2013 Heart of Texas
April 27, 2013
The 2013 Heart of Texas
Rally (HOT) is accepting application from motorcyclists who love to spend a day
traveling the highways and byways of Texas.
To best describe the Heart
of Texas Rally, it is a simple scavenger hunt for the motorcycle enthusiast.
Starting anywhere within the Lone Star State, riders will have twelve
hours to route themselves to the finish at the Holiday Inn, 2320 South Bridge in
Brady, TX. The main objective of the HOT
rally is for cyclist to collect bonus points along the way. All proceeds after administrative fees are
donated to CASA Child Care of Brady, TX.
The
Start:
At 0600 Central Standard
Time on April 27, 2013, a rider will need to obtain a computer generated
receipt with the correct date, time, and location from anywhere within the state
of Texas. This is required in order to verify start time. It is very
important to acquire this receipt as described and turn it in with the rally
envelope at the end of the Rally. It is up to the rider to make sure all the
proper information is printed as described. Showing up at the finish without
this receipt or with the incorrect information printed on the receipt will cost
the rider all of their points.
A rider must acquire a start receipt
before collecting any bonus points.
Gathering
Bonuses:
On April 24, 2013, the HOT
Rally Bonus Point List will be released. The Bonus Point List will include the
name, a brief description, abbreviated directions, collection requirements and
a GPS coordinate for each bonus location. Some Bonus Point collection
requirements can include a necessary photograph, a receipt, or an answer to a
simple question. Bonus photographs shall be taken by a digital camera
with a removable memory card. Please
ensure only the required photographs are saved on the memory card.
Once the required start
receipt has been obtained, a rider can begin to collect bonus points across the
state of Texas and make their way to Brady, TX.
Each rider has 12 hours to complete this task and not a second
more! When arriving at Brady, TX, it is
necessary to first check in with the Rally Master and staff by 1800 hours at
the host hotel, the Holiday Inn Express, 2320 South Bridge St., the rallies
final destination. All cyclists then
have until 1830 hours to turn in their camera memory card, all required
receipts, and other bonus requirements. If a rider arrives a second past 1830,
they will be considered Did Not Finish (DNF).
New for 2013 is a unique
bonus that will be available to paid participants of the HOT Rally. This unique bonus can be collected from
February 23 to April 14th. This unique
bonus can help a rider’s Heart of Texas Rally Bonus Points end total.
