the team will include his full 750 donation points.
