Start Venue

We are still deciding the start venue. It will end at the Muddy Waters but we may start at the restaurant  across the street which does breakfast.
Registration starts at noon, first car out at 1PM

2012 Course Done

With the busy winter season upon us we went out to finish of the course yesterday. The event will be an SCCA GTA very similar to MMW 1 & 2. We are starting in Prescott and ending at the Muddy Waters. A few new twists and I think a little easier. Now I have to figure out how to promote this event. Looking for people that like to go for a Sunday drive and solve some puzzles along the way while driving on the areas curviest roads.

Possible Format Change

This year I'm looking at a more straight forward plotting format that will be easier but still fun. Contestants will get a map with a number of "points" on it. For each point there is a tulip indicating direction of entry and exit from the intersection (point). Contestants then plot the shortest distance between points that meet the entry and exit criteria.
I'm still deciding how to time and score but am leaning toward a form of jogularity on a separate timing schedule. Navigators will be busy following maps so calculating would be difficult for all but the most proficient or those with computers. The jogularity takes care of that and allows me to use experience rather than equipment for classification.

Course Started

I think I'm going to try doing the event on Sunday this year as people seem very busy on Saturday's. So Sunday March 25th. Will use very similar if not same regulations as last year with the addition of a tour class for those that just want to go out for a drive. For them timing will be to the second with the true time specified in the instructions, that is, a Monte. For the rest of you I'm still deciding plot and bash vs pre-plot. For pre-plot you would all plot the course at the beginning and then go out and run it using the course you plotted on the map.
Registration is tentatively 11AM on the 25th with first car out at 1PM. If pre-plot then 12-1PM would be your plotting time.
The other change is this year we go back to being an SCCA event so I have to decide what SCCA type(s) to sanction the event as.

2012 Muddy Waters

With the Yucatan just about wrapped up (still doing paperwork) it's time to start looking at putting together the course for the Muddy Waters. It will be a Plot and Bash similar to the first two MMWs with some new twists. It will likely start and and at the MuddyWaters Pub in Prescott, WI. Tentative date is March 24th or 25th depending on conflicts with other area events.

Stay tuned for more information.
