CA: Drive the High Country Road Rally, Santa Clarita
An SCCA-Sanctioned Regional Tour RoadRally in Monte Carlo format, the Drive the High Country Road Rally, will have all Checkpoints listed in the route instructions and all Checkpoint times given. There will be no assigned average speeds to maintain. Creeping and/or stopping will be allowed without penalty. Just follow the directions until you find a Checkpoint and then pace yourself into the Checkpoint sign at exactly your correct time for a perfect zero every time!! Lowest score wins. All roads will be paved and public. Events will run rain or shine. These events are NOT races. They are contests of precise driving and accurate navigation.
All you need is a street-legal licensed and insured vehicle, 2 people (Driver and Navigator) and a smartphone or other GPS-enabled device to run Richta GPS Checkpoint, our (free) timing and scoring app. No need for fancy timing equipment – your correct time will be shown in the app. Even more, Monte Carlo format rallies are the most accessible form of Road Rallies because you don’t have to go a set speed or do a lot of calculation – all your target times for all the checkpoints are given in the Route Instructions.
