Super Sized Fall Rally

 

Complete results and report
by Carl Hastings

 

Saturday afternoon, the 8th of October, the sun was out and the wind was blowing so hard that you had to stand down wind to hear what someone was trying to tell you.  But we had 20 cars and 40 people show up for the Super Sized 2005 Fall Rally at the two start/finish points; one at the Red Rock Overlook and the other at the WalMart parking lot on Lake Mead Parkway in Henderson.  We had to use rocks and clocks and anything else we could get our hands on to hold down the registration papers, but we managed to complete the registration and drivers meeting and kick the first cars out at 1:01 PM. 

 

The Rally was set up as a loop around the Las Vegas valley.  It took the drivers past Bonnie Springs and Blue Diamond, east to Lake Las Vegas and then through a part of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, past Nellis Air Force Base, across the North Valley on the 215 Beltway, and out on Charleston to the Red Rock Overlook.  We are going to use this same concept for the Corvette Roulette Rally to give the out of town guests a feel for Las Vegas beyond the Strip.

 

This Rally marks the first time (to my knowledge) that a rally was run in a loop with the same start/stop location for each car and multiple start/stop locations along the loop.  We had 17 cars starting and finishing at the Red Rock Overlook location, and seven cars starting and finishing at the WalMart location.  (Well, only 16 cars finished at the Red Rock Overlook location.  See the next paragraph.)

 

One of the objectives of the Rally was to provide such clear instructions that nobody would get lost.  Well, we didn’t quite meet that objective in that one of the 20 cars got lost.  We will work to fix that for the next Rally even if we have to provide pictures.

 

Another objective of the Rally was to maximize the number of Rally awards so that at the Corvette Roulette Rally, all of the award winners will go home as enthusiastic ambassadors for next years Corvette Roulette.  We met this objective BIG TIME by having 30 awards given to 26 of the 40 participants.  The award winners are identified below.

I would like to acknowledge the hard work of all those helpers that made this Rally a success.  Art and Sharron Mikuta helped me establish the objectives and strategy for the Rally and lay out the initial Rally route.  Don and Kathy Gregori helped me refine and fine tune the Rally route and get the initial participant sign-ups.  Jim Ranney supervised the Red Rock Overlook start/stop location and helped with the final Rally route definition.  Jim and Debra Leatham supervised the WalMart start/stop location.  Larry and Irene Duis, and Ken and Michael Rees helped Jim Ranney work the Red Rock Overlook start/stop location.  And last, but not least, Judy Hastings patiently put up with all my Rally related time away from home and on the computer, and reviewed all the Rally related documents for errors and confusing statements.  My sincere thanks to all that were involved in this successful Rally.
