PA: SCCA Heck’s And Back Divisional RoadRally
July 23, 2023 @ 10:30 AM – 3:00 PM
Heck’s and Back Roadrally is sponsored by the Philadelphia Region SCCA with the cooperation of Blue Mountain Region. The Heck’s and Back GTA RoadRally is a question-and-answer Divisional Rally that will traverse some scenic back roads in Berks County, many of which will feature hex signs common in the area. Rallymasters Bruce Gezon and Clyde Heckler have designed a course that features some questions containing a few tricks (traps) to separate the scores.
We offer two classes: Experienced (team members have run five or more rallies combined) and Novice. There will be awards (hex sign themed) for first and second in Experienced, and first through third for Novice entries.
Our route will cover approximately 70 miles, and you will have 4 hours to complete it. The route is totally paved, so there are no worries about dirt/rocks.
After you register, approximately two weeks before the event, you will receive general instructions explaining the rules for the rally, how to follow the course, a glossary of terms included in the route instructions, scoring, etc. General instructions will also eventually be available on this webpage.
Start:
Saucony Creek Brewery Company + Gastropub in Kutztown, PA.
Schedule of Events:
10:30 am Registration opens at Saucony Creek Brewing Company + Gastropub.
Please park in the parking lot to the left of the outdoor patio as you enter the parking lot (not in the front). Your registration packet will include the route instructions and publicity material for other upcoming events in the area. All participants must sign a liability release, and non-members must fill out the Weekend and Trial Membership forms and Minor Waivers for anyone under 18. You may only have two adults in the car. A child under ten does not count against the adult limit.
You may depart whenever you are ready and satisfied with your route instructions. If you would like to have breakfast, the Airport Diner (15110 Kutztown Rd) is less than a mile away, but allow extra time as they are typically very busy on Sunday mornings.
Finish: Saucony Creek Craft Brewing Company + Gastropub. They offer a variety of beers and foods that are crafted fresh with the highest quality care for ingredient selection and process.
Questions about the event can be sent to the Co-Rallymaster Clyde Heckler via contact information below or call 609-923-6306.
