CO: Rallye Glenwood Springs
2023-06-09 00:00 - 2023-06-11 23:59 (America/Chicago) | • Courtyard Glenwood Springs, Glenwood Springs, CO, 105 Wulfsohn Rd, Glenwood Springs, CO, 81601, United States
Over the June 9-11th Weekend, the MG Car Club (of England), Rocky Mountain Centre, will be hosting Rallye Glenwood Springs, billed as the oldest continuously run TSD rally in the U.S., and celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the MG car company. After WW II, returning military officers came home with the MG TC, a lightweight roadster suitable for road, track, and hill climbs. The cars created a sensation, leading to the rapid expansion of sports car ownership in the U.S. in the early 1950s. These cars, together with Jags, 356 Porsches, and the occasional Allard, first contested the Rallye Glenwood Springs.

The MGCC, RMC was chartered in 1954. Among the founding members were Hazel Hopkins Marble, a local road race and hill climb enthusiast, and Doreen Evans, a member of the famous “Dancing Daughters,” an all-woman MG factory race team of the 1930s. The MGCC, RMC, currently has more than 200 member families.

The centerpiece of a three-day sports car event, the Rallye is run in and around beautiful Glenwood Springs, Colorado, on Saturday, June 10th. All makes, and models are invited, though sports cars and classics are strongly encouraged.

The Friday History Repeats Itself Tour begins at Gunther Toody’s Restaurant, 8266 W Bowles Ave, Littleton, CO, and may be started at your leisure; however, we recommend you depart no later than 9:00A so you can be at the hotel in time to complete the tie-breaker questions. Tour instructions are given out between 7:30A and 9:00A at Gunther Toody’s. As in the past, pay attention to everything along the way, as successfully answering the tie-breaker questions at the end may rely upon that particular skill.

Tour Classes

You can only enter one class.

The MG class is for all MG vehicles driven on the tour.

The Vintage class is for cars, including MGs, made before 1970.

The Modern class is for all non-MG cars made from 1970 onwards.

First, second, and third-place trophies will be presented for each class.

On Saturday, the Rallye Glenwood Springs begins with registration at 7A. The First Car Departs at 8:01A from the Courtyard Glenwood Springs, our host hotel. This year’s Rallye is a traditional Time Speed Distance (TSD) Rallye. The Rallyemaster has avoided hard-to-see signs and other annoyances to ensure a fun and challenging rallye experience. An insurance waiver must be signed by both driver and navigator before departing.

A clipboard, pen/pencil and paper, stopwatch, and a well-read copy of the Rallye General Instructions will be helpful. Please visit the MGCC.org website to read the Rallye General Instructions and the Rallye Primer. A draft copy of the Supplement will also be posted, with a final version in your Rallye packet. One or more experienced rallyists will be available at the start location to answer questions.

The route is on paved roads. All assigned speeds will be at or below posted speed limits. There will be breaks along the route, including a lunch break.

Rallye Classes

Novice SOP (Seat of the Pants) – Rallyists are eligible for Novice class until they win a First Place or have competed in THREE TSD Rallyes. Pencil and paper calculations only.

Intermediate SOP – Rallyists are eligible for Intermediate class until they have won First Place in Intermediate class. Pencil and paper calculations only.

Experienced SOP – No limit on experience. Pencil and paper calculations only. Rallye charts and tables are permitted.

Vintage – Any equipment must be period correct. Cars must be forty years old or older (1982 or older).

And the festivities don’t end there! On Sunday, there will be a Car Show and a Funkhana, Youth Judging, and Special Awards for the weekends activities.

THUNDER ROAD 2023, an SCCA National Tour, is the first event of the Cal Club and Into the Night Rally Team’s Double Rally Weekend! TWO LANE BLACK TOP, is an SCCA Divisional Tour Rally on Sunday, June 18, 2023

We are proud that last year’s Thunder Road 2022 was named the Best New National Rally of 2022 by the Sports Car Club of America, and we are striving to make TR23 even better. We take our responsibility to provide you with a fun and exciting rally very seriously. We have searched diligently to find you the prettiest roads we could and to get you out of civilization as much as possible. We will be running the most scenic and drivable roads in the San Gabriel, Tehachapi, and southern Sierra Nevada mountains, and through the farmlands and open vistas of Kern County and the Antelope Valley.

The Route Instructions for this event will use a simple Monte Carlo format, meaning you get turn-by-turn directions and your target time at each Checkpoint. All Timed Checkpoints are listed in the Route Instructions and referenced by prominent signs on the course. The rally is a little over 350 miles long, and you will have about 8 and a half hours of driving nirvana with many breaks for gas, food, and rest stops.

The object of this event is to enjoy driving sweeping, beautiful, challenging back roads at legal speeds while following simple directions to pass a series of Checkpoints at just the right time.

