PCA CHESAPEAKE CHALLENGE 52 Gimmick Rally, Mt. Airy, MD -- Oct. 23, 2021

The month of October 2021 was move-out time from our old house and move-in time to our newly built home. Tied up with so much to do on the domestic front, and with my fellow tour & rally co-chair Randy M out of state, I sought the help of Ron F and Steve G in devising a Gimmick Rally for this year’s Chesapeake Challenge. They readily and kindly agreed.

Ron came up with a wonderful route around Frederick County in Maryland, while Steve concocted some neat and entertaining gimmicks. The result was a delightful driving and competitive experience for the 20 pairs of people who took part.

As I’ve done for several years, I will name here only the top 10 teams that completed the rally. There is no point in embarrassing the others who didn’t do as well. The perfect score was zero. The winning duo came close, with a 2.

(1) Manny A and Bob G -- 2; (2) Jerry W and Eli N -- 9; (3) Josh F and Navya B -- 14; (4) Andy and Kim P -- 15 (Three 4's ace high); (5) Craig and Linda D -- 16 (Tie broken by mileage); (6) Chuck and Sheron M -- 16 (Tie broken by mileage); (7) Bob and Kim W -- 19; (8) Bert R III and Bert R IV -- 23 (Tie broken by mileage); (9) Steve and Marsha B -- 23 (Tie broken by mileage); (10) James B III and Ken W -- 23 (Tie broken by mileage)
