Hey, Bob!

I may take you up on that offer. I have a basic route done for this one, and I did pre-run it with another experienced rallist navigating (and me keeping my mouth shut driving). But, I need to make some adjustments to tie the route to the start and end points and insert checkpoints. Once that is all done and I have the final route, it would be good to have someone pre-run it.

I definitely get what you're saying about keeping the speeds in check. My average speeds are normally set 5-10 mph less than the speed limit. It's sort of an inverse relationship. If the speed limit is 45 or greater, I expect local traffic to likely be trying to exceed the speed limit, so I set the speed very near the speed limit so that my rallyists aren't rolling road blocks. If the speed limit is 35 or less, depending on how residential or congested the area is, I'll set the speed much lower. Sometimes 20 or even 15 so people don't have to "rush" through such areas.

No real tricks in these Friday night rallies. They are intended for Novices, and I want them to have fun while learning to Rally! My goal is for people to NOT get lost.
