Start midnight Friday, Aug 15. Arrive Montreal ~noon Saturday, Aug 16 (or sooner if you've got fresh driving skills). Use your wiles or a whup-ass navigator to choose the best and fastest routes. Checkpoints ensure mostly backroads driving. Saturday night we throw a huge party with drunk-making beverages. There'll be plenty of places to crash (Montreal, despite being in Canada, is a real city and sports plenty of bunks near the party site).
The next morning the rally continues back to NYC via interstate. Prize ceremony at Water Taxi Beach. Grand prize = Euros in your pocket. More prizes for best team costumes and style, plus sundry other categories to be revealed.

Every red-blooded American boy thrilled to Cannonball Run's high-octane adventure: exotic cars, perilous stunt-driving, and super-charged racial and sexual stereotyping. Delivering everything but a one-eyed black Jew dressed as a priest: Rental Car Rally.

Cannonball Run references aside, this is a different type of race: Controlled checkpoints, a strict no-speeding rule, and lots of communal eating. It still somehow scratches that Burt Reynolds itch, though.
