Winter Series Information
General Instructions
^ these are from '08 but should be mostly the same this year

The “time-speed-distance” concept is simple. You have a car and a team of two people. You get a set of instructions that tell you when to leave, where to go, and how fast to drive. Checkpoints are at unknown locations along the route. They know what time you should have arrived, you get points for being early or late. Lowest score wins. It’s not about being fast, it’s about being right. :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s hard to make it sound cool, but believe me, it can be very challenging. Most of the events take place on back roads in the hills around the Finger Lakes. Even when there’s not a foot of snow, it can be tough to maintain speeds on some backwoods dirt road where you can’t see the turns in front of you. :slight_smile:

Requirements are pretty straightforward; you need a car with a valid inspection sticker, insurance, drivers license. Snow tires are highly recommended, and you must have a tow rope and reflective triangle just in case. The navigator will want a watch, calculator, pencil and paper, flashlight.

If you have any questions, just ask! Hope to see you there.
