Minneapolis area - timed rally event - gauging interest
Bump. This still a possibility Dave?? I was watching an older Top Gear UK episode where they had to take 3 cars from 82 and older to prove they're more fun to drive in than todays modern car. They had entered in a rally race with their cars and they had an extra team member with them, the race is exactly what you have planned up Dave, but the extra team member has a map of the layout of the rally race and their is speed limits on certain corners and on certain straights that you have to be to as close as possible. Like before closest time to the est. Time wins. Just throwing out another idea.

WTF...
Just when I wrote this off, you guys are interested? Okay, great. Tara was asking about it anyway and wanted to really get this going.
Will have to hammer out the details and get back to you guys.
All I really need is a good head count. You guys and gals pick your navigators, and we'll take care of the rest.

Still working on this. I'll probably be at the start and finish line marking your times down.
Why don't you guys start a list here so I know how many are participating.

Damn it this IS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!! I'm setting this for Aug 11. I'm going to set up checkpoints in which you must take a picture with your cellphone varifying that you were there. There will be prizes for the top 3 people closest to the timed event, however there will be an entry fee of $10 per person to cover prize money. Depending on how many people sign up depends on how good the prize will be.
Let's get a list going!!!

Just add to the list, people. No one's going to tell you what's involved. Sign up, throw your name in the hat, and be ready for some fun.
Hahaha, too true.... i'll ask her what her plans are that day, not mention i have anything goin on, and if it sounds like there isn't much i may just be "sick" that day, and needing to recover before the wedding...
