Abstract

The Great Race of 2025, a classic car rally from St. Paul, Minnesota, to Irmo, South Carolina, was both a historical journey and a personal learning experience. This paper reflects on the event’s challenges, community spirit, and cultural significance. By observing the teamwork of drivers, the perseverance required to travel more than 2,000 miles, and the excitement at each city stop, I realized how the race brings people together across generations. The experience taught me the importance of endurance, connection, and appreciation for tradition. Overall, the Great Race was more than just a competition it was a meaningful reminder that the journey can be just as valuable as the destination.
