FUNKHANA

 Saturday April 26, 2008

Hosts: Kenny & Sandy H

 

The pictures pretty much tell the story of the April 26th Funkana. The weather was great and 13 cars began the game. Both driver and navigator took part in several driving events (backing in a parking spot, driving in a straight line and in a not so straight line).  It seems exiting the parking spot was more difficult than entering.  There was a little precision driving involved, if you consider driving in a circle precision driving.  The traffic cones that we used to define the course took a serious beating by the end of the afternoon.  There were athletic events, throwing washers in a rather large box, depositing 25 cents in a tin can (just try carrying a quarter between your knees and then dropping it accurately), and getting 2 water balloons from the navigator to the driver and the driver to the timing table without breaking them. There was a lot of cheering and laughing as some VVO club members were a little more coordinated than others.  The driver started and stopped the stopwatch and the times were tallied.

We then drove to our house and prizes were distributed; we had pizza, and a lot of talk about how moves could have been made differently to improve their times. Party got over around 9:30.  Many  asked for the Funkana to be an annual event.

Let the games begin...
