WI: Roads Scholar National Course Rally
June 3, 2023 @ 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM
Join your fellow RoadRally enthusiasts for this SCCA Milwaukee Region-sanctioned 180-mile time-speed-distance National Course RoadRally in the beautiful Wisconsin countryside. You and your rally partner will enjoy a scenic adventure through the marvelous country roads west of Madison, Wisconsin. You’ll be tested on your ability to observe, reason, maintain the assigned average speeds, and follow explicit directions. This year’s Roads Scholar National Course Rally will use both Numbered and Lettered Route Instructions. There will be a variable Main Road rule.
It is not recommended for people who have never rallied before.
There are several miles of unpaved roads on the rally route.
The rally starts in Verona, Wisconsin (at Hyatt Place) and finishes in Prairie du Chien, WI (on the Mississippi River). The following day, June 4th, the Roads Scamper National Tour Rally starts at the Country Inn & Suites, Prairie du Chien, WI, and runs back to Madison, WI.

Friday Headquarters hotel: Hyatt Place, Wisconsin.
Saturday Headquarters hotel: Country Inn & Suites, Prairie du Chien, WI.
Sunday night hotel: La Quinta, Madison, WI. (near the airport).
Roads Scholar National Course Rally schedule:
Check-in – 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM Friday, in the Lobby Lounge of Hyatt Place, Verona, WI.
First Car Off – 8:31 AM Saturday
First Car Finished – Approx 5:30 pm – Prairie du Chien, WI
Cost: $90/car. Any contestant not a full SCCA member (paid annual or lifetime dues), must purchase a $15 Weekend Membership. A Weekend Membership is valid for five days, so one Weekend membership is sufficient for BOTH rallies — Roads Scholar and Roads Scamper. Two Weekend Memberships are required if neither team member is an SCCA member.
Pre-registration is required for this event. General Instructions will be emailed to all registered contestants two weeks prior to the event.
We encourage you to join us the next day, Sunday, June 4th, for the Roads Scamper National Tour RoadRally. Roads Scamper starts at the County Inn & Suites, Prairie du Chien, WI. You can register for this rally on MSReg.com. It is listed as a separate event.

The Roads Scholar National Course Rally will have four Classes, as determined by the distance measurement and calculating devices used.
Class E (Equipped)
There are no restrictions on calculating equipment in this Class. Typical calculating devices in this Class include Alfa, Chronar, Timewise, and Zeron rally computers.
Class L (Limited)
All distance information is derived from any of the following: the vehicle’s electronic system, the vehicle’s speedometer cable, or pulses generated by the movement of the vehicle (e.g., magnets mounted to the drivetrain, of GPS devices). Calculating devices are limited to those that require manual entry of the distance information (e.g., Curta calculators, tables, laptop computers, electronic APPs, and programmable and non-programmable electronic calculators). Readouts that continuously show the difference from either the perfect time or the perfect distance are prohibited.
Class S (Stock)
Any distance information used for timing calculations must be visually acquired from the vehicle’s stock, non-adjustable odometer in the stock location. Any calculating device may be used as long as the distance information from the vehicle’s stock odometer is manually entered into the device. GPS odometers may be used in this Class only if their information is NOT used for any timing calculations or for any determination of earliness or lateness.
Class G (GPS)
All distance information must be derived from a GPS source. Calculating devices may be any electronic device (e.g., Simple Rally Computer type APPs and a GPS-Pulser) providing distance input to a Rally computer.
