I'd like to organize the Olympus version of the 100AW regional 2WD prize fund described in
this thread.
Prizes (so far $814.20 pledged, thanks to derek bottles ($200), tabor rally team ($200), Integrated Electric ($100), john lane ($100), adame crane #742 ($74.20), safe drives ($50), me ($50), matt bushore ($20), and jim WASHPA ($20))

1st overall RWD: add a very nice
olympus event header and an amazing
vintage t-shirt (thanks adam!) + 1 olympus beer mug, 1 olympus shot glass and 2 olympus shirts (thanks kim!)
all 2WD entrants: a TwoWheelsDriven decal from All Wheels Driven and Barrett. i laughed at this decal at DooWops, your rally friends will too!
Lou Beck has pledged $50 for the 4th and 5th place finishers, to be divided up as he sees fit.
Gene "the machine" McCullough has pledged $100 to the 2WD winner of the very last stage and an aluminum co-driver footplate to whoever wants it. I'll use a TI-84 Silver Teacher's Edition Graphing Calculator to pick at random from the finishers (I wish I was joking). If they don't want it, I'll keep picking until someone does.
I think that covers all the prizes. Phew!
rules:
regional or dual entry competitors only. none of these hotshot national guys. only two wheels driven: front, back, side, i don't care. it is okay for doug and dan to switch sides of the car. all prizes are funded by donations from generous 2WD supporters. you must finish both days to be a contender and your place is judged on overall finish (total time of both days). prizes will be awarded somewhere near/on/in the awards ceremony.
i got $50 on it.
NEW INSTRUCTIONS! Bring your prizes to our service guys anytime from when we show up on Friday to when the rally is over. If you can't find them at service, bring the prizes to the awards ceremony and look for the short guy in the cheap blue driving suit and geeky glasses. Mailing is no longer recommended as it probably won't make it to me. Alternatively, bring your prizes to the Pioneer Motel on the 18th or 19th.
let all your Gp2 and Gp5 and 2WD P friends know. enter regional or you get nothing.
it's on.
Olympus 2008 regional 2WD challenge.

It does have a nice tow point on the back, perfect for hooking to tow ropes attached to beached VW's....
I think this is a great idea!
