If you have suggestion as to how to keep the speeds down I would certainly like to see it.

I really would like to keep this as a positive discussion.

We have everyone keep track of miles and time, so why don't we just put them in a spreadsheet that will automatically calculate the average speed between the two locations? Just a thought, and here is what I see wrong ( any idea is better than sitting around bitching about it).
1. This won't show if you went 100mph for a little while.
2. You could speed to the next location, wait, then leave when your time/distance comes out to something normal.
3. Would need extra scorers at the end of the rally for this, or we would have to change results after the rally if speeding was found.

Why it would work
1. People who drive consistently over the speed limit will get caught.
2. If you know you will be checked on, you will be less likely to speed.

We all follow the rules right? Check out #11 http://www.glmc.org/rally_rules.php

I would hate to see SPOTtracker become mandatory because of alleged or actual speeding, but that may need to happen to keep everyone honest. That's a cost that will chase away riders.

Rallies are for fun, right? Time to step back, calm down, and do this for a fun hobby instead of the personal stature.

Does anyone else have a suggestion?
