The rally will use a smart phone app for timing 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 your phone needs before the rally. The app is free to download. Go to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and search Richta. Download the Competitor – Richta GPS Checkpoints app.

You only need the following things:

Any 4-wheeled street-legal and insured car or small truck.

A team of two people consisting of a Driver and Navigator.

Driver must possess a valid driver’s license.

The rally starts in Atlantic City, NJ, at our sponsors’ Ciocca Corvette location. Check-in on the event day begins at 9:00 AM, Contestants meet at 10 AM, and the Rally begins at 10:30 AM.

The rally finishes at the Oyster Creek Restaurant and Boat Bar (41 N Oyster Creek Rd Leeds Point, NJ 08220). The first car should finish at about 2:00 PM, and the trophy presentation should be at about 3:00 PM.

THUNDER ROAD is an 8-hour SCCA National Tour Rally on Saturday, Nov. 9, 2024, and the first event of three rallies in the 2024 United States Road Rally Challenge. Rallymaster Joe Akerman has written a very scenic course with many things to keep folks on both sides of the car busy. The Monte Carlo format will include CZT at all restarts and checkpoints, and creeping/stopping will be allowed. Thunder Road will finish near the Start.

To welcome and encourage participation at the USRRC, any or all of these three rallies can be run as Regional rallies. Regional entrant finishes will not count toward the annual National Championship, nor will they be included in Lifetime Points. The Regional versions will run simultaneously and use the same course and Route Instructions as the National rallies, but will not be scored against the National competitors. The Regionals will have their own separate results and trophies.

Other rallies in the 2024 United States RoadRally Challenge are:

STAGECOACH is a 6-hour SCCA National Tour Rally on Sunday, Nov. 10, 2024. Stagecoach Rallymaster Larry Scholnick has written a simple straightforward course through some of the tastiest local backroads. This rally will use the Flying restart truncate.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY is a 6-hour SCCA National Course Rally on Veterans Day, Monday, Nov. 11, 2024. Highway Robbery Rallymaster Jeanne English has written a moderately challenging course utilizing variable Main Road Rules and covering some very exciting and picturesque driving roads. There will be variable main road determinants, but no more than four at any time (often only two). The Rallymaster expects most teams to do most legs correctly. Highway Robbery will finish some distance south of Start, heading back towards Los Angeles.

All three rallies will use the Competitor – Richta GPS Checkpoints app for timing and scoring. The maximum penalty on all three rallies is 30 seconds (1/2 minute) per checkpoint.

The pre-entry National entry fee is $105 per car per rally for the Nationals or $270 for all three, a savings of $15 per rally entry. The entry fee for the Regionals is $60 per car per rally or $135 for all three, with the same savings offer of $15 per rally entry.

The weekend rally headquarters is the Hampton Inn and Suites, Lancaster, CA. The special room rate for the rally weekend is $125/night plus tax and includes free breakfast, parking, and WiFi.

OH: Ohio Winter RoadRally
2025-02-01 12:30 - 21:00 UTC | • DiBella’s Subs, Solon, OH, 30050 Aurora Rd, Solon, OH, 44139, United States
Neohio Region, SCCA invites you to enter the 2025 Ohio Winter Rally (OWR) on February 1! This annual hivernal tour of the Lake Erie “snowbelt” counties of far northeastern Ohio dates back to at least 1966. It was one of the core events of the long-lamented Ohio Rally Championship (ORC) series.

Competitors can expect an absolutely straightforward, gimmick-free Time-Speed-Distance (TSD) road rally, with an emphasis on precise timing at well-placed controls. Columnar “tulip” style route instructions, with Official Mileages for all action points (similar to a stage rally routebook), will be used. The ~165-mile route will wind through Ohio’s Geauga, Ashtabula, and surrounding counties.

Prevailing road and weather conditions will dictate the rally’s difficulty. Competitors should come prepared to spend extended periods outside in severe winter conditions.

To help teams with limited prior timekeeping experience stay on schedule and to mitigate the possibility of “double jeopardy” penalties from carrying a timing error through multiple controls, parenthetical perfect cumulative leg times will be provided at all speed change locations. This will be done through the Richta GPS Checkpoints app, available as a free download for your smart device.

Registration and more information are available on motorsportreg.com. However, it is important to note that there will be no on-site registration, and online registration closes on Wednesday, January 29th.

The rally will count toward both the SCCA Great Lakes Division (GLD) Rally Championship and the SCCA National Touring Rally (NTR) Championship (Divisional Rally).

MN: Flamethrower Winter Road Rally
2025-02-22 14:00 - 22:30 UTC | • Godfather’s Pizza, Red Wing, MN, 2000 Old W Main St, Red Wing, MN, 55066, United States
If you love spirited driving on backroads, our dual-rally weekend with the Flamethrower Road Rally and Alligator Slide is for you! Here are two great winter rallies in one weekend; you can run these rallies in your street car with no special modifications. Grab a friend, and let’s go!

Flamethrower Rally is a brisk Regularity (TSD) Rally that invites you to compete from Red Wing to Winona on some of Minnesota’s best driving roads. The course takes advantage of the elevation changes, natural twisty gravel backroads, and challenging winter conditions in the valleys flowing into the Mississippi River. Road conditions can range from frozen gravel to snow and even some ice.

