Minneapolis area - timed rally event - gauging interest

SmoothZ

For the Twin Cities Z Club, I've been asked by Tara to see how many of you guys and gals are interested in doing this as one of the summer events. She wants to plan for it well in advance and take care of all the details for us.

The basic concept of this:

Start at my house and leave in timed intervals,
use a navigator and drive to predetermined locations (safely),
check in at each interval,
ultimately make it back to my place for the party and prizes.

She's going to need volunteers for the checkpoints. She thinks a small donation is needed to help pay for 'registration' to buy a prize or whatever, also some of that money will go towards food and drinks (unless you bring it at the beginning of the event), and this should be invitation only.

I'm not too thrilled about people I don't know who show up at my house and start eating my food and walking around my house. Let's not have that happen again.

Recruiting your GF's, wives, friends, w/e for the relay race is recommended. They can be your navigators, drivers, or checkpoint volunteers. Make sure you can get them to commit to an all day or half day event.

Tara won't give me details since I'll probably be in the relay, so don't ask me. She wants to set up the checkpoints and what not. She's asking to get a list of interested people ASAP. I believe her brother will help set something up online. More details will follow.

For now, let's set up the list and get the word out to your fellow enthusiasts. I don't care if it's Z's, G's, or other nice cars. I just don't want any crazy people who are going to be reckless. It's not about speed but how you get there.

Participants:

1. Dave and ???
2.
3.

Hi, I'm planning a trip to ZdayZ may 14-20. Then a trip to Niagra Falls mid June.

Do you have dates picked out? I would attend if it works out around my work schedule.

You might want to check with your local SCCA. Many chapters conduct just the type rally you're describing. You do not have to be a member of the SCCA plus they do all the work. All you have to do is drive!

I'm very active in the rally program here in Kansas City and I always have a blast.

give more details about your rally program please

Count me in depending on the dates. I pretty booked with travel this spring for work but hopefully it will work out.

The "Z" came out of storage today! 70 degrees this week! The weather is crazy here.... It's like getting a new car every spring...

I just brought mine up from Texas! Got my first compliment at a gas station last night from two hotties. "Sick car dude..."

So bad I couldn't have fit them both in there lmao.
