Yank the Weenie 2009 Results
Jerry White posted the results of the YTW rally:
Thanks to everyone to participated in the Yank The Weenie rally. It sure was a fun way to get to Dean Tanji's Bite The Weenie RTE at Pink's, Hollywood, CA. A brief overview: I selected a number of bonus locations from past rallies in the general vicinity of Pink's, and created a new rally. The "orgy factor" people have mentioned was a feature that multiplied points at a bonus if other rally riders were in the photo. It encouraged group riding and also gave some pleasant surprises when riders coincidentally arrived at the same bonus simultaneously. The top three teams plus one solo rider boosted each others' scores by arriving at the 500-point cigar store bonus at the same time. This nine-way bonus multiplier gave each rider 4500 points, the single richest bonus on the rally.Posted by bnc at November 24, 2009 3:28 PMRider Place Points Mileage
George Zelenz, 1, 20530, 444 (George rode the rally with another rider. They should have tied for first place. However that team member presented his scoresheet 15 minutes late and was therefore not considered a finisher.)Team Ogden (The only two-up team. They sped up bonus acquisition by having Tom take all the photos.)
