How many points are required to achieve finisher status?

 

[Warchild]

I am looking in to getting individual bonus point assignments. No promises yet.... but I have an inquiry for it.

<br />

Wouldn't THAT be interesting! But no, 99.999% sure the other interpretation is correct. There are "arrival points" each leg. It was stated somewhere that it was 20 pts a minute. Maybe Harrison's daily report.</p></blockquote>

I think it was 10/minute for the CPs in Allen. I know it was 20/minute at the finish.

Hey Dale, How about trying to get the GPX file so we don't have to plug in all the coordinates.

Thanks,

Picture of the Newfoundland 5 I received in the past several hours. Wondeful picture of some talent, determination, and facial growth.

Subjective to the eye of the beholder, but who looks the least tired?

My new "Roadside America" travel book! I would almost kill to have a set of way points for each of these to drop in my GPS to use traveling instead of having enter them manually.

I would like to know how many miles Wendy has on her bike. It's gotta be up there.

Dave, I believe Wendy had 150k in the middle of the 13 IBR. I flipped 150k at the end of the same rally. Mine sits with 262k and has been out for over a year, with her time off, I would imagine hers is near there. I will ask her tonight if I get the chance.

They are given a spreadsheet with all the coordinates, right?

Hey Dale, How about trying to get the GPX file so we don't have to plug in all the coordinates.

.. or is it a GPX?

Regardless, the rally book pdf permits copying of the contents, so it would be fairly simple to extract that data using a script..
