Eureka Road Rally is an SCCA Divisional Course Rally written by Jeanne English. It is a companion rally to ITN’s Thunder Road, a Monte Carlo-style SCCA National Tour Rally written by Joe Akerman on Saturday, October 15. Both are headquartered at the Hampton Inn in Arvin (Tejon Ranch), CA. Registration for Eureka opens at 8:00A; route instructions are handed out at 8:30A plus your car number in minutes. Official start time is 9:00A plus your car number, in minutes, but once you receive your route instructions, you are free to leave.
From the start, Eureka will head east to Stallion Springs (west of Tehachapi). Besides some fun roads, the rally will visit the Tehachapi Loop and go through a covered bridge! The rally will be lightly trapped, with Jeanne expecting most cars to do most legs correctly. You can run it using either the SCCA RRRs or SMSCC’s General Instructions, there will be an addendum to help make that happen.
The rally will use the Richta GPS Competitor app for timing and scoring, with timing to the second. The maximum penalty for Eureka is 1 minute (60 seconds) per leg. Before you arrive at the start, please download the Richta GPS Competitor app to your phone; it’s a free download for Android and Apple devices. There is no need for additional timing equipment; your Official Time shows in the app!
The entry fee for Eureka is $50 for SCCA members and $60 for non-SCCA members. Plus, register by October 12 for a $10 discount!
This is an SCCA Divisional Course Rally sponsored by Santa Monica Sports Car Club and Cal Club SCCA. Trophies will be awarded to the top teams in Classes E (Equipped), L (Limited equipment), S (Stock), G (GPS-driven rally computers), and N (Novice – 3 or fewer previous rallies).
