The SCCA New England Region’s Summer Challenge Rally will be on Saturday, May 20th, out of Randolph, VT Distance of ~170mi. From Rallymaster John Buffum, “Not a “trap rally” per se, but you will have to think on occasion.” Extensive rally knowledge not required.

And from the website, where you can find more information about this event:

Mar 13, 2023: I went out today to start the first survey. I plan routes at home using county type maps and then see how they really look when I drive around; usually 3 to 4 times over the course.

I have an idea of the ‘difficult instructions’ that I might want to use. It’s actually finding spots on the course to use them. This time you’ll be pleased (or not) to know I found some. ????

Mar 9, 2023: Yes, we will do a Summer Challenge Rally on May 20 starting at Exit 4 of I-89 in Randolph, Vermont. More info here as time goes on.

NOTE: All teams must pre-register! Click here for MotorsportReg, where you’ll find more information about the Vertigo Rally and get your team registered. There will be no walk-in entries on the day of the rally. SCCA Members are urged to apply for an Annual Waiver to bypass the signing of the paper waivers at each SCCA event. Should either of your team be a Minor (under 18 years of age), don’t hesitate to contact Rallymaster Ron Johnstonbaugh to obtain an SCCA Minor Waiver form to be properly executed before the rally by the Minor’s parents/guardian.

This rally will be timed with the Richta GPS Competitor automated checkpoint system. Each team must carry a “smart” phone or tablet (Android or iOS) running the current version of the Richta GPS Competitor “app.” Before the rally, all the checkpoint information (Latitude/Longitude coordinates and target arrival times) will be uploaded to the “cloud.” Teams will receive a password allowing them to download this information for their entry. Competitors will NOT be able to view this information in advance. Upon arrival at each checkpoint, a team’s device will sound an alert, displaying the team’s recorded arrival time, the score for that control, and cumulative score. The device may also display leg “critique” information provided by the Rallymaster Ron Johnstonbaugh.

Some helpful Richta user information can be found on the Detroit Region, SCCA website: http://drscca.org/rally/using-the-richta-competitor-app/

Teams are encouraged to register a second (backup) phone or tablet under a “phantom” car number 100 greater than their assigned car number (Car #1/101, Car #2/102, etc.). The second device will serve as an arrival time “insurance policy” and help organizers better understand the relative timing behavior of various platforms. It will not be used for scoring unless there is a failure of the primary device.

The Milwaukee Region SCCA invites you to come run the 11th Annual Badger Burrow Tour Rallye. The event is a brisk run through Wisconsin’s driftless and moraine region, mainly in Green County. The glaciers skipped this area during the last ice age, leaving behind a terrain filled with valleys and ridges. The course takes full advantage of the region.

Contestants are expected to provide an Android or Apple smartphone capable of running this app. The app times you into the hidden controls and automatically provides you with a running score.

MN: Minnesota Valley Winter Rally
2023-03-25 15:00 - 20:30 UTC | • Sticks Tavern, Chaska, MN, 6940 Dahlgren Rd, Chaska, MN, 55318, United States
The course for this SCCA Land o’ Lakes Region is mostly unpaved roads traversing the Minnesota River Valley. By late March the roads could be dry, mud, snow or any combination. Be prepared.

Sunset at 7:32 PM so part of the Minnesota Valley Winter Rally will be at night but mostly daylight. External night lighting will not be required but it would’t hurt on older cars, interior lights will be very useful.

We advise bringing winter gear (boots, hat, gloves, etc) and a blanket in case you have car trouble. A small shovel or two would be a good idea if it is still snowy.

Philosophy

This event will not have nearly as many timing points (TP) as others we have done. We have located the TP at traditional locations used when we had to have humans work. We have thrown in a few extra at places we always wanted to put one as well. The first section we are calling the prairie stage. It’s one long stage of about 25 miles with no links. The terrain is rather flat with the interest coming via many 90 degree turns followed by a TP. From there we head down to the Minnesota River starting with the famous Salisbury Hill control before ending the first part in Henderson where you can exchange stories at the Shell station.

From there we follow the traditional course through the tributary valleys. After a brief run up the Minnesota River Scenic Byway before one last stage before ending at Sticks.

MVWR uses the MiRally GPS timing and scoring system. The advantage being contestants get to use the Rabbit Rally Digital Roadbook and rally computer on their smartphone and or tablet. You should enter the event in class G as E, L & S are legacy classes for people using old equipment and timkeeping methods.

We use the Telegram app of group communications. Telegram invite link
