MI: Detroit Region Moonlight Monte RoadRally

SCCA Detroit Region’s RoadRally program is rollin’ now! Next up on the Region’s road rally calendar, following the upcoming Twilight Tour on April 17 (canceled, due to Covid concerns, April 12, 2021), is the third of the Region’s eight scheduled 2021 rallies, Moonlight Monte, on June 5. Rallymaster Dan Harkcom will take you on roughly 200 miles of rallying over the back roads between West Branch and Houghton Lake – and there are many tasty roads to traverse in that area! Registration is open – click here to head over to MotorsportReg for additional event specifics and to register.

Since most of Michigan’s most interesting and least-traveled rally roads are unpaved, expect to run on Saturday and wash on Sunday. All of the roads used will be traversable at rally speeds in the average family car. Depending on weather conditions, you can expect a combination of dust, mud, or washboard, so prepare accordingly.

Moonlight Monte will be an early afternoon through evening SCCA RoadRally event. Starting and ending in West Branch, course following is straightforward with frequently mileaged instructions to keep you on course. A combination of speed changes, transits, and pauses will challenge the teams to arrive on time at the timing controls.

Moonlight Monte will use the Richta app for timing and scoring. If you haven’t used the Richta app before, click here to learn what the app is and how to use it.
