NJ: Sand Mines Road Rally
May 4 @ 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
The South Jersey Region of the Sports Car Club of America cordially invites you to join our fellow car enthusiasts for our South Jersey Sand Mines Road Rally. The rally starts at Ciocca Corvette in Atlantic City, NJ, on May 4, 2024, with a check-in time of 9:00 AM. The rally will be about a 4-hour 80-mile drive on all paved back roads through sparsely populated southern NJ, finishing at the Finish Line Pub at New Jersey Motorsports Park. As Driver and Navigator, you and your teammate will follow written route instructions at assigned average speeds. Average speeds are always at or below the speed limit for the road. You will have your time of arrival at each checkpoint recorded. The goal is to arrive at each checkpoint precisely on time. Penalty points are given equally for arriving too early (too fast) or too late (too slow). Awards will be presented in eligible classes at the finish of about 3 PM.
No prior rally experience is necessary. This rally is designed to be accessible for teams new to the sport while still being a challenge for experienced teams. There are no tricky instructions. There is a 50-car/small truck limit to the number of entries.
The rally will use a smartphone app to time the contestants’ arrival at the checkpoints. The app uses GPS information from your phone to record your arrival time and will, within a tenth of a second, tell you how early or late you arrived. The app will also display your total score as you progress through the checkpoints. All contestants must have a cell phone with them for the rally. Cell phone signal strength is not an issue since you will download all the data needed to your phone prior to the rally. The app is free to download. Go to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and search Richta. Download the Richta competitor app.

Any 4-wheeled street-legal and insured car or small truck.
A team of two people consisting of a Driver and Navigator.
