November 10-11, 2001 Mini-Rally Route and Schedule
are set
Vicki and I spent the weekend completing the
route planning for the November 10th Mini-Rally.
We are pleased with the results. The course
will offer a route of progressive difficulty,
beginning with the usual odo check and an opportunity
to work with straight-forward route instructions.
As the Rally moves forward, we will include
a variety of challenges including traps for the
unwary. We have found some delightful roads with
good speeds and plenty of twisties. A 1-mile
stretch of packed-gravel will be included as a
free-zone. The November colors should be
beautiful in the Fraiser Valley. I hope
you can join us.
The Schedule is as follows:
1:00 pm - Rally orientation - Aldergrove Country
Meadows Best Western
1:30 pm - First car out
4:30 pm - Rally concludes
5:30-6:30 pm - Cocktails - Aldergrove Country

breakfast at the Aldergrove Country Meadows Best
Western and first car out at 9:00 am. An awards
brunch follows the Poppy Rally. Additional
details on the rallies are below.
November 10-11, 2001 Mini-Rally heads for
British Columbia
On Saturday, November 10, 2001, a one-day mini-rally
will be presented in British Columbia's Fraser
Valley followed by an awards buffet. Presented
by the BMW Seattle Classic Motor Rally organizers,
the Fall Mini-Rally is designed to encourage new
rally teams to experience TSD rallying and provided
regular participants in the BMW Seattle Classic
Motor Rally with an opportunity to improve their
rally skills. This also proves to be a great opportunity
to introduce a new navigator or driver to vintage
rallying.
The rally will begin Saturday afternoon
and last three hours in duration, to be followed
by cocktails and an awards buffet. A 30-minute
rally orientation will be provided prior to the
start. Teams will assemble in Aldergrove, British
Columbia at the Aldergrove Country Meadows Best
Western for the orientation and start. Participating
teams are allowed to bring sporting motorcars
of any vintage due to the possibility of wet weather,
however, in 2000 the weather proved excellent.
Vintage rally rules will apply. For a list

Participating teams will receive a
commemorative rally plate for the event and awards
for the top-ten positions will be presented. A
dinner buffet will follow the rally. The cost
per team for the Mini-Rally and buffet will be
$85. The Rally concludes back at the Aldergrove
Best Western with many participants staying on
for the Poppy Rally on Sunday.
All proceeds from the Mini-Rally will again benefit
the nonprofit College Planning Network, a Pacific
Northwest charity, assisting individuals seeking
higher education opportunities.http://www.collegeplan.org |
