Jay Morris, owner of Ground Control (
http://www.ground-control.com/) in Shingle Springs had some outstanding questions that we would like to pass on to all;
• What kind of drive/rally is this?
Very casual and at your pace. We have 7 rally points to be hit within pretty liberal time frames. We also have numerous optional rally points to find inbetween our designated spots for bonus points. Then we added a good dash of "scavenger hunt" to take it up a notch.
• Is it perhaps a gimmick rally that my 3 boys might have fun participating
in?
Yes, the scavenger hunt list will be given to all registrants days in advance to begin the hunt at your pace. Many photo ops in addition to some door knocking, computer searching, and phone calls to get to the desired items. Kids would have a blast for a good portion of this leg work. During the rally, there will be riddles to get to "bonus" rally points that you will not be directed to by the volunteers. You can always "pay"/donate for the answer, but the fun for kids will be in the treasure hunt atmosphere.
• Is it a wine and cheese rally that my wife might like to go to?
My wife was instrumental in picking this winery. Great shopping, great food, incredible scenery, and great wine too. Anticipate scoring many many points with this one....points with the wife, and not for the rally.
• Is it a "Guys" rally that one of my friends might like to go to?
This whole event is a "guys" rally! Its cars, cars, cars everywhere! We have added the scavenger hunt, rally, wine, and food to encourage regular attendees to come as couples and families (hoping to attract even more attendees) while we give back to the community. For those that enjoy the EuroSunday events...this is the same deal, but dragging the community to us while we have fun!
Jay, thanks for the questions.
Thanks also for your continued support and suggestions.
