2012 Not Superman Rally
St. Louis, Missouri
4 day + 4 hour NSR in 2012 - 6:00 AM Monday, July 23 to 10:00 AM Friday, July 27 (exactly 100 hours). That gives the weekend before and the weekend after for travel to and from the rally.
Key elements of the 2012 NSR that will help you decide if this rally is for you:
- MERA Championship points rally
- mandatory 6 hour minimum rest stops in each 24 hour period
- enforcement of the no excessive speed and/or reckless motorcycle operation rule (see footnote 1)
- mileage cap to make routing as interesting as the 54-hour NSR was in 2009
- minimum points to be considered a finisher

The 2012 NSR will start and finish in St. Louis, MO.
SPoT will be mandatory. The public Spotwalla location page will show riders by 3-digit randomized number to protect their identities. Date, time and latitude-longitude will be shown for each anonymous rider on the public location page.
The base rally entry fee will be $100.00 solo and $150.00 2-up. No T-shirts will be included in the entry fee and there will be no awards banquet because it will take us several days to audit the SPoT time stamped location data and required receipts and bonus capture documentation to ensure compliance with key element #3 herein above. However, there will be pizza and cokes served at 12 noon on Friday, July 27. This is to keep down the cost of the NSR rally. The one thing we are going to spend money on is a super cool rally flag.
You will be scored by volunteer rally staff, just like in the Cape Fear 1000. You will turn in your camera's memory card with no photos other than bonus photos and you will get your camera's memory card back immediately with your bonus photos intact. You may take up to 3 photos at any bonus location, OR you may use a smart phone like an iPhone or Droid, shoot the bonus photo and email it to me on the spot (no pun intended).
