That is something I've been thinking about. The only thing is that it takes a big crew to do it properly.
They are a blast. Maybe we can set one up for the spring.
Next time you go to one let us know. Karoline and I are always up for a TSD. They are so much fun.

OK, for us Rally Newbies, I'm assuming that is Time-Speed-Distance...
So I assume you need to cover a certain distance in a period of time without getting a speeding ticket.
Like I did today...
Grrrrr...

Yes it is time speed distance, but you have to follow directions. You travel for x period of time at y speed and follow a set of directions and attempt to reach your destination in a pre-determined time. Goal is to be closest to the target time.
Fun stuff.
How much was the ticket for how fast?

The TSD I did never went above 40mph... It took us 3 hours to go 50 miles... it was great... Involved some dirt, some backroads... SOOO much fun...

Imagine it in a Z with blown out shocks lol. That's how we did the last one we did. I had a blast, but Karoline was a bit uncomfortable. Now we have new shocks so I'm ready to rock and roll on another one!

How much was the ticket for how fast? $160 for 81 in a 65. The ticket stated "estimated" and "lidar"... I guess it was an OK estimate concidering how fast I was going... My first one in MA was $150 for 84 in a 65. Guess I'll be gettin' one of those radar detector thingies soon...

Bob, how did you get a ticket in Tuesday's weather? Damn... These bad boys! They stick like friggin' glue! 50% better than the stock BFGs on dry pavement (took a turn yesterday I usually take at 35 with tire squeal, at 50 with just some sidewall flexing, NO SQUEAL!). 200% better than the stock BFGs on wet pavement (no hydroplaning at 95! Stock will hydroplane at 50). I am using cruise control more now that I have more traction. Don't need another speeding ticket this month...

Can I bump this up? I think this could be set-up as part of the Spring run (maybe?)
