Too soon?

How about at one of the checkpoints you're required to do some automotive maintenance task before continuing, like changing a tire with the factory-supplied jack and lug-nut wrench?

How about start in Milwaukee and race to Door County. Of we're going to do a road rally, we may as well do it big.

I think the intention here is to set up some kind of driving event that encourages .. er ... more "responsible" driving than is typically seen on cruises, but is still fun for the participants. It's hard to get a group of hooligans together and in their cars without some kind of shenanigans happening. For some people that's part of the fun, but I'm sure for others it's a bit alienating. It only takes one person driving beyond their abilities or a little bit of bad luck to create an ugly situation...

I'm not much of a navigator, but if you need someone to man a checkpoint or hand out playing cards I'd be willing to help.

Any chance we could do something like this at the meet Saturday rather then a cruise?

Too little too late to set this infrastructure in place. It's something we could definitely look into for next year.

Cool idea but what about us outlanders? Me and a few other members are still 1.5hr away from appleton. Sucko

An appropriate final destination can be considered for groups like you guys in the boondocks if desired for a multi-"regional" rally

Alternate proposal: Pocket Run?

I think either is a good idea tho.

You see who has the best 5-card poker hand (Winner!)

There a lot more then that to it - but you get the idea.

Unless you are talking about a late night run to the gas station for some Hot Pockets then I have no idea what this is. 

Thanks for the link Pat.  I do think checkpoints are a good idea, but without transponders or anything Id imagine the only way to mark a checkpoint time (without people monitoring at each checkpoint which isnt realistic) is to have the participant take a picture of the checkpoint with their phone and post it in a rally thread so that there would be a timestamp of when they sent it. 

I think 2 or 3 checkpoints would be cool. That would make me feel fine about not restricting use of freeways for the event, the idea behind only allowing side roads is to prevent it from just being a train of cars cruising down the freeway together and defeating the purpose, having checkpoints would make it easier to not restrict freeway use since checkpoints could be spread out

   Thoughts?
