TO BE A FINISHER OF THE 2011 IRON BUTT RALLY, you must visit all 48 Lower States (getting a computer-generated receipt of any kind, and make the checkpoints on time. That's it.

However, to place well, there are two additional opportunities for points: do a documented SCMA Four-Corners Ride during the 11-day Iron Butt Rally, in addition to the mandatory Lower 48 states.

One can also visit certain state capitols and photograph them. Only certain capitols are "eligible" on any given leg.

A rather different Iron Butt Rally this year.... back to it's roots: pure, unadulterated mega-mileage. B)

Also on tap are the usual Sleep Bonuses, but this year, you actually obtain more points by sleeping *longer*.... one point per minute of sleep: minimum of 240 points (2 hr sleep) up to a maximum of 480 points (4 hour sleep).

A welcomed change is the elimination of the mandatory fuel log! In this IBR, your ability to finish doesn't hinge on fuel logs and receipts, rather, you must proved you visited each of the Lower 48 states via a computer-generated receipt from each state. You can use any route you want, as long as you make it to the Checkpoints in NY and FL within the checkpoint window.
