The 2016 Hemmings Motor News Great Race presented by Hagerty is about to get underway. It will start in San Rafael, California on Saturday, June 18, and finish in Moline, Illinois nine days later on Sunday, June 26. And during those 2,400 miles, the Great Race will stop for promotions in 18 cities, many on the historic Lincoln Highway. The event will travel through the states of California, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois. To find out the dates, times and locations of each stop, click the link below.
Do you have the map of the route and plan stops in Sacramento? I can’t find any details but I think they stop at the Cal Auto Museum. And when departing and so on the route to Gardnerville Ca?
Thanks much Steve Elliott Mother Lode Model T club
Steve, They will not be able to answer route questions. The course is kept secret, so that the rally teams cannot practice. We do not receive our course instructions (route) until 30 minutes before our scheduled starting time.
We look forward to seeing all of these wonderful cities this year.

We would like to see the event at Heritage Park in Gardnerville. Is there a schedule for the lunch event? Will the cars be staying there for awhile or just stopping to check in and moving on? Any info you can provide about this stop will be appreciated. Thanks in advance…
we planned to see the cars in Austin Nevada but plans fell through, but hope for at least a drive by experience in or east of Salt Lake City. what is the road route through SLC? Are you going up I- 80 out of SLC?
