sounds like fun.
count me in providing i have a new car by then and i'm not working.
Hey all its on again, but with a difference!
For this, you'll all receive a set of checkpoints 5 minutes prior to departure. Each checkpoint will predominantly be worth 1 point, with a few bonus points along the way.
If you finish out of order, 1 point is lost - this is to emphasize that it is definitely not a race as there is no prize or extra points for returning first - in fact, you would lose a point if you finish first but didn't depart first, but also in the event that this happens due to u-turns / wrong turns, it can both level out the playing field and mix it up a bit.
Bonuses:
10 points for dirtiest car
10 points for cleanest car
10 points for most interesting photo of you, your car, and a checkpoint in one shot - photo taken by navigator and voted for at the venue
5 points per person for coming along in costume, maximum 2 per car (this MUST be worn at the pub - and as such needs to still be appropriate in public lol)
At the venue, the person with the highest number of points gets their lunch + 2 drinks shouted by the rest of the crew. So, you can view this two ways: Pessimistic- Ahh man an extra $2 or $3! or Positive - woohoo free lunch if I participate and win! (I'd view the 2nd option very favourably!)
This has been done successfully in other states so I'm aiming to match their success and make this a great day full of fun, banter and good food! Rest assured the roads you'll be traveling will be the same style as every other run!
What to bring: An accomplice / navigator, modern street directory, pen/pencil and of course, cameras!
Meet point: Burnside Village Carpark - top level.
Meet time: 9am 6th June, departing 9:20am in 1 minute 30 second intervals, hopefully also on the 6th June
Eats: German Arms Hotel (definitely a favourite)
Route description: The usual mix![]()
On the route, no need this time to keep an eye on the car in front of you - you'll be wanting to stay ahead of the one behind(hopefully, there won't be many running together for this!)
