Here's my thought.... Phil has all the teams at the Start Line, maybe there's a river or lake behind them with the reflection of the moon or a city scape? :lol:
Anyway, Phil says Go, and the teams run for their bags, with fireworks going off behind them, maybe at the far side of the river. (Again, something different that would look cool) :colors
To benefit a Night start line, there could be an ARI, NOT a Start Line Task, but more like the one in TAR Aus 2, then after that, they head off to the airport.

:hrt: :hrt: :hrt: I would definitely love to see this! :hearts: :hearts: :hearts:
About the ARI, is it like the one from TAR20?

No, I wasn't thinking of the TAR 20 because I see this as a "Start Line" task rather then a Route Info.
I'd consider an ARI as something that involves the teams having to leave the start line and go to an entirely different location, such as the one in TAR Aus 2 (which I loved) or in TAR Canada, when they went to the Butterfly Conservatory. Even though I don't see this that difficult, it was still nice to see teams go somewhere prior to the airport.
As for the task itself, I haven't come up with anything, but something that can only be done at night would be preferable. :lol:
So yea, that's what I'm thinking. :ya3:

After seeing the awesome Running with the Bulls detour, it had me wishing for teams being able to square off against each other in something like that. Maybe that specific task would give too much advantage to male players, but I'd love to see some form of combat involving teams going head to head.
The other change that needs to happen is there needs to be a team from Hawaii on the race. Crossing my fingers as I am applying with my sister this year!

NO! )-**
This actually happened in an "Intersection" of TARLA 2... totally missing the point of intercection... Teams where required to play a game of Volleyball against each other... the winning team moves on to the next route marker, the losing team stays there to wait for another team... that ended up giving us 1 last team waiting for NOBODY because there were no more teams left so that team got a penalty for 30 minutes... that needed to be completed before moving on to the next route marker...
THIS SHOULD NEVER BE DONE
The race it should never put teams against each other, but against themself, agains their own weakness...
Alenaveda:
And one more thing about what Vitoko said about that Intersection in TARLA 2: if one team (Omar & Jorge) wouldn't have been penalized due to breaking the rules (4 hours), the last team would have been eliminated due to the 15 minutes delay for being the last loser. :(

:funny: That does sound less than ideal, but even that volleyball idea could work if it were better thought out. Actually that could be ideal as a race opening task to determine which teams get put on an early flight and which get put on a secondary flight. Especially with the race beginning in the LA area almost exclusively, I could picture a start point of Manhattan beach with teams being randomly pitted against each other for the right to take the best flight.
