Topic: General schedule for Friday

We have to rush back toward the east coast as soon as this is over Friday (scheduled to be in central MO by 11am Monday).  Does Friday tend to run along the lines of 'run the route, check in and that's it'?  I know the concour has room for us, but I don't think doing that's going to be in the cards this time.  Mainly wondering if the Friday night lodging near Monterey is required or if we can press on and get something along the way home after a few more hours of driving.

I think you are allowed to do whatever you want.

The fun little awards ceremony happens at the concours.

It's not like we're going to win - I'm bringing a rental car.  LOL.  I just want to be sure that I actually finish the rally.

Re: General schedule for Friday

I think there were some points awarded at the concours last year, something about someone touching someones butt?

Get as much fun as you can, then head home. Don't worry too much about it. I'm more worried about getting to the start, actually.

That's how it worked last year. There is absolutely no reason to think that the evening later degenerated into parking lot brawls with vacationing senior citizens and handing out flats of eggs to random teenagers. No reason whatsoever.

The points were for getting a photo of either Alan Galbraith (who runs the concours), Wayne Carini (who was a guest judge), or Jay Lamm (who is some random guy) with their butt on your rally vehicle. The secret of success was to realize that Alan will do pretty much anything for the camera.
