Alright, so for people wanting to do the rally I've got:
Lord ET (adam) YES
Seatownracer (Stephen) YES
Hyatox8 (Pete) YES

Riley Craven (Thomas) MAYBE
Str8cold (Brian) MAYBE
Learjet_Pilot (Ed) MAYBE

So it looks like there are 2 possible teams. So now we just need to come up with team names. Let's hear them...

My wife is pretty much always my navigator, she not bad at it either.

So that leads me to the next stage.

Step 1. Convince wife to let me do a road rally (money)
Step 2. Convince wife to be navigator for said road rally
Step 3. Convnce wife that getting up early on a Sat wont suck for said rally

If I get through all three steps I should be there in my 8, If not anyone need a navigator...?

So wow, I severly over estimated the difficulty it would take to convince my wife all three steps, in fact, she seems to be showing more enthusiam for the event than myself lol.

So do we wait to register when we know who we will be teamed up with or do we register and decide all that later?

Anyone need a navigator? I would be down to ride shotgun with somebody.

I have a little experience (1 road rally) to contribute what tips and tricks I have learned thus far. I also have a portable GPS, it really helped us out last time to see what roads are coming up.

Edit: I found a seat...

We also need a second name... maybe even a third. Teams are three cars, so we def need at least 2 names considering we have enough for two teams so right now it looks like 2 teams of 2 with possible a couple more.

List right now is:

Lord ET (adam) YES
Seatownracer (Stephen) YES
Hyatox8 (Pete) YES
Riley Craven (Thomas) YES

Str8cold (Brian) MAYBE
Learjet_Pilot (Ed) MAYBE
xsnipersgox MAYBE
arlingtonrx8 MAYBE
Hayato MAYBE (NAVI)

ok, so as far as teams go... I'm sure it doesn't matter who's on who's team. The rules for teams is that there can be 3, only 3 cars per team. not 2 not 4, but 3. If there are more cars then, they can just tag along 'the odd man out'

Right now we have enough for 1 1/3 teams as for sures.

xsnipersgox and arlingtonrx8 aren't going to be able to make it, both of them are having issues with their cars. That leaves us with:

Lord ET
Seatownracer
Hyatox8
Riley Craven

Str8cold (maybe)
Learjet_Pilot (maybe)
Hayato MAYBE (NAVI)

I'm fine with Project W. So what we need to decide, assuming there is going to be an odd-man out is who it's going to be. We don't all have to stick together and go the same speed, if some people are feeling more ballsy than the others that's fine. Sascha was saying that the Lotus team that won last year didn't finish together at all. It all comes down to solving the riddles I suppose, and if you can do it while speeding along, kudos.

When you register you will be asked for you name, navigator's name, car make/model/year/color, and you'll be asked for a team name. So that's where we enter that. If we decide to change names or teams I'm sure we could do it up until 9:29am of May 3 since they have registration there too. I will probably register tomorrow (Thursday) Just because I will be bored at work.
That's all I've got.

Adam

Yeah, you can register online, but I think we should figure out who's going to be on team 1. and who's going to be on team two.

Guess I'm looking for a partner then. You guys are going down, it's become personal I'm betting it'll be me and Brian (Uncivilizedracer) but he's in Hawaii so I'll have to get back to you guys in a few days. VR's ftw!

Note: I am not complaining :P

Nope, I'm good, more fun with more competition...especially with the two first place winners from last time in separate cars. Haha, let's do this!
