Jim Bishop reports...

On Saturday, November 8th, fall was definitely upon us. It was a sunny and brisk afternoon, but a hearty contingent pulled themselves away from raking, shopping, chores [or just lazing about] to find their way to Malt River Brewpub in Latham. Eleven cars started, eleven cars finished, and most seemed to be in reasonably good spirits at the end. Comments ranged from "speeds seemed perhaps a bit brisk in spots" to "it was kind of a shock to find out that we didn't have mileages given to us at every to turn" to "sure was dark out there". Participants were entertained for three-plus hours by some of Rennselaer County's challenging roads and some basic TSD problems, but no "traps" of the nature that would give lots of penalty points for a moment of error or complexity that causes headaches. It seems like maybe we should have a special trophy for the family with the most participants - thanks Harry! Thanks go to Eric, Chip and Arne for their help in putting on the event. Here's the scores.
