Not My Fault SCCA/SMSCC Rally 07/19/2008

Well once again i would like to thank the crew at Santa Monica Sports Car Club for an excellent Saturday afternoon.

This rally was a little different from the normal Tome Speed Distance (TSD) Rallies. Not My Fault was made up of legs that required the same amount of calculating, but less boring driving.

Joanna Paden the rallymaster found some of the greatest driving roads in Southern California to be on, designed a rally where we were not bound by a certain cast, and then trough in a little bit of gimmick to keep the navigator busy watching the road instead of tossing cookies. Yes, the roads were that good.

The only part of the rally that bothered me, is the generals were not specific as to where the mileage was calculated to, and she veered away from 80 years of tradition. This therefore caused us to be off on our milegae calculations. We did figure it out when we crossed the last hose conveniently located in the shade because the hose could be anywhere as long as it was in sight of the “calculated point”.

The winning car figured it out early, and I believe the 2nd place car and us did not since our scores were almost exactly the same.

I think the concept of the rally was great, It was a lot of fun and I will know better next time.

Thank you Joanna for a great rally!
