It’s the Great Pumpkin Rally, Charlie Brown!

* Rally type: 1) TSD (time-speed-distance, but to the second and 1/10th of a mile). 2) Traditional sign-hunt.
* Route: It’s the same as last year. If you ran it last year, you must run it as a TSD this year.
* Vehicles: Sports Cars, Classic Cars, Antiques, Hot Rods, Cruisers, Speedsters, anything with 4 wheels that’s street legal is OK in this Rally. We had two Z-cars in our last rally: one of them came in 5th in the First-Timer class.
* Rally Fee: $30.00 SCCA Members: $20.00 $5.00 late fee if not preregistered at tinyurl.com/GPR10msr .
* Awards for the usual SCCA Classes, in both 1) TSD and 2) sign-hunt.
* Rallymasters: Richard and Juanita Miller

If you want to try your hand at "Time-Speed-Distance" rallying, bring a stop-watch and a calculator, or just 'guestimate' and see how close you can come to the assigned speed.

If not, just enter the sign-hunt and try to figure out Richard's puns. It's fun.

All on paved roads, at legal speeds and … get ready for a fun morning on the road, and more fun at the Festival of Pumpkins in Paris!

Oh heck yes! Let me make sure I can get off work that Saturday and I am definately in. My gf would enjoy this too. Not the driving but the shopping and antique shops in Paris. Best part is, that starbucks is 5 miles from my house.

 

Folks...these events are a LOT of fun!! They are not about driving fast. Rather they are about precision driving. It's a great test of self discipline to follow the directions precisely.
Enjoy!!!
