We had RACECAR2010, now it is time for a Travel Bug Race! When you register for this event, please indicate how many Travel Bugs you will be entering. It is not mandatory for you to take part in the race in order to attend the event.

Start Your Engines 2013 is a race for trackables, open to all geocachers. Points will be given for meeting goals and completing tasks. The race will be one year long ending at Living Skies 2014 event with points tallied at the end of each month. Prizes will be given for the following:

• TB with the most points
• TB placed in the most caches
• TB with the greatest mileage

The race will start with this event and we will be collecting a $2.00 per trackable entry fee to cover the cost of prizes. Due to the fact that geocoins are more likely to go missing, we will NOT allow geocoins in this race, just trackable tags. All trackables entered into the race must be new trackables: therefore will start with a zero balance. All trackables entered into the race must be new activations and its first drop MUST be this event. If you want to enter the race and cannot be at the event, you may send your entry with another geocacher. There is no limit of number of trackables per geocacher. To give everyone a 50 point start, Navyguider will take them all to Gold Country 2013 WestCan3 event.

There are two ways to enter the race:

1. Activate your trackable at home or at this event
2. Attach your trackable to a traveler/hitchhiker if you wish.

All trackables will be taken to WestCan3 held in Merritt BC on 29 June 2013. This means that all trackables will be starting at the same time from the same place giving each one a fair and equal start. Starting at this event will also help spread the word of LivingSkies 2014, our geocaching event in Rosthern on 19 July 2014.

The end of the race will not be determined by a finish line, but rather a finish date of July 19, 2014, 12:00 noon local time. At this time, all points will be tallied and double checked and a winner will be announced at an event on 20 July 2014.

1. Dipping/visiting is not allowed. However, we cannot stop this from happening. Therefore, dipping gets 0 points. If a dip occurs, any points earned from the dip will not be tallied, including pictures, crossing borders, etc. In some cases, this has resulted in serious point losses. All trackables will have an attached tag that states the No Dipping/Visiting rule.
2. Contestants in the challenge are forbidden from handling any racing trackable. This is done to prevent people from cheating by intentionally moving other entries to hinder their travels. All trackables will have an attached mission card stating that they are in the Start Your Engines 2013 race.
3. Contestants are encouraged to follow their trackable movements. Each month, the race standings will be updated with the scores for all entries. If you feel that your entry’s score is incorrect or you feel that we have miscalculated, please contact Navyguider for assistance along with details.
4. There is an inherent risk in releasing any trackable that it may go missing or be stalled. For this reason you are encouraged to keep on top of your trackables movements to prevent this from happening. If your trackable does go missing, your points accumulated to that point will be used in the final standings.
5. All contestants must start in this event
6. When a TB is placed in a cache or event, it must be retrieved by a different cacher.
7. It may cross the same border as many times as it wants and earn points.
