Funkana Suggestions Needed
Our club is hosting a Funkana event and I'm soliciting you guys for suggestions. A Funkana is a timed event with points given for doing silly things. Some things include putting a cup on a cone while moving. Driving a simple cone course blindfolded with the navigator giving instructions. Parallel parking. Driving a given distance. The funkana doesn't have to have all driving events. The nut and bolt challenge is fun (fitting nuts and bolts together in a box of different sizes). Using brooms to push a ball through a cone course is another. If you guys could give me some suggestions, it would be appreciated.

Pit Stop. The driver pulls up to a table and has to change 4 spark plugs in an old cylinder head. Bolt the head to a sturdy table and have 4 spark plugs already in the head. Have a ratchet and socket and 4 other plugs nearby. The drillis to replace the installed plugs with the other ones. Have somebody with a stopwatch time the entrant from start to finish.
You can do this also as a separate activity for anyone there. Fun to watch people who don't do any work on cars try it!!
Also try driving backwards thru a cone course
You could even set a short very tight course where the entrant goes forward to a stop box and then have them back all the way out of the course.

Right now we have:
Parallel Park (closest to curb)
Pull up to the cone (without touching)
Stop on the spot (cover the spot completely)
Drive the distance (pick a card, 50',75',100',125',150',175', drive the distance)
Backwards driving through cones, pick tennis ***** off cones, toss into trash cans along the route.
Forward driving blindfolded, navigator directing through cone course.
Spark plug R&R
Golf Ball on plate, get out of car, run cone course, points deducted for dropping ball.
Tire roll and change
What's in the box, reach in box, feel items, list as many as you can on paper.
Nut and Bolt, assemble as many loose nuts and bolts of different sizes.
Would like to do the teeter-totter balance, but cant find ramps to do it.
Still looking for suggestions, thanks for the replies.

Along the course have the driver and co-driver get out and make a set nunber of free throws in the basket. Then they get back in and drive a short distance and then they get out and the driver has to throw a hula-hoop over the co-driver.
