The issue of team riding and lack of enough two up riders to make that class competitive is why we are giving this a try. These had been issues long before we were lucky enough for you to come participate and I am proud of a group willing to try something new and see how it goes.

No doubt that I will be back along with Chris. Doug and Eric haven't committed yet. But I know I have sold the rally to at least 2-3 people and maybe as many as 5 new people.

We don't plan on running as a large group, we are looking at options of running solo or if someone doesn't own a GPS running as a team.

I don't have a problem with the new rule, my original post was me poking at my silly group more than anything and having an understanding of the rule.
We are mere guests in your world, what you say goes. I think my biggest question would be the signing up as solo and then changing to a team?

We have done a 4 man team and a 2 man team and I can tell you that there is nothing fast or easy (especially when one of us doesn't get more than 80 miles to a tank) about running in a group. Overall it is fun to be with friends and family but there were times during the ride that you would rather be alone. Bickering, disagreeing, and complaining come along with riding as a team. I am sure we would be much faster solo but we didn't enter the rally with winning in mind, we were joking about coming in last the entire time. We came to the rally for something fun to do.
