Are we able to participate in the Concours d'Lemons on the 19th of Aug? (Provided our Jalop makes the trip.)
The Rally finishes at the Concours d'Lemons. I believe there was a "Rally" section of the Concours.
When do you get the Rally schedule?
If you mean the list of overnight stops, you should get an email from Rally Boss Steve at some point after signing up. You can also email Steve directly (Steve@24hoursoflemons.com) for more on that.
If you mean the Rally Book with all the checkpoints, you get that at registration.
Do you typically book hotels in advance or on the fly?
The message from Steve will include the list of host hotels that you can book in advance. You don't have to stay at them, but you'll find other rally participants at them in all likelihood.
