I think this is already in teh SE section, but I'll put it here as well. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



OK, here it is, the next MRCCFL road rally. About time, right? The date will be Saturday, July 24th.



This will be a large event so anyone and everyone is welcome. Activities will include a road rally in the morning, finishing at a local park where we will have plenty of food. On hand at the park will be Maztech owner Jeff Gladish to do a talk about the many seals in a rotary engine. I will also be leading a discussion on the history of the rotary engine.



More details are certainly coming, as they become available. But at least everyone has plenty of notice. Hope to see you all there.

Looking forward to it!

I just sent a message saying to post this up here.....but you got it already. Guess great minds think alike....https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I was going to reply to look here, but when I came to copy the link, you had found it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



Jerry

You two guys are starting to scare me a little bit.

Count me in. I am a MCFFL newbie. I just joined online a month or two ago.

Some more info...

Costs:



MRCCFL members

Free rally entrance

Free meal



Non-MRCCFL members

$5 rally entrance fee

$5 for BBQ meal



Fees can be collected there, but if you're pretty sure you're coming, please let us know, so we can make sure to have enough food. Of course, you're more than welcome to bring your own food as well, and if you do bring your own food and don't participate in the rally, then the event is free. The food we will have on hand will be BBQ pork, potato salad, beans, chips, etc.

And some more....



The initial meet up point is likely to be off of I-275 and Bearss Ave. The rally will end at Philippe Park in Safety Harbor, where the BBQ will be held.



I can't tell you how many miles the rally will be. It's not completely finished yet, and we always leave some of the mileages off the direction sheet, it needs to be challenging.



But the fact that we'll be going from I-275 and Bearss to Safety Harbor gives you an idea.



As soon as everything is finalized, I will definitely post the info.

Count me in for 1 member plus one. I need to bring along a navigator https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



I don't have my member card in yet, does that matter?

I could really use some help explaining to my navigator what she needs to do. Since she is my wife, i can't explain it. I need to point her somewhere she can learn it herself.



That way she can better tell me how i am driving wrong.

I can look for some links online, but basically, she needs to help you by telling you where to turn, reading the course sheet, reading out street names, speed limits, mileages, etc. It's really no different than going to mapquest, printing out directions and following them. With the added challenge of some missing street names, mileages, and you have to follow the speed limit.



I'll see if I can find some tutorials online.

Count me in plus one more.

Final Rally Details



Meeting Time- 10:00 AM sharp, Saturday July 24, 2004



Meeting Place- Publix between Florida Ave and Nebraska Ave. This is just south of the Business US 41 and US 41 (Florida/Nebraska) split. This link will be updated to reflect the added directions very soon. We will meet at the northeastern corner of the parking lot.



I intend to run on time. First car will be rolling out around 10:15-10:20. If you are arriving from out of town and wish to preregister, so that I have your information, please contact me. I would actually advise everyone to preregister, out of town or local, MRCCFL member or not. If not an MRCCFL member, I can collect the $5 rally fee that morning.



Depending on turnout, the rally will consist of



a) a two stage timed rally, with a third stage non-timed group caravan to Philippe Park. Only the first two stages will be used to compute the rally scores and winners.



OR



b) a three stage timed rally, with all stages being used to compute rally scores and winners.



The larger the group, the more likely we will go with plan A; the smaller the group, we will go with plan B. I will make this decision that morning and inform you all at the driver's meeting.



That wraps up the rally. We will end at the park, break for food, have a presentation for the rally results and trophies, and then the two promised discussions from Jeff Gladish and myself.



The BBQ at Philippe Park can start before the rally arrives. I will announce that exact time later this weekend and any other pertinent information.



And finally, the HYPE.

Anyone from the south FL area planning on going?

I'm signed up and will be there on Saturday. If I can get off I'll be there on Friday as well. Jack

What?

Sorry for the confusion.
