CLEAR BLUE SKY ROADRALLY
AN AUTOMOBILE RALLY WITH A FLYING THEME
Lots of people who like cars also like airplanes. If you are one of those, don't miss
our next event, the Clear Blue Sky Rally. The run starts at Cavanaugh Flight
Museum in Addison, where a number of interesting planes are on view. Then,
leaving the Addison Airport area, we will travel the byroads of North Texas passing
a number of airfields, large and small. You will have some questions to answer
along the way. We will end at the Vintage Flying Museum at Meacham
International Airport in Fort Worth. Here you and your car will be photographed
in front of a WWII B-17 bomber, on the tarmac. You will have plenty of time to see
the other planes and attractions at the museum.
After a break for scoring and enjoying the museum, trophies will be awarded.
Registration opens: 9 am on Saturday, July 31, at the Cavanaugh Flight Museum, at
4572 Claire Chennault Drive, in Addison, TX 75001.

following. The first Car will leave the start at 10:31am
Lunch will be fast food en route, on your own.

Bump cause its not to late to pre register and the rally is saturday.

The rally was a lot of fun. It was a lot more in depth than I imagined but that just made it all the more fun. I got to see some roads both in and around dallas that I probably would have never known existed. Both the roads and the scenery were excellent and I can't wait to do another one.

At the finish line of the rally.



My dad was my navigator and he did a pretty good job. We learned a lot about this particular automotive pastime. I ended up placing pretty low based off answers to questions because a lot of the questions were purposely set up to be tricky in that the answer doesn't exsist because it wasn't in order or it was on the wrong side of the road (correct answer would have been to leave the question blank). Having no prior experience, we just answered all of the questions... As far as time goes, we made it within +/- 3 minutes of the alotted time (1.5hrs for first leg and 3hrs for second leg).

There were way to many things planned for this past weekend.

That finish-line shot is worth a lot and well worth the drive IMO. The Rallys have never really interested me, but maybe if we get a good sized group together to go to one it could be entertaining.

Yeah I know but I figured I would put this up to maybe get something going for future events...

The picture is the main reason I wanted to go but after doing the rally, the drive itself was worth the drive as well. lol!

And I was thinking that too. If enough of us went, it would be just as much fun, if not more, to compete against each other rather than worry about winning the overall event.

The next rally is September 11. I don't have any details on it yet but I also don't really plan on attending it. There is another one coming up in October that looks like fun and I will most likely go to that one.
