Schedule of Events

Friday, June 12

The “Go with the Flow” Tour

The tour will depart from Gunther Toody’s in Littleton CO, our host restaurant.  Expect yet another spectacular drive of reasonable duration. You may wish to bring some paper and a pencil.  Instructions are given out between 7:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. at the departure point.  You may start the tour whenever you like; however, we recommend you depart no later than 9:00 a.m. so you’re sure to be back before the cutoff time of 4:00 p.m. As in the past, be sure to pay attention to everything along the way as successfully answering the lunacy-laced tie-breaker questions at the end may rely upon that particular skill.   

Tour Classes

You can only enter one class:
The MG class is for all MG vehicles driven on the tour. 
The Vintage class is for cars, including MGs, made before 1970. 
The Modern class is for all non-MG cars made from 1970 onwards. 
The First Timers’ class is, as you would expect, for teams running the tour for the first time. First, second, and third place awards will be presented for each class.

Friday Evening Social
Plans are being finalized for the Friday Social. Registration fee is ____ per person. Details TBD.

Saturday, June 13

Time-Speed-Distance Rallye

The Saturday Rallye Glenwood Springs departs from and returns to the Marriott Courtyard Hotel, our host hotel. 

Like last year, we are using a GPS-based smart phone app called Richta Competitor to score Friday’s rallye.  Richta Competitor is a free and easy to use app that is available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.  To get you familiar with how Competitor works, we will hold practice rallyes in the Denver and Longmont vicinities a week or so before the Rallye Glenwood Springs weekend.  Details of the practice rallyes will be announced later on.  Be sure to download the Richta Competitor app beforehand.

Registration opens at 7:00 a.m. Since we are using the Richta Competitor App, you do not have a set departure time; however, we request that everyone be on the road no later than 9:00 a.m.  The rallye is a traditional Time Speed Distance (TSD) event and is challenging and devious, but probably not diabolical.  We’ll see.  

As a reminder, time allowances are penalty free.  Rallyists will not have to deal with time allowance slips or explanations for the time allowance.  

Our Rallye Master has avoided hard-to-see signs and other annoyances to ensure a fun and challenging rallye experience.  An insurance waiver must be signed by both driver and navigator before departing.

As always, please bring a clipboard, pen/pencil and paper, stopwatch, and a well-read copy of the Rallye General Instructions. Also bring a charger for your smart phone that you can use in the car.  The GPS function uses more power than the phone alone.  One or more experienced rallyists will be available at the start location to answer questions and get you on your way.

All assigned speeds will be at or below posted speed limits. There will be breaks along the route, including a lunch break. If you need to take an unscheduled break, just keep track of your elapsed time and enter a time allowance on the Richta App.

“Rallye School” for first timers and those with questions will be held at some date prior to the event. Details TBA.
