Sunscreen was the order of the day. I left home in a t-shirt, sweatshirt and light jacket and it was a little chilly, but not one cloud was in the sky. I met Larry (one of the few brave enough to spend a day in the Cobra) at the start of the Eureka Rally and we registered as car 6. This rally was a Santa Monica Sports Car Club event written by Jeanne English. Car 1 left at 10:01 and by the time we lined up behind a beautiful red Mini Cooper (you know, the car that can double as a coffee table) the temperature was up and we were down to t-shirts.
The instructions took us to the Antelope Valley where we found 9 checkpoints and scored well enough to take home the trophy for Touring Class. It was a very enjoyable rally that left us full of memories of mountains, cactus and perfectly paved roads. Come out and join us for the next one:

NOTE: The touring class has simple to follow instructions without all the tricky rules that make people feel frustrated. I highly recommend it.
