NJ: The GPS Monte Rally

August 24, 2014 @ 10:30 AM - 4:00 PM

Join the South Jersey Region SCCA for their last RoadRally event of the summer, the GPS Monte Rally. This unique event will present an entirely new kind of challenge for experienced rallyists, and a fun introduction to the sport for newcomers.
The GPS Monte Rally combines elements from the two types of events from which it derives its name. Competitors route instructions will consist of a simple list of Latitude/Longitude coordinates, each with a keytime. Connect the dots by navigating to each location in order, traveling through the back roads of South Jersey, attempting to arrive as close to the given keytime as possible. This rally requires a standalone or smartphone GPS that can accept Lat./Long. coordinates, and a car you don’t mind getting just a little dirty – the route will include unpaved and dirt roads.

A RoadRally is a test of precision driving and navigation. It is NOT a race! The goal is to reach each checkpoint exactly on time, neither early nor late. The event takes place on public roads, with speeds at or below the legal limit. If you’re a car enthusiast, like puzzles, enjoy driving through scenic countryside, or are just looking for an interesting activity and the opportunity to meet new people, you ought to give RoadRallying a try! All you need are two people (a driver and navigator) and a car, small truck, or van.

Afterwards, all the competitors are invited to have a drink, grab a bite to eat, and swap war stories about the day’s event at the finishing location, Carolina Blue in Pitman. Trophies will be awarded to the top finishers. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact the Rally Chairperson, Jim Wakemen.

Registration opens at 10:30 am. First car is off at 11:16 am.

The rally cars should be finished by approximately 4:00 pm.

Entry fess are $25-$35 per team.
