One thing to check in event planning
Hi Jim
One thing to check in planning the event, the community paving schedule, don't laugh I've encountered this problem of friesh asphalt and military vehicle.
When I was a kid living in Washington, DC the city repaved South Capital Street just before Arm Forices Day, you guess it the Army drove a colum of M60 Tanks down the street the pavement came of the road in ribbons behide the tracks. As a kid it was great fun to watch, after the colum had passed the road was a wreck. Next day I got to watch the Corps of Engineer show up strip the road of all the new asphalt and repave the road.
The other time the paving of highways has gotten into a military vehicle event is that the timing for repaving the highways around our Weare Rally always seem to coencied and if you drive a 3-ton CMP and particularly if you make sharp turns leaves imprints of the tread. No body has ever complained.
Cheers Phil
