We start at Montgomery College's parking lot on Campus Drive, off Route 355 in Rockville. Proceed on Campus Drive towards Mannakee Street and turn right. Continue straight (through circle) until it ends at Route 28. Turn left on Rte. 28 and then right on Great Falls Road (Route 189). Stay straight on Falls Road until it ends at MaCarthur Blvd, turn left. Road splits-keep to right on Clara Barton Parkway. Turn right onto Chain Bridge and cross Potomac River. Just after the bridge, turn right onto Chain Bridge Road (Route 123). Bear right onto Georgetown Pike (Route 193). Stay on Georgetown Pike to Drainsville, which ends at Route 7. Turn right on Rte. 7 and head west to Leesburg. Go past Leesburg (bypass route if applicable) and make a right on Charles Town Pike. Stay on Route 9 until it meets at Route 340 north bypass. There will be some turns to stay on Rte. 9. Stay on Rte. 340 and cross over bridge into Maryland. Harpers Ferry will be on the left before the bridge. Continue on Rte. 340 until it meets Route 15. Go south on Rte.15 to Route 28 east at Point of Rocks. Stay on Rte. 28 (there will be some turns) until South River Road (Route 112), turn right. Turn left on Route 190 southeast to Potomac, turn left onto Falls Road. Take Falls Road up to Rte. 28 and turn left on Rte. 28 shortly after passing Route 270. Turn right on Mannakee Street-go around circle and continue straight on Mannakee St. Turn left onto West Campus Drive and back to the parking lot at Montgomery College.

There's always a good chance of rain during this event, so be ready.

There won't be much of this kind of driving on the Pony Drive. Most of our time will be spent on the super slab.

Let's hope you have a five-speed like this 428 powered Mach 1 or a 2.80:1 rear gear for the drive.
