To All,
I will be setting up the course this Saturday. Not too many turns on this one. Even so, there will some interesting sites and enough chances to get lost. I would advise everyone to bring a state map for reference if they do get lost. At least you will be able to make it to the finish. We will be finishing at a semi-historic spot / tourist attraction (no, not Great Adventure).
We will start at Glory's Discount Market Inc., 584 Cedar Swamp Rd, Jackson, NJ 08527. It's right off of 195 East, exit 21. Take the SILOAM (County Route #526) exit. (Second of 3 possible exits for Jackson.) Go south from the exit to the next light. We will be on the corner there in the big empty parking lot behind the building.
We plan to set-up there for registration at 10:00 am. and we will close registration at 10:30. We will then hold a drivers meeting and get everyone started around 10:45. We will NOT be doing a mileage rally. This will be a timed rally with points scoring. You WILL need a navigator, so grab a partner to read the directions for you.
The points will work as follows:
Arrive exactly on time at the finish. No points (which means you'll probably win). For every second FASTER than the time we will penalize you 1 full point. (it doesn't pay to go faster on this one and we don't want anyone with tickets). For every second SLOWER than the time we will penalize you 1/10th a point. (Going the speed limit and under is GOOD). For every missed clue a 10 point penalty will be assessed. And you will be receiving a sealed envelope. Inside this envelope will be the final destination. If the envelope is opened 35000 point penalty. So you may want to hold on to them and turn them back in at the end.
My cell phone number will be given out at the start in case of EMERGENCIES only. All driver's cell phone numbers will be requested at the drivers meeting so that if you decide to quit or if you take too long, we can get in touch with you. If you get lost, there is always the envelope. I hope to see a good size group at the Rally. If you have any questions/comments please email me at NJStangFan@yahoo.com
Please be prepared for this event. There may or may not be "facilities" available to us either at the start or the final destination. There is no close place for food or beverages at the finish, so be prepared. I'll let Herb make the call about getting together at an establishment afterwards...
