we did this last year and those who came like it.
i need to take my truck out for a test run before i take for a big of road trip in a couple months.
nice safe place. nice views. all the dirt your can handle. legal. plus the drive just to get to HH is a killer 2 lane curvy uphill road. something to satify everyone.
cost $4 to get in for the day. it has flushing toilets and domino's might even deliver pizza.

I'm down to do a one-day event, like the one on 12/28, or some Hollister action, but I'm not down with TSD rallies.
I like going sometimes fast, sometimes slow off-road, but I like it for the virtue of exploring offroad, not for being consistent with my mph & isht.
I just don't want to high-center, hit my oilpan/tranny/diff on a rock, or intake water into my engine, that's all I ask of myself!

There are a few things I don't like about "follow the leader" style drives;
First not everyone is comfortable at the pace that others like to drive, and in fact some people simply shouldn't be driving as fast as some other people are- I remember an incident after a Lafayette BBQ where one of our more esteemed members had his car seriously damaged because he was trying to keep up with a pack at a pace that was a little too fast.
Then there is the legal situation, if CHP comes across a string of cars following each other at speed on their bumpers, they are generally going to want to be kinda harsh on everybody.
It also makes it somewhat difficult to plan where the crew is going to be when, especially on longer tours, it's good to know you will be getting done at a certain time.
And if your driving on an unpaved surface, following the car in front too closely means you are eating serious dust the whole drive.
A tight schedule and cars being spread out by a minute or two- at least from my perspective- makes a TSD rally more enjoyable for me than a follow the leader drive- even when I get picked to be leader.

Hey, if you don't care for the idea of trying to hit a target average speed, you might enjoy helping to write or work a TSD rally- you get to drive the roads- at your own pace, and still socialize with the crew, we can always use more workers!

Every great rally driver needs a skid plate. I'm so jealous.
I love the idea of a timed rally. But without a co-pilot it'll be difficult.
souldn't we be posting on the other thread. The one about next drive.
