Just curious, for you folks that are new to the Virtual Rally, what do you think so far?

Basil
 
This is great fun. Some skill, some luck.
How often do you hold rallies?

Thanks Basil for all of your efforts to get this game going.

Dan, you're doing very well for a first-timer! Keep an eye in your rear view for tn8wa - he's very good at this game too!

Basil, Great game, I'm having a lot of fun playing. Any possibility of a commercial product? Would be a small niche market though. Thanks for all the work putting this together

Glad you're enjoying it. I really hadn't thought of making it a "product" but rather a unique aspect of the BCF. Besides, by programming is much too "loose" to be a viable product.

Great game. One question for you. When you run into road work,as I have become great at doing, is the time shown the correct time for the speed entered or is it affected by the road work? Just want to know if I'm doing a that well calculating my route and speed.
 
I think the time you see is the time you actually would have based on your route and speed.
 
Dan.sorry but I hope you get one...on all 4... may the potholes be with you... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif
 
I am 3 for 7 with the Pot Hole Gang. Seems like they have fondness for my little red car.....
 
u guys are doing GREAT...I came in the first leg at the fastest time possible (said sheesshh this is easy)...looked at my score???...then did a guy thing...read the instructions.....(OH it's suppose to be as CLOSE as possible not as FAST as possible)!!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/nopity.gif

That is higher than the normal odds - maybe things will get better from here on. At least on the legs where nothing bad happened, you scored 9s and 10s - not too shabby. Dan is playing well, but hasn't had too many bad things happen.
 
yeaper, my goal is to always make the leader work for it! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbsup.gif

Don't slow down Dan, I might bump you into the wall...nothing like trading a little virtual paint. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
 
I was slow to get started, but I'm starting to get the hang of it. (I'm not last anymore!) I would love to play this with my students. I have to teach a unit on maps and map reading this month and this would be a great way to work with them on Road Maps.
I'm actually working on a paper and pencil version that they would play in groups! (I even plan to have little strips of paper to give them that say "Road Work" just like I seem to constantly be finding!)
Thanks Basil..I'll let you know how your creation translates to 13 years olds!
 
t8nwa...I just finally got the Hup honed in...but short of Dan hitting a wall...1st place may be pretty much history!!!

Anything could happen. The race is early for most. 29 days of racing left.

Geez Dan, another Good Samaritan for 11 points! And you haven't even had to make a bribe yet! Just don't look back cuz t8nwa isn't too far behind ya!
 
I must have done something wrong since I was DQ from the race. Ah well, I guess I will just wait for everyone to finish at the bar.

Single malt for me. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
