Welcome and thank you for attending the 1st Annual Midwest Summer Smart Car Rally! I hope you enjoy
this fun filled weekend in the Wisconsin Dells. This reference guide will provide you with the who, what, when,
and where information during the weekend activities. While having such a large group and car rally, the main
goal is to have fun, but to also be safe. Remember, when driving in a group with other Smarts, we all must
follow the local and state laws of Wisconsin. Once again, this Smart guide is to help answer your questions
about the rally, but if something does come up and you happen to get lost or need something else you can call
us for assistance. See you at the Dells!
