Spring Fling Rally
LVMOC
2011 SPRING FLING RALLY
By Ronald G. Gabel
Our first LVMOC Spring Fling Rally is being planned for a Sunday in July or August 2011. The rally will begin with breakfast on your own at The Starlite Diner on Route 100 (just South of Route 78) at 8:30-10:00 AM. A rally is a form of friendly competition in which participating cars leave a starting point individually, and are directed to follow a more or less complicated route to a finish point ...... at which point all the competitors “rally”.
This will in no way be a race. In a race the idea is to get to the finish line in the shortest possible time. In this contest the aim is to follow the predetermined route, and to correctly answer questions the answers to which can be found along the way (sort of a treasure hunt). Time allowed for completion of the rally will be more than sufficient to complete the task. This contest is simply a test of your ability to follow precise directions.
Our LVMOC rally will cover approximately fifty miles. Directions will be simple so no previous experience will be necessary. The rally will basically be a nice drive through the country, over scenic back roads while searching for answers to a number of sometimes cryptic or challenging questions, answers to which can be found along the way. You will drive slowly since you will be scored on driving the “exact” route and distance, backtracking to locate missed answers will count against you. Of course, so will missing the answer. Bring your camera you will have plenty of time for pictures.
Obviously, this is NOT normally a one-man job. We strongly recommend two persons to a car ...... one to drive the other to “navigate”. All you really need to participate is a pencil, a car, a love for driving, a roadmap in case you get lost, and the desire to have a good time.
General Instructions will be given to each navigator the morning of the rally. These “Generals” will explain how to correctly follow the route and the “Rules of the Road”. Your rally master will go over the instructions in detail and will answer all questions at the drivers meeting prior to the start of the rally.
The first car will start at about 10:00 AM. The Route Instructions, your directions from the start to finish of the rally, will be given to each driver one-minute prior to his start time. One of the cardinal rally rules is “NEVER ASSUME ANYTHING”, read your Generals carefully.
Hope you will all plan ahead to join us next summer for good food, good fun and good fellowship. Complementary light Refreshments and toilet facilities will be available at the half-way point of the rally Food and drink will always be available at the end of the rally. Plan to come early and have breakfast prior to the 10:00 AM starting time.
JOIN IN THE FUN! PLAN NOT TO MISS THIS ONE! THE MORE PARTICIPANTS, THE MORE THE FUN!
Stay tuned for a scheduled date
