Gah, I'll be driving for about 8 hours tomorrow, no way to follow along. This really is epic stuff, I love the format. Incredible push to the finish.
Go Slippery Sam!British fans: The Triumph of John Young is among that lead group in the lower Mississippi/Louisiana area. The Yamaha Frazer of Phil Weston is back on the Florida mainland.
Here's something I wrote on that subject back on Day 2.Jeff - is Keywest plus a couple of big nut capitols doable in your estimation?
unfortunately, so does clients who miss appointmentsWorking from home sure has its benefits!Did everybody go back to work?
Touche, thanks for that. Meese has got his work cut out for him.Here's something I wrote on that subject back on Day 2.Jeff - is Keywest plus a couple of big nut capitols doable in your estimation?
Which leaves KW on leg 3, which I don't like. KW and San Ysidro on Leg
3 with only hitting the required states is an ok distance for the
available time. Adding Denver and SLC to that is still possible but
beyond current record pace. Adding Carson City puts the pace up into
the sketchy Hyder-on-Leg1 realm, but now it's leg 3 (problem here is
one needs to back track to get Arizona). Further addition of
Sacramento brings this leg average requirement up into crazy land when
one considers how slow it is getting in and out of Key West.
Also recall that Meese missed KS, MO, and KY on leg 1. He may have gotten KY on Leg 2 but the others remain unvisited.Touche, thanks for that.

Ken Meese would usually be smart enough to abandon the Four Corners and go get the high value State Houses. He has a shorter ride than jim Frens and has had more rest.Warchild - Is there any way we can get public spot views on Frens and Meese? If not can we get some periodic location updates on them? Clearly one of these two guys is going to win this thing.
It would seem from your previous comment that Austin, Denver, Carson City and Sacramento combined could be worth 5,000 to 6,000 points. This would suggest to me that Meese needs 4 corners and at least 2 of the big nut capitols to keep his lead over Frens.
If Meese abandons 4 corners I doubt he can keep his lead on Frens.
This is way cool. B)
Like Kyle Busch looking to the spectators for spotter help.If ya need this thread mucked up, jus lemme know.....I'd think they'd need rest more than trying to wade through the muddled mass in this thread!Some may be trying to glean what their fellow competitors are doing from all of our posts here....:lol: OMG we are watching the IBR participants some of whom are watching us!!!
I have high friends in places....
I wonder what the points for Santa Fe are..I just read they are closing up the labs in Los Alamos, which appears to be only 35 miles from Santa Fe. Anyone know how far spread these fires are and how it might effect the riders ?? NM stands right in the way of Arizona, unless they head north before the fire area. Any thoughts anyone ?

Jim has to add about 250 miles total to add San Ysidro, and get the 4800 points for the 4 corners, right? How many miles does Ken need to add to get KS, MO, and (maybe) KS? Add the 4C points, and Jim has an 850 point lead over Ken. I think Jim will pull it off.Ken Meese would usually be smart enough to abandon the Four Corners and go get the high value State Houses. He has a shorter ride than jim Frens and has had more rest.
If he went to Key West last night, and I don't know, then the balance might swing towards Jim Frens.
Ken has a 4000 point lead over Jim Frens, and he should be able to get 800+ points MORE than Jim on this Leg.
It's still Meese or Peeks to lose.
Jeff .... Do you know whether or not Meese and Peek abandoned the Four Corners, or did they go to Key West?I wonder what the points for Santa Fe are..I just read they are closing up the labs in Los Alamos, which appears to be only 35 miles from Santa Fe.

Getting the capital building in Santa Fe from I-25 should not pose any problems.
Riders that are thinking of heading north from there on US-285 will likely encounter delays. Riders heading to the 4-Corners area to pick up CO and UT would find dropping down I-25 to Bernalillo and US-550 a faster ride anyway. US-550 is four lanes wide for most, if not all, of its distance to Bloomfield.
(Note: I own property in Santa Fe, so I have some local knowledge)
I heard one rumor via another list that Meese went to KW on this leg, but nothing more than a rumor.Jeff ....

It seems to be working out very well balanced as a Rally.Jim has to add about 250 miles total to add San Ysidro, and get the 4800 points for the 4 corners, right? How many miles does Ken need to add to get KS, MO, and (maybe) KS? Add the 4C points, and Jim has an 850 point lead over Ken.

I'd say the IBA got this one just about right