Rallymaster Joe Akerman says “There is no need for advanced math, no riddles, compasses, maps or gimmicks, just glorious roads to drive with a focus on precision and accuracy.” This is a team sport —the Driver and Navigator must work together to get it right. Only two people (Driver and Navigator) are allowed per car on SCCA Naitonal Road Rallies. The rally will run, rain or shine.

There are no preset average speeds; just run at the posted speed limits (the rally is timed at least two mph BELOW those limits and has pauses where needed). If you reach a timed Checkpoint early, you can pull over, get out of traffic lanes, and either creep or stop and wait for your target time to pass by the Checkpoint.

We will be using the Richta GPS Competitor app for timing and scoring. This app is FREE and easy to use on any GPS-enabled smartphone or tablet. Go to the App Store, Google Play Store, or https://richtarally.com/ and download it. There is no need for additional timing equipment; your Official Time shows in the app!

This event has been designed to be extremely EV friendly. There are charging stations at the Start, in the area of the breaks, and near the Finish.

Please register online here at MotorsportsReg. The Registration fee is $95 per car. There’s a $15 discount for each of up to 2 SCCA members. When you check out, use the discount code SCCAONE if you have one SCCA member in the car. Use the code SCCATWO if you have two SCCA members in the car. PLEASE USE ONLY ONE OF THESE DISCOUNTS. (If the “register now” button doesn’t work, please reload this page and try again.)

You may still register in person at the Start. (Sorry, but we cannot accept credit cards at Registration. Please use the MSR website to pay by credit card.) Rally day registration will be at the Holiday Inn Express and Suites, our headquarters hotel, in Valencia, CA 91355, exit 170 off Interstate 5 at Magic Mountain Parkway.

This is an SCCA National Tour Rally sponsored by the Into the Night Rally Team and CalClub. Trophies will be awarded to the top teams in Classes E (Equipped), L (Limited equipment), S (Stock), G (GPS-driven rally computers), and N (Novice – 3 or fewer previous rallies).

The rally will hold close to its roots, featuring a classic TSD (time-speed-distance) road rally complete with MRDs/TRAPS, rigorous course following (using OR and ITIS instructions), and this year we have added a relaxed Tour rally. Both travel wonderful twisty backroads from Portland, OR to Eugene, Oregon, over two days of driving.

But we have also made some changes to change with the times. First, you no longer need an old car to participate. We ENCOURAGE new sports car owners to join! We have special recognition planned for new Alfa owners. But ANY suitable modern car can sign up. If you don’t want to drive that finicky Spider or MG, you can bring out your Mustang, BMW, or…

Our presenting sponsor, Vintage Underground, forged another change to encourage new and younger participants. The tour can now be a traditional “follow-the-leader” format or ON YOUR OWN with a simplified route book. And all tour participants can take some pictures along the way, like their car going through one of the seven covered bridges or other landmarks along the route. If they post the photos to Instagram or FaceBook with the event hashtag #NWCCRALLY, they receive a raffle ticket for items raffled during the Awards Brunch on Sunday. The goal is to encourage and engage tour participants and have something for them to look forward to on Sunday besides the People’s Choice “Concours and Coffee.”

Also added to Sunday is a classic, 1960s-style gymkhana. There is no cost; teams can watch, participate, or both (see details below in the comprehensive schedule). As of April 25th, we have 34 RALLY entries and eight TOUR entrants at the time of writing. We expect 50-60 cars in total.

Here is the planned schedule for the 34th NW Classic Car Challenge. The committee has created an enjoyable and complete weekend with social aspects and events beyond just a RALLY or a TOUR. It is a true bucket list event!

Time for the August First Friday Niter! Rallymaster Paul McGaffey has written a pure tour course using the Monte Carlo style timing. You will be given “Car Zero Times” at each Checkpoint. Just add your car number in minutes to the Car Zero Time to get your time to cross each Checkpoint. If you get there early, you may stop or creep without penalty, so long as you do it safely and out of traffic lanes. The course will take you through the magnificent driving roads of the Santa Monica Mountains and Finish at BJ’s Brewhouse, 3955 Thousand Oaks Blvd, Westlake Village.

This rally uses the Competitor Richta GPS Checkpoints app for timing and scoring, with timing in seconds. This month’s maximum penalty is 60 seconds (1 minute) per checkpoint. The app is FREE and easy to use on any GPS-enabled smartphone. Go to the App Store or Google Play Store, or https://richtarally.com/. There is no need for additional timing equipment or clocks – your Official Time shows in the app!

Also, if you want to see all the scores at the Finish, download the FREE Richta Scoreboard app.

Please try to register online at MotorsportReg. This helps us figure out how many sets of instructions to print, trophies, etc. If that doesn’t work for you, you can still register in person, which opens at 7:00 pm, with the first car out at 8:01 pm; there is a beginner/Richta meeting at 7:40 pm.
