So our band of adventures head home and we discover Tink has a jealous side.  As for all the pieces of Mini Meet for the uninitiated (Like I was just a few short years ago)

Autocross–  Racing your car on a set up track.  Competing with similarly equipped/powered cars.  You race the clock.  The issue for those who are new is following the course.  It is usually laid out with cones and sometimes it can be difficult to figure out where you go.  The first time I tried autocross I missed the start of a slalom and ended up disqualifying on each run.  They finally told me that I had not recorded a time after all my runs for the day were done.

Funkhana–  Another race against the clock, but this time you have specific tasks to complete.  Usually this is goofy stuff and for fun. At Mini Meet 09 it was all based on the Italian Job with each stop a scene from the film.

Rally– Usually a drive with a specific goal.  Due to laws dealing with speed limits the winner is usually determined not by time, but by mileage and/or the accomplishment of a task (scavenger hunt).  The Funkhana and Rally usually require two people (driver & navigator).
