Wow, I'm really liking the paint job on Adam's JCW!! I can hardly wait to see it in person this coming weekend. Nice job Adam!! I think you did the paintwork yourself, right?

      I was worrying about putting pictures of other people's cars online. Hope the owners don't mind.  Uploaded to Photobucket, feel free to download them!

I agree with Jack... I use Shutterfly and Flickr myself, but there are many other websites where you can store photos for free.

If you have a few (5 - 10) should be OK to post the here - otherwise it is best to post them on the web and post a link - pictures on the forums are limnited in size so it is much better viewing them in larger format on a web site. I use Picasa but there are others available...

FYI, I heard back from Joe (Halfrack) and he is still in the process of uploading all of the rally photos to SmugMug. He took a lot of photos, over 90 of just the start of the rally, plus more, so it's going to take a while apparently. We will let everyone know when they are ready for viewing.

The short answer is that I'm not sure. We don't exactly have an official photographer. Joe (Halfrack) volunteered on his own initiative to take some photos and share them, but he seems to be absent at the moment. I sent him a PM on Saturday, but unfortunately I haven't heard anything back yet.

It's a bummer that I missed out on this fun drive, but I had to work. I will look forward to next year's Twist & Turns Road Rally. It sounds like it was a hit (obit the error with the scores). Next year should be even better.

Thanks Roy & Beth and everyone who helped put on such a great event. Sorry we had to bow out after the 2nd check point, and I'm sure Linda and Jack communicated that to you. The twists and turns were so much fun and the scenery of the neighborhoods was beautiful. We learned allot of new back roads and rally tricks and enjoyed it tremendously! Thanks again for a great event.

Yep, you got it. The forced left onto 113th to avoid the dead-end was an unnecessary instruction per the rally rules. Here it is mapped out for other people's benefit: Hover over each numbered yellow spot to see the corresponding rally instruction. |

makes perfect sense now. It was really bugging me yesterday trying to figure out how we were so far off.
Thanks for creating such a great rally.

One of the most important rules for people to remember is: 7. Avoid
travelling on prohibited roads at all times unless otherwise directed. These roads will not be considered
opportunities or counted to identify the rally course. You may be forced to change direction to
avoid a prohibited road, but if a selection of turns is possible, an
instruction will be given. I think a lot of people that were forced by a dead-end to take a turn not listed in the directions assumed they were "lost", when in fact they were still on course. Under rally rules, it's not considered necessary to instruct drivers to make a turn, if turning is the only option. This sort of thing is, of course, what makes a rally a little bit tricky and challenging. With experience, it gets easier to interpret such situations and determine the correct course. If the course was immediately obvious to everyone then it wouldn't be much of a challenge.  Fortunately, although the route created some confusion, people still found their way through the legs and finished, which was what I was hoping for. So, well done! |

OK, I've been looking at maps and trying to figure out how we screwed up the first couple directions so badly. Number 6 is on 115th crossing Lake City way. I can't see how we got there.
What path were we suppose to take? After a litte more looking at the map, I see it we were on the correct path to start out, right on 114th, then right at the T onto 12th NE, then we should have turned left onto 113th when straight was a dead end. The rest of the instructions work from there. Newby mistakes. Edited by garumph - July/01/12 at 5:51pm |

Congrats to the real winners!
Also, a BIG congrats and thank you to Roy & Beth for putting on such a fun and successful event. Even the wrong turn we took along with Peabody was a blast! This was Erin & my first event...the bar has been set very high.
Looking forward to the Bothell 4th Parade as well as Stonehenge run later this month |

The "Right at next stop sign" and the No-outlet almost got us too. We had to stop and ponder it a bit. The watch for fast traffic was our saving grace.

Okay, we'll fess up - WE are car #18. However, in our defense, we were a little confused.
1) We thought the car with the HIGHEST score would be the winner; 2) We thought "No Outlet" meant there was no plug-in station for electric cars to re-charge on the road ahead; and 3) We thought the $20.00 we promised Roy before the rally started might be some insurance against a low finish. All kidding aside, that was one of the best rallies we have ever run. Roy and Beth put together a fun and twisty course. Thanks to them and to everyone else who helped make this a success. I also was really pleased with the number of new people who participated. Our club just gets better with new members joining in. I hope that all of you will continue to participate in coming events. And now Mavourneen and I will begin practicing our rally skills in the parking lot at Safeway.

What fun,what fun, WHAT FUN THAT WAS!
Mostly sunny, quality time with our MINIS and with our friends, prizes, AND root beer. What could be better. Thanks to all, and Beth, don't think for a minute that the little scoring snafu gets you off the hook for planning another event. Looking forward to the 2nd annual Twists and Turns. Gretchen |
