OH: Ohio Winter Rally
February 4, 2023 @ 1:30 PM – 9:00 PM
Tanned, rested and ready… A northeast Ohio tradition since 1966 is back! Neohio Region, SCCA invites you to enter the 2023 Ohio Winter Rally. The ~165 mile route will traverse portions of northeast Ohio’s Lake Erie “snowbelt” counties.
Competitors can expect an absolutely straightforward, gimmick-free, Time-Speed-Distance (TSD) road rally with emphasis on precise timing at well placed controls. Columnar “tulip” style route instructions, with Official Mileages for all action points (similar to a stage rally routebook), will be used.
In an effort to help teams with limited prior timekeeping experience stay on schedule, and to mitigate the possibility of “double jeopardy” from carrying a timing error through multiple controls, parenthetical perfect cumulative leg times will be provided at all speed change locations.
The rally will count toward both the SCCA Great Lakes Division Rally Championship, and the SCCA National Touring Rally Championship as Divisional Rally.
