Carrie & I would like to remind everyone not to miss the rally we're putting on this Sunday, May 3rd. Bring a teammate and show up at the Evansville West Side Home Depot at 1PM. The rally should take you about 2hours, and we will end up a the Gersthaus on Franklin Street.
THERE WILL ALSO BE A SPECIAL BONUS TROPHY AWARDED BASED ON SKILLS NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO TSD RALLY! So even if you don't have some fancy-dancy spreadsheet loaded on your laptop for calculating average speeds, you've still got a shot at the special trophy... Come to think of it, you probably have a better shot at the event trophy too!-)
The route instructions are VERY easy to follow, but there are a LOT of them, on average about 1 per mile. Couple this with the special challenges for the bonus prize, and both beginner and veteran rallists should find it fun. The roads are VERY curvy and hilly. Of course I am a bit biased, but I think this will be one of the best driver's rallies of the year. Driving at legal rally speeds, these roads have lot's of "whee" hill tops, switchbacks, hairpins, and plenty of beautiful countryside. After driving the rally in the Volkswagen earlier this week, Carrie commented "Boy, my arms are tired!"
