Monte Carlo style rally August 25

[pleiad7]

We are planning a meet and drive event in the North Bay for the posted date.

 

This will be an introduction to Monte Carlo style rallying.

 

A brief synopsis:

 

You're given maps, the general location of the checkpoint, and the EXACT time to be there. If you map out the correct route, you can make it at or below the speed limit to the checkpoint. If you choose the wrong roads, you'll either make it there early or have to "make up time" on these deserted back roads.

 

It's up to you to stay on time to each checkpoint...it's up to you to have your navigator reading the signs and getting the clues to get you there on time.

 

Penalty points are assessed if you cross the checkpoint either EARLY or LATE...and the winner is the one who gets the least amount of points. Creeping to the checkpoint is allowed if you're early, but when in sight of the checkpoint you MUST remain moving. Making up time (if you're late) is up to you...and I think most of you know how to do that.

 

Registration is free and opens at 3pm; meeting location is going to be [ame=http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=lakeville+hwy+%26+stage+gulch+rd,+petaluma,+ca&sll=38.191244,-122.536697&sspn=0.172964,0.291481&ie=UTF8&z=16&iwloc=addr&om=1]Ernie's Tin Bar[/ame] (corner of Lakeville Highway [Hwy 116] and Stage Gulch Road, southeast of Petaluma).
