April Fool’s Rally 2006

 

Vegasvettes.com Article

 

Sunday afternoon, the 2nd of April, the sun was out and the weather was perfect for a corvette run.  We had 23 cars and 46 people show up for the April Fool’s Rally 2006 at the two start/finish points; one at the Canarelli JHS parking lot, and the other at the Brown JHS parking lot.  We managed to complete the registration and drivers meeting and kick the first cars out at 1:00 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 Henderson, north past Nellis Air Force Base, west across the North Valley on the 215 Beltway, and out on Charleston past Red Rock.  We are going to use this same concept, but will include Lake Las Vegas and the Lake Mead Recreational Area, for the Corvette Roulette Rally to give the out of town guests a feel for Las Vegas beyond the Strip.

 

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 23 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 33 awards given to 20 of the 46 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 Rally route, get participant signups, and train the rally workers.  Sugar Springer and Jim Ranney supervised each of the two start/stop locations.  Jim and Linda Parker helped Jim Ranney work the Brown JHS start/stop location, and Bob Blackman and Steve Nichols helped Sugar Springer work the Canarelli JHS 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.
