CA: USRRC 2024 Thunder Road RoadRally
November 9 All day
THUNDER ROAD is an 8-hour SCCA National Tour Rally on Saturday, Nov. 9, 2024, and the first event of three rallies in the 2024 United States Road Rally Challenge. Rallymaster Joe Akerman has written a very scenic course with many things to keep folks on both sides of the car busy. The Monte Carlo format will include CZT at all restarts and checkpoints, and creeping/stopping will be allowed. Thunder Road will finish near the Start.
To welcome and encourage participation at the USRRC, any or all of these three rallies can be run as Regional rallies. Regional entrant finishes will not count toward the annual National Championship, nor will they be included in Lifetime Points. The Regional versions will run simultaneously and use the same course and Route Instructions as the National rallies, but will not be scored against the National competitors. The Regionals will have their own separate results and trophies.
Other rallies in the 2024 United States RoadRally Challenge are:
STAGECOACH is a 6-hour SCCA National Tour Rally on Sunday, Nov. 10, 2024. Stagecoach Rallymaster Larry Scholnick has written a simple straightforward course through some of the tastiest local backroads. This rally will use the Flying restart truncate. All checkpoints will be identified in the Route Instructions. Stagecoach will finish near the Start.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY is a 6-hour SCCA National Course Rally on Veterans Day, Monday, Nov. 11, 2024. Highway Robbery Rallymaster Jeanne English has written a moderately challenging course utilizing variable Main Road Rules and covering some very exciting and picturesque driving roads. There will be variable main road determinants, but no more than four at any time (often only two). The Rallymaster expects most teams to do most legs correctly. Highway Robbery will finish some distance south of Start, heading back towards Los Angeles.
All three rallies will use the Competitor – Richta GPS Checkpoints app for timing and scoring. The maximum penalty on all three rallies is 30 seconds (1/2 minute) per checkpoint.
The pre-entry National entry fee is $105 per car per rally for the Nationals or $270 for all three, a savings of $15 per rally entry. The entry fee for the Regionals is $60 per car per rally or $135 for all three, with the same savings offer of $15 per rally entry.
The weekend rally headquarters is the Hampton Inn and Suites, Lancaster, CA. The special room rate for the rally weekend is $125/night plus tax and includes free breakfast, parking, and WiFi. (A credit card is needed to make your reservation, but you won’t be charged until the first night of your stay. Hotel cancellations are allowed up to 24 hours before arrival without penalty.)
