[edit] The Scally rally
Scally is a north west word for an uncontrollable adolescent. Lower middle class notions about scallies would concern them in car crime; or possessing a motor vehicle of little value.
[edit] Annual Event
The Scally rally is run every year in the United Kingdom in September. 100 teams compete in "Scally" not "Rally" cars that must cost £100 or less.
The challenge is to complete the 4 day event across Europe whilst winning points along the way through numerous driving challenges. The route takes in some of the most challenging roads Europe has to offer to test these cars and the madcap drivers and mechanics. Prizes are awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place along with "Spirit of the Scally" and "Best in Show"
