You have to stop???

I did North Rim and back again in one day from Tucson a few months ago. Yes it can be done. No, no relief driver. 8 hours up and 8 hours back.

When is it?

LOL but jason can post the aka rally? since when did everything posted here have to do with NASA AZ?

This event is geared toward family fun, not racing...that's why they have the rule of "get a ticket, get dq'd".

Looks like a good time to me.

I am planning on doing this, co-driving with Dan Marino. Ace is letting me borrow the Buick, but I have to get the windshield replaced first as per the CCRs.
