All the preparations are in place. Weather forecast looks great.

We will rally in the north parking lot of the Green Lane Reservoir Park near the tennis courts at 11:00 on Saturday September 25, 2010. Note that the North Parking lot is on the other side of the reservoir from the Park Office address for those of you using GPS to arrive at the start.
 
Schedule:
Drivers Meeting:              11:00
First car off:                     11:30

Hope to see many of you there.

Myself and couple of friends are looking forward to the event! What do we need to bring with us? Maps? Are we allowed to use GPS? What kind of questions should we expect  be at the checkpoints?

Thanks, Aleksey.

All you need is a working odometer. No GPS or other aids allowed (they won't really help). A clipboard and a pencil will be useful.

At the rally, you will receive a map with the 19 stations noted on it. Your mission is to visit all 19 stations and arrive at the finish with the lowest possible mileage. There is no official route, you are free to go in any direction or sequence you want. The questions are there to ensure you visit each station (they are unmanned). They are not necessarily riddles, although some will require you to be observant as you approach certain stations.

To start there will be a short calibration run to account for odometer fluctuations as well as a couple bonus questions to answer. At the end, we'll determine your mileage, add quarter-mile penalties for incorrect answers and  see who comes out on top.  Trophies to the top three finishers.

See you Saturday.

Chris,

I realize I'm very late to the party here, but I have 2 questions:

1)  Is there a minimum age requirement for my navigator?  The only navigator I can find is my 8 yo son.  If he's allowed, then question #2 applies.

2) I see the motorsportsreg closed at noon today.  Can I register & pay at the start?

I have done other RTR rallies in years past.  Once on my own, although that was somewhat challenging.

Regards,
Karl

+1 ^^  I have never done a rally before, do you need a navigator who is more than 6?  He's a pretty good reader

26,
On another day I would take you up on the offer, but I got the green light to use my son.

I saw in the earlier thread that Dan was looking for a partner.  Try checking with him.
