Gimmick Rally Workshop<br />
by Teri Davis<br />
We’ll launch this year’s<br />
rally activities with a rally<br />
workshop and some minirallies.<br />
This year, I plan to reintroduce<br />
the fun of gimmick<br />
rallies.<br />
Class begins promptly at<br />
8:00 a.m. on the 7th floor of<br />
the Speedway Club at Texas Motor Speedway so plan to arrive a few<br />
minutes earlier. A continental breakfast will be provided so you can<br />
fill your tummy while you read your workshop materials, including<br />
a set of simple rules that can be used for all rallies this year.<br />
We’ll spend part of the morning classroom time talking about<br />
basic rally concepts that are useful in all types of rallies. Afterward<br />
we’ll get in our cars for an exercise in doing an odometer check.<br />
Then we’ll let the hair down and just have some fun with a Hare’n<br />
Hound rally that will end in an area where you can choose a restaurant<br />
and have some lunch.<br />
After lunch, you will experience a tulip rally that takes you back to<br />
the classroom where you will then participate in designing and proofing<br />
a rally. After the final exercise, we’ll have a simple rally to dinner.<br />
Dinner will be at the Prairie House Restaurant on Hwy 377 in<br />
Roanoke, where rally workers and other members of Maverick Region<br />
will join the Rally Workshop attendees. The cost for dinner will be<br />
$15 per person and includes a choice of menu items (see the ad for<br />
the Dinner Social)<br />
Cost for the school will be $30 per person, which includes<br />
breakfast and materials. All you need to bring is a wristwatch, a<br />
simple calculator (unless you’re good at doing arithmetic in your<br />
head), and a full tank of gas. If you’re coming solo, we’ll match you<br />
up with a partner.<br />
Please make your reservations on or before Wednesday,<br />
<strong>January</strong> 17. I’ll need a little time to make final preparations. Call me<br />
at 940-682-4719 or send an email to chuxter@rennlist.com.<br />
We have several dates penciled in on the 200l calendar for<br />
gimmick rallies. I hope you’ll be joining us for some fun road time<br />
throughout the year, starting with the Gimmick Rally Workshop.<br />
