i dont get it.. could your just sit around and wait for the perfect time?

 

I am assuming this is happening this weekend? I can almost guarentee I'll be donating more than $10 to the MN SPTA if I participate. LOL Sounds almost like a Cannon Ball Rally Race. Sounds like fun, thnx for posting it.

 

Cool event. however I bet you just scared away 90% of the people on here since they need to get gas at holiday to finish. (even though i think holiday is the only gas station in grand marias)

 

no, because the drivers won't know what that time is until after you finish

 

ok so ill mapquest the distance to get the exact time.

 

You could get there early enough to wait, if you don't get disqualified in the process. It all depends on your strategy.

 

so if anyone else in the rally catches us speeding were also out?

 

MN SPTA has gotten enough of my money already =) Sounds like a good time though.

 

Apologies for being a little vague. What will get you disqualified is a legal citation for breaking a traffic law.

 

so is it this weekend?

 

That is correct, it's this Saturday the 3rd.

 

how are you suppose to win if you don't break the law? ; this is odd. Is you tricking us?

 

I'm quite surprised to see so many people so unfamiliar with the road rally.

it's not a 'race' as in first to get there wins. they calculate what a reasonable time would be, and after everyone's finished, give a prize to the person closest to that.

it's not a competitive race, just a cool way to hangout and go for a drive for a 'good' cause. winning is pretty much just chance (although, if you get stuck in traffic/construction you'll have a pretty small chance of winning, so you'll want to plan your course).

 

Ooo I see, thank you for explaining for a newb such as meself.

 

well i will be in lutsen on saterday painting my car, so i may try and head to gm around your expected arival time and meet up with u guys if i get the chance.

 

If i wasn't putting in a clutch this weekend, I'd be up for it.
