    I’ve been reading up on full scale rally preparation.  Real rallies seem to have a recon guided tour a day or two before the rally at less than full speed.

    The Targa Florio has used many different routes, but always published the route early and the teams traditionally drove a road car, or put a license plate on their race car, and  drove the course in traffic during the week before the race.  Recent courses have been short enough that cars did 11 laps and did not use a navigator.  They did often change drivers and have a pit stop.

    Running our Targa Florio race I suggest we start having practice on Thursdays and Saturdays plus Sundays if it is tolerated by Kings.  We should do some scheduling, like us golfers do with tee times, so that members can be assigned an hour (?) with one or two others to practice.  No mandatory marshaling.  Some members may want to run more laps than others, but everyone should keep an open mind to letting the others assigned the time to get equal time on the track.

    I believe many members will be testing more than one brand of car or more than one car of the same brand.  Full size teams would really put that kind of effort in.  We should go ahead and allow plenty of practice.
