TGGRRR (Ali) Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Posted June 18, 2015 The rally is right around the corner. Are you thinking of strategy? How can you get from the start to the Cheeky Checkpoint/ Shiny Checkpoint and to PTuning in the shortest distance? Will you carefully calculate miles when the checkpoints are revealed making sure you cut off any possible distance driving through parking lots to make the shortest distance? Will you play hard or be laughing to hard to figure any of this out and just motor through. Will you rely on your wit and charm with the judges to win as many miles off coupons as you can? Pandering to the officials is highly encouraged, I really like the color orange and gluten free cookies.... Will you cheat? If so, I hope you do so gloriously In case you aren't fully clear on the miles coupons they serve two purposes. 1. you can take the miles off of your final mileage 2. you can dole them out to your competitors and ADD miles to their final mileage You decide..... If you're not familiar with Top Gear you might want to watch a few episodes where they score one of their challenges on the white board. Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Posted June 18, 2015 For those of you that are not familiar with Top Gear, Here's an example of the style of scoring at the finish line Here's the direct link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz3LtnXh85w&feature=youtu.be I can't get the link to the exact time to work embedded but here's the whole video embedded.

isherri Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 Those of you participating on Saturday be sure to wish Melissa and Valerie the happiest of birthdays! Melissa is celebrating at Dice Burger tomorrow night and will be working at the rally. Valerie will be riding along in Lillith with her daughter Jennifer. :birthday: :birthday:
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Posted June 18, 2015 Good news, PTuning has confirmed that the brewery next door will have a food truck. I don't know what kind but that means you can buy real food cause while we're awesome and all, the DCMM food budget is skimpy. We'll still provide some punch and pie and snacks Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
