Was talking with !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! about something else and classic car driving came up and I realized I haven’t updated much on this event.

With my trip to Europe in May I have put the rally on the back burner for the time being. I have still gone looking at suitable check points etc and it is looking like it should be a good trip.

As for ETA I hope to have something all set up for late Fall or Early winter. Maybe October or November.

How does that sound?

I just voted on the poll from the super old post. I’d be interested but if it’s North, I’ll have to do some convincing to drive up from San Diego.

No you can’t route check cause then you can’t hit those points

The only things stopping me from doing this is money and not having a classic car.

Requirement is car, not classic.

Wha? You no need help making routes?

Oh I mean I will definatley consult you on it! But the rules are if you are out checking on the checkpoints it isn’t fair to get points for that one when the rally happens .

You don’t have to tell me checkpoints, I just had route recce in mind, checking time to distance, average speed, etc. Good info to have as an organizer, that way you know roughly what people will be facing and when they’ll be where. Really I just want to go driving :)

It’s going to depend on a few things. I’d love to, roadblocks are:

1. If we have super cold winter again this coming fall I would tap out

2. PTO time is becoming more scarce and may be a luxury by EOY

While those two are it, we won’t know if they will resolve properly until much much later. Otherwise I am tent atively on board.

Turo is wildly popular in the LA area!

I’ll look into it, but I’m technically a foreign driver...

You damn foreigner, we need to build a wall to keep you out! Haha but yeah I had looked at renting from Turo in Canada and it didnt seem like an issue for me. So I would imagine vice versa should be allowed. It seemed like they have a mutal agreement between US/Canada. But who knows if insurance all plays friendly with that! In general insurance is the sketchy part of Turo anyways, since your own provider would probably do diddly squat in any situation. I have always just bought the Turo provided insurance but it doesnt cover a whole lot to begin with.

Insurance does play friendly between our countries, so that’s all good.  I will check it out!
