Mini-Rally at the SRR

Dial up? At work? Where do you work, 1997?

That was awesome.

"Bonii" is plural for "bonus" as in the "bonus point locations" in the context of a rally. So instead of saying "bonusesses" we say "bonii". It's one of the many things that make us marginally cooler than normal people.

I know Jim... you think it makes us look A LOT cooler than normal people, but we're just being realists.

In agreement with Pam and Nancy... forget about GPS vs. no GPS.

Who wants to help and who wants to ride the rally? These are two distinct groups.

Put me on the list to help.

Not to be too much of a Rally Bastard but since this looks like it could happen, any conversations and ideas between the people setting this up CAN NOT be in this forum. Sorry, riders... it's a secret.

So are you implying that we are 'Abby Normal'?

I looked her up and down, and she caught me giving her the Bone Eye...

You're right man - I'd like to be a rider, so y'all helpers quit muckin' up our thread with your plans

Rider here too.

I'm sure that the several rally veterans here can easily come up with their plans....

That part I knew. I guess I should have asked what do you get bonuses for?

[Dough Boy]

Working hard, hitting your profit goal. Stuff like that.

You obviously(SP?) don't work for da gub.

Hmm ... rider here as well. I wouldn't be a very good planner having never done a rally anyway

Look at this web page: http://www.capefear1000.com/rules.htm and scroll down to Section IV Bonus Hunting.

It doesn't explain exactly what a Bonus is, but by reading through that section you get a pretty good idea.

Think of the Rally as a route with start/fin and a couple/few checkpoints. Those are the points you have to hit to "complete" the Rally, and you get x amount of points for hitting them on time and in the right order. Just by finishing the rally you get a certain amount of points.

Add in extra (koff - BONUS) point-gathering opportunities along the way, between the checkpoints and now you've got the bigger picture of what this kind of Rally is about. By finishing the rally and fulfilling the requirements of the bonii, you get more points - and the rider with the most points wins.

They also often have ANTI-BONII such as getting pulled over (you seal your driver's license in an envelope before you leave - if you have to produce your DL you LOSE y points) and missing a time deadline for a checkpoint or the finish line.

I may be the first person to use the term "anti-bonii" and if so, I hereby claim ownership forthwith
