Keep an eye out for upcoming weekend events. We'll do some daytime Saturday or Sunday rallies eventually.

 

'Nuther Update:
Route is complete and tested. Will be slightly challenging mostly because it's dark and the area we're running in has a little bit of local traffic to deal with, but still EXTREMELY novice-friendly. No evil tricks in the route, just basic rally course-following.

Total run-time start-to-finish is 97 minutes (that info won't help you win or anything... it's broken up into 3 legs), so with a start time of 8pm, we'll be wrapped up by about 10pm.

Surf Shack is expecting us, and even provided some gift certificates for the winners!

One final test-run of the route to do sometime next week, then all will be ready. I'm kinda stoked! Would be more stoked with a few more entries.

 

Stickers came in the mail today!


Limited edition, only available to rally participants.

 

Loren,
Looks like you are getting it together.
Don't get bummed out by the turnout. A little like some of the import meets
which I go to, the fun we have is not related to number of people attending.

I hope you will leave this thread unlocked so that people can post their
experiences at your first rallye as a way of encouraging others to come out
for your next one.
------------------------------
On another subject,
I've seen other clubs hold what they called "Fun Rallyes" on other non-TSD
nights as a way of introducing people to terminology and following a route.
With a reduced entry fee, scoring was based on mileage and questions asked
along the route.......a little less work to put on than a TSD rallye.

People would draw for starting numbers as a way of discouraging the Lamborghini
hot-rodders from blasting off with a low number and getting the event shut down.
Instructions used non-alterable landmarks/signs.

Bump for your thread....looking forward to hearing of your experiences.-Bob

 

Today is the last day for discounted entry. Will cost you $5 more tomorrow, or $10 more Friday!

Bob, I've put on gimmick rallies before. They are fun, but I don't think they teach a new rallyist enough about true TSD because they get too wrapped up in the gimmicks, and in the end, the actual TSD part isn't relevant to the scoring. I'm trying to get back to the classic TSD format here.

 

The route was pre-run tonight by Bill Flowers and company. The route itself was perfect, but he did uncover a mileage error and a timing (math) error that have been fixed. Good to go now!

Anyone who is registered, if you read the General Instructions last week, you might want to skim them again. I made some revisions over the weekend. Nothing major, just some clarification of timing and scoring processes and a couple new glossary terms.

Anyone who's been on the fence, you can still register for $35 online all day Thursday, $40 online Friday, or $40 cash at the event.
