can anyone do this (do you have to be a member of the association)?

Also can anyone explain the poker run to me? I have never done anything like that but it sounds fun

Anyone is welcome to attend in their Corvette!

For a Rallye you need both driver and a navigator. On the TORCA Website there are several guides listed on the left hand side that cover the basics of a Rallye. For the most part its clues and tips you have to find along a route. Quite fun!

A poker hand can be part of the rallye in which at check points you draw a poker card and at the end of all the check points you will have your hand to compete against others for prizes and such.

For more details it is best to contact the Chair off the flyer. I have only been to a few of these events. The last one I received a life ring award for being the most lost! Had a blast doing so!

Enjoy!

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Sunday (in costume

). Will be a great day to drive the Vette with the roof off..

Amanda*Rae · 10-19-2009, 10:51 AM

I had an Amazing time Sunday and would love to do it again sometime.

Too bad my camera was dead; Jennifer you will have to get on posting some pictures soon!!!

You guys costumes were awesome! Winner in my book!

Solo2GS · 10-19-2009, 10:56 AM

Can't vouch for car shows as I am anti-waxer myself. And if your a concourse type, yeah... we are worlds apart speaking two different languages!

I can say the rallye's and racing events are run by much more laid back folks along with the participants being much more laid back too...

If you enjoyed the rallye there are a couple more events that run through the end of the year posted on the regions website.

I'll likely have pictures posted on the club website once I get them! If you attended, feel free to e-mail me pictures.

jszpnby · 10-19-2009, 11:19 PM

Have to agree, that was a total blast.. You guys don't know what you missed. Great bunch of people at the event. Believe the total count was 37 entries.

They judged the costumes at the end, after lunch, but by that time we had taken our costumes off and they weren't coming back on...

I would like to think we would have taken 1st place...

Nobody could figure out who were were after we took our costumes off.
GOOD...
I would hope we don't really look like that

.

Now for some pictures.

First off, some of the Vettes..

Next we have some decorations for the Vette. We are writing the company that makes the
spiderwebs and letting them know that the webs stayed intact, even at high speed..

And finally the driver and navigator, and Bob (our burn victim) in the middle....

Yea, we did turn a few heads driving around but hopefully did not cause any accidents.

Awesome costumes!
