.
.
The Fuelfed Midwest Mille 1000 is for those who want to head to warmer weather in early spring for incredible roads and adventure with a great group of people. Midwest Mille takes the bespoke approach that Fuelfed is known for in rallying and expands it to a new elevated format. The 2024 rally dates are April 18-21; see agenda. For European classic cars manufactured prior to 2000.
Following last year’s inaugural spring rally, we edited the experience which will now be focused on two days of driving the Ohio’s legendary Hocking Hills roads. Overnight accommodations will be at one location.

OVERVIEW
The rally blends driving warmer-weather curated routes with unique lodgings, good food, small town charm, and great people.
First, we escape the long cold Midwest winter for a warmer climate to explore the uncrowded and lush rolling roads only the western Appalachian range can provide.
Second, we’ve secured unique accommodations rarely available for a relaxing multi-night stay. Dining & cocktails —what is a Fuelfed rally with out interesting dining & cocktail experiences?
Finally, Fuelfed’s Midwest Mille provides an incredible driving experience for European vehicles manufactured prior to 2000. We encourage you to submit with two or three cars, when possible, to ensure a great mix of classics. Our group will be limited to a max of 15 cars or 30 people.
Midwest Mille will be different is several ways from our other rallies. A 3-night stay at one location, fewer cars, and fewer people. This will be a more social group experience.
What won’t be different is the quality of the experience, people, or routes that you have come to expect from Fuelfed. After planning vintage rallies since 1998, we’ve learned a thing or two on what makes for a unique and safe event.

DRIVING EXPECTATIONS
There is no pressure to go fast or drive beyond your comfort, and the rally is suitable for the novice. This not a guided tour either. Our group will break into a few run groups, but everyone will have the routes (via an app) and the end locations. Each stage is carefully routed and takes roughly one to two hours to complete with 15 minute rest / refuel / hydrate stops. Your goal is to have fun and be on time for lunch and dinner each day. You are also welcome to explore on your own at any point and meet up with us later.
There will NOT be chase vehicles. It is your responsibility to ensure that your car is road worthy and to handle your maintenance/towing issues during the rally so that the experience of fellow drivers is not adversely affected. You need to have driven your classic a minimum of 500 miles since your last repair before going.
