    Fall Color Rally was posted on: 10-11-04 13:32:05


    Ok since MAC's middle name is Autosports (not autocross).
    How about something a little different.

    I have set up a Road Rally for all those interested.
    This is a FUN rally (not tricky directions to get you lost).
    You will be easily able to follow the route.
    The "challenge" is to answer a series of questions by spotting things
    along the way.
    You do not have to answer the questions, so you can just drive and
    enjoy the colors.

    This is a drive on public, paved roads at posted speed limits.
    The route follows great driving roads (curves).
    There should be peak fall color.
    This is a two stage rally (reststop break between)
    Each stage is approximately 30 miles (45 - 60 min)
    The total rally will take approximately 3 hours.

    What to bring:
    Yourself
    Car with full tank of gas
    Navigator (spouse or friend)
    Clipboard or some hard surface to write on
    Pencil or pen
    NO COST FOR RALLY (but we will most likely get together at a
    restaurant after for "bench rallying")

    Where:
    We will meet in corner of the NorthEast parking lot at
    Ridgedale Shopping Center. (Ridgedale Drive and I-394)

    When:
    Sunday Afternoon October 17, 2004 (see below)
    Show up for "registration" between 12:30 & 1:00 pm.
    There will be a drivers/navigators meeting at 1:00 pm
    (route books will be distributed)
    The cars will be sent out 1 minute apart at 1:10 pm

    Date:
    Please post your interest.
    If there is limited responce for the 17th I will
    rescedule to Sunday October 24, 2004 (same times)

    I will be checking this post for responces, so please post.
    I would like to get an idea of how many route books to print.

    This sounds awome and is really close to me. Count me in for it. I got an open spot for a co-driver if anyone is willing to meet a stranger and have some fun

    Yeah, wouldn't this event happen at the same time the Autumn drive is happening?

    Yup, and the Autumn drive will still be wayyy more fun. I won't make this trip because on Sunday, Chris and I are taking my ambers out.
