<VV> Road Rallies

[airvair at earthlink.net]

Now if you want a REAL econorun, have it as an integral part of the rally.
The start and end of the rally be the start and end of the econorun.
Certainly we'd be getting more real-life economy measurements.

And it would "kill two birds with one stone."

I agree with Bob's first statement, you shouldn't have to struggle to find
landmarks. 

I stopped going on rallies because most rally masters didn't know what they
were doing. 

A rally is as simple as me giving you directions to my house. No matter how
good my directions, someone will either misread them or do something else. 

When running a rally, you ALWAYS get them on and off major roadways as
easily and as obvious as possible. Get them back onto country rodes and
NEVER have them leave the car or have to LOOK BACK for a clue. You want to
keep everyone SAFE. 

Gimmick rallies are fun for those new to rallies but for the more
experienced, TSD is the only way to go. 

But getting to the economy run, why not do the rally and the econo run at
the same time as the gimmick or TSD rally? You could make it work and do
both at once.

If you are struggling to find landmarks then the rally is poorly 
designed. Â It should not be a contest between the competitors and the 
sneakiness of the rallymaster. Â It should be about time - speed -
distance.
