For the July 17 SCLC meet, we're hosting a 3 hours road rally in Malibu, similar to those run by ITN. For those who don't know what a road rally is, it's a scavenger hunt in your car. Two people (a driver and a navigator) get a map and a set of instructions and clues, then try to find each location (checkpoint) and reach it at the exact specified time. Score is based on how close you get to being right on time (not early or late).

There will be Cash prizes for the top 3 teams! In order to make sure we have enough photo copies of the instructions and maps, we have to have entried recieved by June 14th. We plan on limiting it to 20 teams.

Did I forget to mention that this can be done in any street vehicle, it will be on all paved roads, EVERYONE is invited, and there will be CASH PRIZES!!!!

 

hey everyone im back this my first post in like 3 months on here but brian i think me and my dad are going to do it in his 350z i was telling him about it ill be his codriver cause i know the canyons is cool even though his car is a lot better than a lancer if he does the race?

 

haha good luck running malibu canyons ive seen alot of pork driving around up in their latley some of the roads i dont see them on at all are old topanga road and stunt canyon! good luck with ur Rally!

 

Chris, please don't call this rally a race. Calling it a race is what can get you in trouble. Mr Bubbler, you seem to need to understand this as well. It is a navigational rally, meaning the entire thing can be completed and won by running at or below the posted speed limits and obeying traffic laws.

The main reason for having it in canyons is because you want to have the checkpoints out of high traffic street since the cars will be driving under 5mph to "creep" to the checkpoint if they are a little ahead of schedule. It's also nice to have the beautiful views of these roads, and of course cruising through Malibu is much more enjoyable than crusing through, say, Compton. Especially if you plan on stopping on the side of the road to record your score

Anyway, Chris, since we've established that it is not a race and that performance doesn't give any specific advantage, your dad's Z is more than welcome.

 

well i didnt state it was a race but less cops is better if your gonna be driving cars with mods etc etc. its better to be save then sorry

 

true, but I am hoping that the participants in this can at least keep a civil appearance on the sections near civilization. As for the other roads, there will be plenty of people having a good time cruising to the beach, motorcycles, etc. Which reminds me, please respect others on the road, but still have a good time! So, is anyone planning on being there? So far I have 0 entries and 3 verbal committments.

 

Well Brian,
as much as you know I want to do this i have to weigh the costs(time isn't the prob)

1. i have to drive the 4+ hours to get to the start
2. drive the 3 hours of the road rally
3. drive to the place where I know we are gona eat then pay for my food
4. drive the 4+ hours back home

like i said...time isn't the prob...it's the damn 91 being at the cheapest $249
thats a lot of gas

unless someone wants to sponcer a dedicated member for gas??

 

Troie, we still need a few volunteers to help run the rally. You could ride along in another car (or massage Sabrina to keep her from throwing up), and we will be finishing the event at a house (mine to be exact) so I'll feed you as a thank you for helping. How about that?

 

Please note change in date

 

So you'll feed Troie but not me?

Im driving ALL the way up from the OC

 

sure, you can eat at my place too Kareem. Heck, I want to have a pot luck BBQ before the rally.

 

Sweet!

 

thats cause i'm just too damn pretty
but looks like i prob wont make it cause i might be in Colorado with my job
