[Lapchik]

I have many many ideas. Want an easy theme, challenging theme, or a scavenger hunt?

There are two categories of finishers those that included the required proper documentation and those who did not submit the documentation but should be acknowledged for their efforts to visit 20 or more sites.

I apologize for the table formatting below. It looks good in the editing page.

I finished up the alphabet part in the beginning of August, and gathered up a few more tracks last week.

Finished up the 40th Anniversary early in the season.

Visited 141 race tracks for the Grand Tour one. Got rear ended coming back from NH in early October, which ended my pursuit for the season. Luckily the hit was not that bad, since we all were slowing down for another accident up ahead. Wasn't sure of the extent of the damage and didn't want to chance riding until the dealer took a look at my Spyder.

Glad you're OK, and hope your Spyder is, too.

For me, the object was to finish the GLMC and TeamStrange GT challenges while finding as much stuff as possible within a day ride of home, which led to more than several 350+ mile day rides with two 800+ mile over nighters thrown in.

I didn't have the luxury of being away from home any more than that.

I saved the low hanging fruit for last, so there were a couple of 150 mile days gathering up a few close-to-home bonuses for both GTs at the end.

You definitely kicked butt on both GTs. Glad you're okay, vehicles can always be repaired or if needed, replaced. People, not so much.

I thought living in central PA we had a lot of race tracks but I guess your area must be target rich as well. First day out on the Team Strange event I got 6 tracks all in less than one tank of fuel.

Did you not receive entries for Rider #521 and #120? I sent in our photos, this is the second year in a row I've sent them in and not been tallied. I will find the email and forward it.

Update: I just checked, there are 2 email addresses listed for the GT. The main page has glmcgrandtour@gmail.com, which is where I sent our entries.

9th and 16th place in the 2023 mural tour. Submission was 9/29/2023, the day before the event ended. I know I counted yours during that event, so I'm not sure what other year or GT you mean.

Reading comprehension:
https://glmc.org/2024-Grand-Tour-Rules.pdf

Photo Naming and Submissions
● Submissions must be emailed or uploaded no later than 11:59:59 PM CT September 30th, 2024.

○ email a achments to; glmc2024gt@gmail.com
○ Google drive and similar cloud hosting services. Send a link to: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1...wD6Tody0fn

I think I see the problem.

The official, all encompassing Grand Tour Rules state that the photos need to be sent to glmc2024gt@gmail.com, while the Grand Tour web-page on the GMLC home page you can contact the Rally Master on glmcgrandtour@gmail.com.

Chris and Leon,
I've decided to accept your submittal. The date stamps on the folders were acceptable and other than the email address you used you met the requirements. I believe it was an honest mistake since the "GLMCGrandTour" address was still listed on the GLMC website as a valid address. Below is an updated Finishers list.

Sorry about the formatting, someday I'll figure it out.

Chris is #8, Leon is #12
