Audrain's Private Clubhouse

How the Day Started

All 19 cars gathered at Audrain's private clubhouse in Newport to kick things off. Drivers grabbed breakfast from Mas Donuts, courtesy of Edge Realty, and put together their driver bags — an Audrain tote, fruit from Quality Fruitland, soap from Round Hill Ranch, water bottles, and their printed route directions. There was time to check out the cars inside the clubhouse before a drivers' meeting kicked things off and the convoy made its way to the Larz Anderson Auto Museum.

We Drove Together

The whole point of a rally is doing it together. All 19 cars left Audrain's clubhouse as one convoy and drove together the full 75 miles to the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline and back to the Audrain Automobile Museum.
