IN: Putnam Purple Cow Precision RoadRally
July 1, 2023 – July 2, 2023
Putnam Purple Cow Precision is a Tour RoadRally designed to be run by individuals attending the SCCA Time Trial event at Putnam Park Road Course the weekend of July 1-2, 2023. While the goal on track is to go fast, the goal of a RoadRally is to drive with precision and observation. The course will take participants into Cloverdale and back to Putnam Park while highlighting some of the amenities and unusual sites in the area. The entire course can be driven in less than an hour.
The rally uses Richta GPS Checkpoints, and participants may run it any time at their convenience from registration on Saturday until mid-afternoon on Sunday, If you are joining us for pizza in Cloverdale on Saturday evening, you can drive the first part of the rally from Putnam Park to Cloverdale on the way and then finish the return trip whenever you would like.
The cost of the RoadRally is $25 per car for members. If you are not an SCCA Member but are running the Time Trial Event the same weekend, then your weekend membership also covers this event. If you are not an SCCA member and have not purchased a weekend membership covering July 1-2, you must pay a $ 15 Weekend Membership fee at event check-in.
To make things interesting, live scoring for the RoadRally may be viewed with the Richta GPS Competitor system all weekend. If you run the rally and think you could do better, we will assign you a new car number for a $10 donation to the rally pot, and you can rerun the event. The event winners will get 50% of the rally pot, 2nd place will get 30%, and 3rd place will receive 20%.
The only class for this event is Stock. You must use your car’s odometer. A simple calculation device is permitted. The rally is designed so that you can get a good score just by following the directions and maintaining the correct speed between checkpoints. It is designed for those who have not rallied before but is also challenging for experienced rallyists. We promise you will see things you probably have not seen before and be challenged by some good paved roads.
