MN: Green Heck Gravel Rally
June 22 @ 10:30 PM – June 23 @ 6:00 AM
The Green Heck Road Rally, sanctioned by the SCCA Land ‘o Lakes Region, is a Regional Tour all-night regularity (TSD) rally run on the twisty, technical, and hilly forest roads north of Park Rapids, MN. Honoring the long history of stage rallies in the area, this event sends you down some of the same stage roads used by John Buffum, Rod Millen, and Doug Shepherd in the Group B era. Battle the terrain and your own endurance as you drive toward the sunrise.
We have secured a recce exemption from ARA for Ojibwe Forests Rally competitors.
Each car must include two people: a Driver and a Navigator. No other passengers are allowed. A special release is required if your Navigator is a minor (under 18 years of age). No special equipment is required. We recommend you download the Rabbit Rally 2.0 app to use our interactive digital roadbook and GPS timing for the most fun. You do NOT need to do an odometer calibration for G (GPS) Class, but one will be available if you choose to do so. Rabbit Rally 2.0 offers an interactive digital roadbook and does all calculations so that you always know if you are on time. Time Allowances are now integrated directly into Rabbit for easier operation.
Scoring is done via independent GPS boxes mounted on your windows.
The rally will start from the Super 8 in Park Rapids, MN, with the first car out at 1131PM, and end at the Great Northern Cafe, ±6.5 hours and 193 miles later.
Entry fee $75 per car, plus $20 Weekend Membership for non-SCCA members
A note on road conditions and vehicle choice—
Forest roads can be rough and unpredictable, but we have found these roads to be generally smooth and without obstructions. Significant hazards will be called out in the roadbook as Cautions. Low-clearance vehicles are not recommended. Since this rally is run in remote forests at night, we do recommend equipping your vehicle with ample forward lighting and a recovery point on the front and rear of the vehicle. Underbody protection is never a bad idea, but will not be necessary to complete this rally safely.
Let’s be good stewards of the forest and the community. The rally will be run below the speed limit with street cars. Wait, won’t that make it boring? Sorry, “boring” isn’t in our vocabulary. Get ready for a really fun night. Head over to MotorsportReg and sign up your team today!
