PA: USRRC 50th Anniversary Little Appalachian Rally
October 20, 2023 All day
Clyde Heckler, Rallymaster, is celebrating an anniversary during the 2023 United States Road Rally Challenge (USRRC) on Friday, October 20th. This year’s Little Appalachian National Course Rally is the 50th Anniversary year of his first rally for the SCCA Philadelphia Region in 1973. It is also the first National Championship rally sanctioned by the Philadelphia Region since the 1983 Appalachian Road Rally, 40 years ago!
The 50th Little Appalachian will be a throwback event, as it is a course rally of moderate difficulty and will use the Abridged RoadRally Rules. It uses a fixed priority list, including the principal road rule. There are no main road determinants, yet we’ll use the onto rule and letter instructions. The route will be in Chester County, known for its horse farms, and Lancaster County, an Amish area.
At the rally’s conclusion, the contestants will head down to New Jersey for the final two rallies of the USRRC – The Jersey Devil National Tour and Up the Creek National Course Rally by Rallymaster Jim Wakemen.
This rally will use the Richta GPS Competitor App and the SCCA Abridged RoadRally Rules.
Here are some images from the early years of the Appalachian National Rally: 1960 Rally Regulations and the 1958 rally plate.
