Default Twin Cities Z Club timed rally event - final plans

Updated plans!


So here's the plan:

Saturday, August 25th
Meeting time at my house by 1130 (at the latest!)
First 5 cars leave at noon (sharp); 1 minute intervals.
BYOB (beverages and beef) for party after driving event

This is every person for themselves.
Each person will have a map that we plan on providing.
Bring your camera phones fully charged.
Only the event organizer (Tara) will know the way points and estimated driving times.
At the start of the event, everyone will get a list of way points.
Rules, maps, lists, and everything else will be discussed at 1130.

Each car will leave at one minute intervals and drive to each way point in the order given.
When the car arrives at that way point, the driver will take a photo of the landmark and text it to Tara.
A poster sized score card will be maintained to track the texts (time rcvd).
Once you send the text, move on to the next point and do the same thing.
Finish the event by returning to my house.

No one will know the base time between each segment. This ensures that no one can really cheat, but everyone must obey the rules of the road. In other words, take your time because whoever comes closest to the base time for each segment wins that segment.

When everyone gets back to the house, Tara will go over the segments, the times, etc. WE can also share our stories.

Finally, the winner who wins the most segments will get the jackpot prize. The prize will consist of the buy-in money for this event. To enter, have $10 in cash before the event. This fee is per car. This guarantees a commitment for each driver to show up and finish the event.

So here's the list of participants:

1. Dave
2. Greg
3. Erik
4. John (end of Z world)
5. Ryan SR71
