NCCC RAYLE: The
"Tricky Dicky" Rallye was hosted by NCCC's president
Dick Yanko. The intent of hte Rallye was to give
you a sampling of the Nashville sights and countryside.
The word "fun" was not used when they described this
Rallye but the entire Rallye remained in the State of
Tennessee.
The Rallye was
sponsored by:

We awoke
to a breezy and very overcast day, with a high
prediction of rain in the forecast. |
|
We passed the Day Pass
booth and yep, more folks were buying them |
|
|
|
|
|
|
As we walked out to the
Driver's Meeting area, we noticed this was a heavy fog
day with very thick air, as you can imagine. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dick Yanko held the
Driver's Meeting at 8am, out in the parking lot.
133 entries were signed up for the Convention Rallye. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Being
"novice" rallyers (our 1st Convention Rallye), we
noticed some of the more serious participants around us. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Joan & Martin were 'teching"
Vettes that hadn't gone thru the Competition tech" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dick was
sending them out now - the rallye has started |
John
talking on the phone - he was a busy man this week and
did an awesome job!!! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Rallye waiting line
was very long and wrapped thru several aisles of the
parking log |
|
|
|
|
|
|
More rallyers heading out |
|
|
|
|
|
more Vettes being 'teched' |
|
off goes
another |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
then the light rain
started, the paperwork was moved under the security
awning |
|
|
|
|
|
|
the light rain turned into
a real down pour |
|
due to the lines and rain,
we decided to go grab some breakfast, then headed back
to the room for a few minutes |
|
|
|
|
the rain let up a some and
we decided to join the Rallye, with a 10:45am departure
time. one of the last to leave. |
|
Then we
started meeting Vettes; later we found out there were
two routes (primarily due to volume of entries) but both
had the same questions |
|
|
|
|
|
Just a few of the sights
on the Rallye |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a few of
the downtown Nashville church steeples |
...and
downtown Nashville where several answers were found |
|
|
|
|
|
We completed the Rallye in
a little over 3 hours, turning in the paperwork at
2:10pm, at which time you were handed a sheet of
questions to fill out - a tie-breaker sheet
This was a challenging
Rallye - check out our result on Friday's page |