This year, we will also enjoy several very twisty single-lane minimum-maintenance roads! No ground clearance issues were found while prerunning with a stock economy car. “Flamethrower” refers to Lucas Flamethrower’s driving lights because much of this rally will be held at dusk and nighttime!

When both are out rallying, they are rivals, yet Rallymaster Tyler Linner shares this weekend with Ted Rurup and the Alligator Slide Rally, which runs on Sunday, February 23rd. Registration for both events and more information about the rallies is available at www.motorsportreg.com.

If you love spirited driving on backroads, our dual-rally weekend with the Flamethrower Road Rally and Alligator Slide is for you! Here are two great winter rallies in one weekend; you can run these rallies in your street car with no special modifications. Grab a friend, and let’s go!

Alligator Slide Rally is a brisk Regularity (TSD) Rally that invites you to compete from Winona back to Red Wing on some of Wisconsin’s best driving roads. The course pits you against the same fun and challenging driving weather conditions in Flamethrower, but includes a mix of paved & gravel roads sure to keep you on your toes! You may expect to encounter sandy areas, snow, and possibly some ice. “Alligator Slide” refers to a classic driftless-area rally road that hasn’t been run in many years- until now!

When both are out rallying, they are rivals, yet Rallymaster Ted Rurup is sharing this weekend with Tyler Linner and the Flamethrower Road Rally, which runs on Saturday, February 22nd. Registration for both events and more information about the rallies is available at www.motorsportreg.com.

When posting this event, the 200-mile Alligator Slide is anticipated to be ± six hours, and its starting time was not established.

AZ: 35th Annual Copperstate 1000
2025-04-05 - 2025-04-09 | • Tempe Diablo Stadium, 2200 W. Alameda Drive, Tempe, AZ, 85282, United States
The 35th annual Bell Lexus North Scottsdale Copperstate 1000, presented by the Men’s Arts Council, returns to Arizona, April 5-9, 2025. It is one of North America’s most celebrated vintage car road rallies, showcasing some of the finest working examples of vintage, sports, racing, classic, and grand touring automobiles manufactured before the 1974 model year.
“Each year, we see some of the world’s most unique cars take part in this exciting event,” said
Scott McPherson, Copperstate 1000 Chairman and Men’s Art Council member. “We’re thrilled to continue this tradition in 2025, bringing together car enthusiasts and participants of all ages in our community. We invite everyone to join us on Sunday, April 6, to admire the incredible cars, chat with the drivers, and cheer them off on the Rally.”
The public and fans of all ages can view the cars participating in the Copperstate 1000 before they depart for their journey at the Copperstate send-off event. It will take place at Tempe Diablo Stadium on Sunday, April 6, beginning at 7:30 AM, where the vehicles are lined up around the outfield and announced as they begin to depart at 10:00 AM.
There will also be a local car show in the West lot of the stadium from 7:30 to 11:30 AM. Local car enthusiasts are encouraged to bring their cars for display in the West lot. Coffee and donuts will also be available in the West parking lot.
In honor of the 35th anniversary, the 2025 Copperstate 1000 will add thrilling new routes, taking drivers through diverse landscapes to discover hidden scenic gems that enhance the journey already known for crossing beautiful desert terrains, river verdant valley, and alpine landscapes across Arizona and beyond.
This year, 80 vintage automobiles journeyed, with drivers and navigators from the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe. The connections created at these rallies often blossom into lifetime friendships, and many attendees return year after year. The lineup of cars included 19 Porsches, 15 Ferraris, 12 Jaguars, 4 Aston Martins, and various American muscle cars. The lightest car is a 1965 Griffith that weighs only 1800 pounds, in contrast to the oldest car, a 1929 Bentley that has long-term ownership and weighs 4800 pounds.
“The Copperstate 1000 is one of the most unique events in town,” said Bell Lexus North Scottsdale. “The route is always different, and the Men’s Art Council puts a lot of time and effort into making this one of the best car events in the country. It’s fun to network, mingle, and meet new friends along the way.”
Bell Lexus North Scottsdale has been the title sponsor of the Copperstate 1000 for over 20 years and plays an intricate role in the rally’s success. The luxury car dealer lends the special event five brand new vehicles in the event that a rally car is not able to finish.
“This is the biggest and best free-to-attend car show in the state,” added McPherson.

New for 2025!
Prizes for best dressed or costume, best decorated car, best wookiee roar impression, highest trivia score, and more!
Each team will be tasked with tracking down Padmé’s attempted assassin by traversing the busy streets of Coruscant. Then track the mysterious bounty hunter to Kamino where you’ll discover the droid army the Federation has been manufacturing in secret. After that, it’s on to Geonosis where you’ll have to escape the Reek, Acklay, and Nexu before engaging in a lightsaber battle with Count Duku. After a battle well fought, you’ll finally report back to the Jedi Council – for awards, prizes, and event wrap-up.
This event is an SCCA TSD (time-speed-distance) Road Rally, where each vehicle will drive on paved public roads, following a set of predefined route instructions through various checkpoints using the Richta GPS Checkpoints mobile application. Participants will be scored based on their arrival time at each of the defined checkpoints. We will start at Panera, located near downtown Jacksonville, where cars will depart every 1 minute. The finish will be a sit-down restaurant at the Saint Johns Town Center, where scoring, awards, and lunch will be available (you are responsible for purchasing your food; we encourage everyone to eat and support the location).

Smiles and stories, guaranteed.
