[RallySnake]

Message from Joe, the Rallymaster: Temps should be moderate, down 20 degrees from a few weeks ago. Gas prices are down. Price of 87 at the halfway break was 3.45/gal yesterday. WIDE variety of roads. Lots of long straights. Many roads largely deserted. Ridges, canyons, river roads, farmlands, BIG trees, a few miles through a redwood grove, spectacular views, a run along the stream of a mini-grand canyon with cliffs towering up right next to the road - making precise apexing critical. A really good, well-balanced, something-for-everyone rally. Last big rally of the year!
