TGGRRR (Ali) Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 It's hard to tell exactly how many participants we have. 9 cars have officially registered, but I get about 20 cars if I count unique the yes RSVPs across DCMM, C3M and Facebook I think we have about 12 or 13 volunteers, but we actually need that many Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 you're the pace car, you get normal directions and don't need a calculator.

Maxicooper Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 One of the useful formula: Travelling speed = (60 x distance) / time For example: you have 2 miles to go to the TC1 and have to be there at precisely 5 minutes, to calculate your travel speed is, (60 x 2) / 5 = 24.

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 exactly Jim There are a lot of variables and with all the best calculations, you're still going to need some luck too.
