The Driftless Challenge Prolog, a Divisional Tour RoadRally, will be sanctioned by the SCCA Land O’ Lakes Region. Yes! This is on Friday, March 20, 2020, and is the ‘prolog’ to the Driftless Challenge National Tour Rally which runs on Saturday, March 21st.
- 2PM to 10PM Registration
- 3PM-7PM Driftless Challenge Prolog (start anytime in the range you want)
- 6PM-10PM Cars finish
The rally will utilize a GPS based timing and scoring system and feature an electronic roadbook friendly to newcomers as well as experienced.
The rally will be run in accordance with the 2020 SCCA Road Rally Regulations (RRR) as amended by the event’s Additional Supplementary Regulations (ASR). Shortly before the rally, you will receive the Roadbook as a PDF. You are expected to print your own copies. If you can’t, send us an email and we will print one for you. You will also get an electronic Roadbook or RBK file. Those using the Rally Rabbit 2 app can load it on their device. The RBK not only shows instructions but manages your mileage, time, speed changes, and any other items needed to follow the course and get good scores.
Timing and scoring will be done by the MiRally GPS Control system. An app monitors your location using GPS and reports it to a central Timing and Scoring facility in the cloud. The timing points will be essentially Passage Controls. A timed section, usually 2 -5 miles may provide timing points every quarter mile.
This year we will also have some MiRallyGPS boxes. These boxes do not have any of the issues encountered while running apps on contestant phones.
