Ha! Sounds like my first rally experiences at about the same age, in my
buddy's Spitfire. Always lost, but having fun nonetheless. That's OK, it
was only 20 years later that we actually managed to bring home a trophy...
(Stop me if this is creeping fogeyism...)
Carry on!
Mason had this to say:
>I, like Larry went to the rally last sunday. It was some of the most
>fun me and my friend matt had ever had. i got a mild sunburn, and a
>mild carburator problem.
>
>Unfortunately, we came in dead last, with 3 answers, only 1 short of the
>coveted second-to-last spot. The thing that hurt us the most was when
>the rallymaster handed us the directions, he left out the sheet that
>explained the abbreviations on the directions. We quickly figured out
>"W" "rt" and "lt" but beyond that, we were lost. at one point during
>the rally, we shouted "What does SAP mean?" (straight as possible) to a
>lovely young copilot in a TR-6 (don't forget, we are an 18 and 17 year
>old...even rallys are dating pools ;)
>
>Overall, the time was great, and the location was beautiful. I was
>suprised that i was the only person there who had a daily driver. I was
>also suprised at the appearance of my fellow drivers. They all seemed
>to be at most 2 years older than me, even if they were actually 30 or
>more years older. The magic of the LBC i suppose. One bad part about
>the rally, other than the fact we were hopelessly lost the whole time is
>my copilot picked up a love for the triumphs....the opposite result i
>was hoping for. i suppose it was just the girl in the TR-6 though.....
>
>I can't wait for the next rally!! send me any info on any of them in the
>Southeastern PA, North Maryland, NJ area. they're a lot of fun.

Runs great,
looks particularly bad since some SUV clown backed into it.
If you're near Mountain View, CA,
it's the red one with the silver bootlid.
