It's such a huge endeavor, that they only run it every other year, but a scaled down version could be run yearly.

Very cool. And quite a bit like what I proposed above too. I would do this, and maybe bring my daughter along. She is getting into the car a little. The scheduling and time/sleep management parts are a bit like what redyaris proposes too. I just think, however, that the more the competition turns on specific measures such as fuel, the more difficult and costly regulating fairness will become. Checkpoints would be at least a little more complex to organize, regulate, and coordinate. So I would opt for an even simpler plan: get the pics in the places and get to the destination when you can but before a specific deadline.
