I'm not sure that the DOT rating is quite high enough on that helmet for racing purposes, though. ;)

Given the fun we had this year (first rally ever), I think it's safe to say we'll be back next year. :)

Ratbagsmg (or do you prefer Kevin?) Is there any way we can get a copy of the Tulip Rally route? The roads would be wonderful for a motor. You guys rock! Thanks, Ina

I'm not Kevin and he may have a better answer or suggestion, but he was nice enough to send me a copy of the Rallye instructions & questions. I'll be happy to scan & post them somewhere if someone just tells me where or if you give me a day, I can re-key the route and just post it here. Linda |

I would guess, and I hope I'm not being presumptuous, that the route can be posted here. That would be so nice of you, Linda! Thanks! Ina

Here's the route instructions, as re-keyed. I left out the questions, but if anyone wants those, along with the answers and it doesn't cause Kevin any concerns, I'll be happy to post those as well. If you would prefer these by email in a Word doc, just send me a PM with your email address and I'll forward them to you. - Linda 2006 MGCCNWC TULIP RALLYE INSTRUCTIONS!

Dumb question: I know that Kevin indicated that there were several sets of instructions so you couldn't just follow someone and I know that we saw cars on different cross roads from time to time, so how is it that everyone would have had the same questions in the same order? (Which is the order he read the answers in) Seems as though you would have to all be taking the same route to answer the questions in that order. What am I missing? Now you know why I'm occasionally referred to as - LinDUH |

Everyone passed the same clue in the same order but how they got there was the thing. You can get to the same place by a different route, this is the nice thing about these events. Even if you are one street off they find all the different ways for everyone to travel. Just think of how many ways you can go to the same store.

Oh, yeah. Now I get it. What part did time play into it? Was it used as a tie breaker and did they figure out equal alternate routes so it could be used? What a lot of work! I remain, LinDUH |

I JUST received 2 cd's full of pics from last years Tulip Rally. Here are a few of the good ones! Gosh, I didn't have very many mods yet when this pic was taken.
Actually, I'll upload more when I have more time! |
