The Michigan Gumball Rally will be checking in at Houghton Lake Aug. 6.

Beginning in West Bloomfield and traveling to the Upper Peninsula and back, the objective of the 100-car rally is to stay within the convoy by not breaking down and not getting pulled over. Driver/passenger teams will participate in checkpoint challenges along the way to acquire points which could help them win a $15,000 purse.

Houghton Lake’s Super Car Wash at 7167 West Houghton Lake Drive (M- 55) will serve as a checkpoint on Aug. 6 from 2 to 4 p.m., according to car wash owner Steve Nielsen.
