Sure..I live a couple miles away in North Clarendon. During the week I should be around....weekends are a little touch and go for the next couple of weeks.
I am the 73%

Re: Penn York Rally 2014
Nice! My wife and I do some TSD events from time to time. She really likes them...if we win. I navigate because I have a lot of TSD experience so it's a lot easier for me to read the notes and/or tulips, do the math, etc. than it is for her to try and pick all that up.
The kind of dirty that doesn't wash off

Re: Penn York Rally 2014
The rally was run with Great Race rules. Time and speed, no distance. you can only use a speedometer a clock and a stopwatch, no speed pilot no rally computer no GPS, cell phone either. I discovered the speedometer in my car is neither accurate nor linear. They guys that did really well have timewise speedometers which are really accurate, and they also have a really good handle on the acceleration and deceleration profiles for their cars as you have to factor all off speed maneuvers and correct for them to get a good score.
Here are some pics from the event. Note the other Saab was a 69 96 and they are serious competitors.

Some really cool cars and we stopped at a private collection for a 20 minute break, but could have used more time. There is another rally in Delaware in October put on by the same group and I may enter if I can talk my navigator (wife) into it. She did admit it was more fun than going to Carlisle and I could link a trip to Longwood gardens or Philly to entice her.
Thinking some year I would like to enter the Great Race so I am ISO a pre 72 99 to build up.
