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 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.
