For those of you coming out this weekend, here is an update.

 

The event is coming together well.  It looks like we won't have snow for this event, but as everyone knows, anything can happen and it doesn't take much to make an event challenging.  No matter what happens, it should be a good time!

 

I went out and drove the first half of the rally last night. The roads are in surprisingly good shape.  There are some rough spots, but most of the first half roads are hard and smooth.  I did see some snow on the side of the roads, maybe I can push some in the middle of the road for the first cars through!!!??!

 

FOOD UPDATE:

Peter's Party Complex is very accommodating with hosting our events.  We have arranged for a typical buffet since there is no other food in the area.  The buffet will be $10/person payable when you register.  We had to commit to a minimum of 30 people for the buffet, so please plan on eating with us if you can. 

 

TIMING UPDATE:

Please note that this event is 1/2 hour earlier than normal.  The intention was to make the finish more reasonable.  That turns out to be a good thing.  Peter's is requesting that we be done about 12:30 if possible.  That should be enough time.  The good news for the competitors is that it shouldn't be exceedingly late for awards, so please plan on hanging out with us for awards (and food!).  (The first car should be back about 11PM.)

 

Thanks to all those that will be competing and working.  This will be the start of another great series!!
