IN: CASTatrophic Times Road Rally

CASTastrophic Times is a fairly brisk rally and is mostly run on the fun roads of Henderson County, Kentucky. The route is about 100 miles and takes just under 2.5 hours.

The gathering point is in the Hardees. Entrant check-in and tech will be from 12:30 to 1:00 PM, with the first car out about 1:30.

Following SIR/SCCA COVID-19 policy, the event is motorsportreg.com online registration only. You must register before 6:00 P.M. Saturday. The driver must register first. The navigator then connects to a registered driver.

The cost is $32 per car. There’s an additional $10 charge for non-SCCA member drivers. When payment is processed after the event, SCCA member or not, the SIR ‘Pay to Play’ discount will be applied. That’s a $5 saving to those that have run the previous rally…and running this rally gets you ‘Pay to Play’ for our next rally.

The main road rules in use will be following the center line and straight as possible. There’s no T rule and thus no counting of opportunities at T’s. There are lots of references to road numbers throughout the route. It should be easy to follow.

Novice tutoring will be offered at about noon. If you’ve only tried autocrossing, this rally could open your eyes to how much late braking and heavy throttle application it takes to maintain a 48-55 MPH average on roads that have hills, bends, and some sharp turns!

PS:  On the Apple or Android smartphone or tablet device of your choice, please have the newest Richta Competitor application installed. A new version was released recently. It’s a free app. Teams MUST devote one device to running the application to be timed at the checkpoints.  The route has been tested with Android version 1.20.
