Responde de Quaestion #1 - Post Event
by Marcy Hotz
On this weather-perfect day, we assembled at the Kwik Trip in Belgium, WI. This was to be a "Gimmick" ride, something this club rarely sees. The only thing close to it in recent years was the
Schmidt's Photo Challenge in Door County.
At the drivers' meeting, we received instructions about driving safety and a detailed description of the Millhome Supper Club in Kiel, and other
Wisconsin supper clubs. Don and Linda McCann, our hosts, are big fans. In fact, this route was created with the supper club in mind!
At the start, each numbered car was given a map and a sheet of 83 questions compiled by Don and Linda. Cars were sent off one minute apart in search of the answers. No internet allowed;
you could not compare answers with other drivers. Anyone caught cheating, it was cautioned, would have their Miata auctioned off at dinner, and the money put into a special BMC fund for the
35th Anniversary Event.
For example, a few questions were "Cedar Valley ____ " "CITGO Live Bait & ____ " "Color of flag on left side of road? " "What building is 1858 on? "
and the hardest one at the end, "How many Brian Hilbelink signs did you pass on this event? <10>"
