sounds good to me!

We need to map at a start and finish, just in case some cars can't keep up(me), break down(me!)

and like lil' mike was saying earlier, end or start at the beach!
Let's try and make thistowards the end of oct. so katie can make it?

Am i scoring points baby

 

baby points? the beach sounds like a good ending point, since Mike mentioned the sunset shot! ;-) its cool, we have plenty of planning to do.

-maps are a check

-jumper cables check

-jack and stands check

-spare tires check

-tools check

anything else other than those items? like edible snacks or sumthin.... ideas ideas....!

 

we could easily set this into a road rally. like a twisty day, but more structured and geared towards a safer drive.

Mike

 

you can be my baby, if you want
i was talking about katie duuuuude

 

oh, ok. knowing is half the battle! YO JOE!

you can have all the baby points you wants... just not with me if you know what i mean!

I am also for a rally, but we need to have a formal sit down session to set one up. Maybe we can see what the turnout for a twisty day drive will be and then try to set up something with a little more brain usage. I do have that "Weekend Driver in San Diego" book that shows good drives and the key points of each drive. It's full of directions and tips and tells you if the roads are suitable for all cars, or just SUVs, or if the roads are not kid friendly or whatever.

I was trying to talk to Justin about a pic opportunity as well, but we would need to ask a couple higher ups if it was ok for us to go on their property. Down there on Cam. Ruiz in the dip going towards Miramar is that huge construction zone with the big ace gravel piles and junk. I personally think it would be awesome to take some shots in there if we could get the ok. Dunno.

 

i'll talk to my buddy. his car club (www.slocars.net) does road rallies all the time and he's usually the one setting 'em up. i'm sure he'll have some good pointers for us.

for those unfamiliar with a road rally concept, the idea is that you have a bunch of checkpoints that you "race" to. but, what keeps it safe is that it's not a "fastest time" thing. usually, the one running the event will determine a time they deem suitable to make the trip in a fun but safe pace. closest to that time wins the leg. usually, my buddy will set 'em up so it's more of a challenge of actually finding the place, almost to the point that a co-driver / navigator is very necessary!

OIC, thats what you mean by a "ROAD RALLY" this could get interesting!! hehe..... so that would mean less foci on the road if there were to be a co-driver/navigator??

 

Not necessarily. It would depend on who you wanted to be your navigator. If the navigator happened to be a fellow Focus owner, and they chose to navigate instead of participate, then yes, there would be one less Focus in the game.

It would have to be stressed that speed would not be an issue in this. I'd like it to be similar to the Jetfest one where it was miles on the odo, not speed based. But this wouldn't be a line of Focuses like what you may be wanting, as everyone could take their own unique path to get to the checkpoint.

 

i see where this is going. definately would be a great experience! should get Onstar before hand though!

 

http://carzero.freeservers.com/ here you can find info on TSD rallye and such. I'm up for it, but if it's at the end of the month I'm gonna be gone for a while. Anyway, a sit down session would be key for planning an event like this. I'm in

 

count me in, i always like to go up to julian... there are some nice pic spots.

 

Well looks like I'm out of the planning. Cause no one listens to me anyway. I'll be up for the rally though (probably).

 

so you're useless????^^^^

 

Apparently

WTF are you talking about? we'll all discuss this at the next Fudds. if you wanna be in on setting it up, by all means! i don't mind being the one who kinda puts all this together, but don't make it out like i just plan everything my way or the highway.


Mike

 

I didn't mean that in that way Mike. I just meant in general.

 

yeah. sorry. super-tired right now. little cranky.

Mike
