Rules? We don't need no stinkin' rules!

damn it. yeah - there are rules... i'll keep it brief;

• average 61 mph, coast-to-coast.
• average 61 mph for each day's race.
• average 61 mph for each checkpoint within each day.
• presumably get penalized for each minute you're late to each checkpoint and/or finish line.
• presumably get penalized double for each minute you're early.
• no announcement of the next checkpoint's location and route until the moment you're ready to leave. (we are willing to cheat so if someone can leak something to me - go for it.)

apparently everything else is fair game but i'm not really sure how willing my father is to go in order to ensure victory. (images of ben hur are flooding my mind - by the way, in the chilling chariot scene, charleton "from my cold dead hands" heston can be seen wearing a watch.)
