carman63 Posted August 28, 2010 Report Posted August 28, 2010 If having a navigator is a must, I may have to back out. My navigator is in bed sick at the moment.
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted August 28, 2010 Author Report Posted August 28, 2010 It would be very challenging to hit the times, and the checkpoints and do the challenge questions without a navigator. I hope Jennifer feels better soon, I'm so sorry to hear she's sick Ali Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted August 30, 2010 Author Report Posted August 30, 2010 Thanks Haemish There were definitely some lessons learned. I am thinking of putting together some questions to ask the participants. There are all kinds of ways to do this kind of event and maybe next year we can do a different kind of twist.

cmcveay Posted August 30, 2010 Report Posted August 30, 2010 I can only agree with everything that Haemish said. I think a great round of applause should also go out to each and every person who participated. You were all polite and respectful to people who have been working on this event for months (the first 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
maacodale Posted August 30, 2010 Report Posted August 30, 2010 FANTASTIC! Good job Ali and all the DC gang! I'm really glad this event went well and raising 650 bucks is a major score. I wish I could have made it, it sounds like y'all had a good time.

Edge Posted August 30, 2010 Report Posted August 30, 2010 I thought you said you nailed it? We did! The recorded time showed us 5 minutes off, which was impossible because we had taken the previous timed turn right on the dime per the sheet and our stopwatch.

I'm happy you enjoyed the event, I wish I had realized earlier there was an issue but there was no way to know. I think that we really didn't realize the impact of how much goes on at the very end.

I knew we were really close in VA, but I was sure we were WAY behind in MD. We had a great time and can't wait to do it again! :motor:
