NJ: Northern New Jersey Region Back to School RoadRally Event
2021-08-22 10:00 - 16:00 UTC | • McDonald’s, Flemington, NJ, 72 Reaville Ave, Flemington, NJ, 08822, United States
Northern New Jersey SCCA in association with the Motorsport Club of North Jersey presents the Back to School Road Rally on Sunday, August 22nd.

This event will be an introduction to mileage-based course rallying. 100 penalty points will be ‘awarded’ for each mile that you go off-course. Exact times are not important but accurate course-following is.

Mike Szorentini, the Rallymaster, is designing the route for individuals new to this type of event and will provide helpers to keep you on-course and ‘instruct’ you on the possible upcoming self- correcting route following tricks that you might see later in the event or on the December 5th Teddy Bear Toys for Tots rally.

This event is open to the general public and requires only a car or light SUV/truck, pen/pencil, and a clipboard or other writing surface.

The rally will end at Tavern 519 – 650 County Route 519, Frenchtown, NJ.

The rally is limited to 60 vehicles! Click here to register today!

PA: Steel Cities End of Summer Showcase Festival – Monopoly III Road Rally
2021-08-28 12:45 - 17:00 (America/Chicago) | • Pittsburgh International Race Complex, 201 Penndale Road, Wampum, PA, 16157, United States
Steel Cities Region, SCCA, as part of this year’s End of Summer Showcase, will stage the Monopoly III Road Rally on Saturday, August 28, 2021.

The 60 mile, approximately 3 hour afternoon event will start and finish at Pitt Race, the Pittsburgh International Race Complex, in Wampum, PA, just off the PA Turnpike, Beaver Valley Exit 13, 45 miles north of Pittsburgh, PA.

Like similar Sports Car Club of America Road Rally events, this one will use paved, public, lightly traveled country roads. Road Rally is not a race. You will travel below the speed limit searching for the correct signs to move around a Monopoly game board. The winning team will be the one who comes closest to the correct trip around that board. This event will wind its way through tall forests, past large farms and small towns.

No rally experience is necessary but you will need a street-legal car, a Driver, and a Navigator. The entry fee is $25 per car, and only the driver needs an SCCA membership (weekend membership can be purchased at registration).

To allow Steel Cities to prepare for the event, teams must contact Rick Beattie by 9:00 PM, August 25, 2021, to confirm their attendance and to receive further information.

CA: First Friday Niter Social RoadRally
2021-09-03 19:00 - 22:30, 2021-10-01 19:00 - 22:30, 2021-11-05 19:00 - 22:30 UTC | • Bank of America – Mission Hills, SMSCC FFN Start, 10300 Sepulveda Blvd, Mission Hills, CA, 91345, United States
The First Friday Niter Series has a long history with the Santa Monica Sports Car Club, a Chapter of the SCCA California Sports Car Club.

Registration opens at 7 PM, with a Beginner/Richta App meeting at 740 PM. The first car is out at 801 PM. The entry is $25, with a $10 discount if either the Driver or Navigator is an SCCA Member. Should you run the FFNs regularly, this becomes an excellent reason to join the SCCA and other discounts available from National.

We are still practicing COVID-19 restrictions – primarily wearing masks and social distancing. We continue to use the Richta Competitor GPS app for checkpoints, so no manned checkpoints or control cards to pass in and out of the car; there’s a new version, 1.20, that should automatically update on your phone when you log in. Each checkpoint sign will be clearly shown in the instructions, so no guesswork will be needed.

MI: Press On Regardless RoadRally

VT: Great American Mountain Rally Revival
2021-09-13 - 2021-09-15 | • Trapp Family Lodge, 700 Trapp Hill Rd, Stowe, VT, 05672, United States
We hope you can join us for the Great American Mountain Rally Revival (GAMRR), with three fantastic days of rallying in beautiful Stowe, Vermont, at our host inn, the Trapp Family Lodge.

John Buffum, a multi-time USA Rally Champion and a past European event Rally Champion, has agreed to be the Clerk of the Course for GAMRR. John was available last year to perform the Recce with my input during the closure of the State of Vermont to out of staters since he lives just north of Burlington. His extensive knowledge of ‘great’ rally roads was instrumental in putting together a fantastic route. John’s vast experience in Stage and Regularity rallies will cement GAMRR as one of the premier Regularity rallies in North America.

GAMRR is a Hybrid rally incorporating a ‘Tour’ with a Regularity Rally. There will be a course to follow through northern Vermont utilizing Tulip-style instructions and a short map reading section. Monday’s ‘Prologue’ rally is a short run north of Stowe to get everyone familiar with the route instructions and the timing; a short ‘school’ will precede the route. Tuesday’s rally follows the 1955 route over Smuggler’s Notch to the Canadian border and then heads south through the chain of islands and along Lake Champlain’s shores before its return to Stowe. Wednesday’s rally swings to the south, again following a route from the 50’s – this time from 1956. You’ll encounter four mountain passes during its clockwise loop. GAMRR is similar to the Monte Carlo Historique, which has 300+ cars driving around southern France over five days; many ‘cool’ cars with drivers who want to enjoy the idea that they are in a competition, even though they may not be overly concerned with winning. Many have service crews and meet up with friends or other competitors along the way; we assume no one will be bringing their service crews to GAMRR! Last year Hagerty provided a free weekend of towing for entrants, and we hope to secure them again this year.

There are several sections throughout each day where you have to roll up your sleeves and try to stay precisely on time; these are the Regularities’ Timed Sections. In these sections, we will be employing a modern system of GPS timing, eliminating the need for control workers. The timing system also enables us to have as few or as many controls as we see fit. Timing performed via an automated system will allow a timelier reporting of daily scores.

We do, however, want to maintain the flavor of the original rally, and thus, we will be limiting the technology that contestants can use. In theory, if the technology did not exist in the 1950s or early 1960s, it is not allowed (with a few exceptions) for GAMRR.

As we enter the third year of this revival rally (after our break from Covid last year), we are incorporating “lessons learned” during the first two years.

We remain dedicated to keeping this event in the spirit of the original events of the ’50s with just a touch of modern-day conveniences.

We are certain you will enjoy it! Registration opens May 11th on Hagerty Motorsportreg, so click here for more information and to register your team today! We will be posting updates and answers to queries on the Registration site.

IN: Indianapolis Region Hoosier Byways: The Bridges of Putnam County
2021-09-18 12:00 - 20:00 UTC | • Jack’s Kitchen, 9620 N Little Point Rd, Stilesville, IN, 46180, United States
The Bridges of Putnam County is a Divisional Tour Rally that is part of the SCCA Great Lakes Divisional Championship. It is a challenging Tour rally using GPS checkpoints. The route includes many well-groomed, yet curvy, gravel roads and crosses several covered bridges in Putnam County. Although designed to be challenging for Divisional competitors, the rally can be run by anyone who would like a full afternoon of road rallying with some spectacular scenery. The route is well defined and the challenge is to stay on time.

The route includes a tire warm-up followed by a 12+ miles odometer check that contains paved and gravel roads. There is no headquarter hotel for this event. Should you would like overnight accommodations, the rally committee suggests using a hotel near State Rd. 267 and I-70 (exit 66). There are many hotels at that exit and it is a 16 mile (less than 20 minute) drive from there to the rally start point.

WA: Nor'Wester Rally 2021
2021-09-25 00:00 - 2021-09-26 23:59 (America/Chicago) | Kirkland, WA, 400 Urban Plaza Suite 135, Kirkland, Washington, 98033, United States
Cascade Passes Tour

Nor’Wester Rally is a Time-Speed-Distance (TSD) perfect time, touring rally. Entrants are given route instructions containing specific, clear directions to follow, with speeds at or below the legal limit in all cases. Cars are assigned a specific time to start each section in the route instructions, at one-minute intervals.

NOTE: We, at RReNews, are awaiting details on Registration and starting location from the organizers. To field the event on our calendar, the address for starting is simply the Chamber for Kirkland. We will amend when information is provided!

Nor’Wester is a ‘closed checkpoint’ format, where the cars do not stop at checkpoints, but rather the checkpoints are sometimes hidden, with timing to a specific landmark. This kind of rally is ‘On Time, All the Time’. Penalty points are issued for passing a checkpoint early or late. Speeding is a sure way to lose the rally, as early points are just as bad as late points. The goal is to pass all checkpoints exactly at the correct second, netting zero points. The car with the least number of points wins.

This event is a pure course-following rally; there are no tricks or traps. Precision timing is the main criterion. Traveling remote areas with spectacular scenery is a bonus.

Automapic is a rally with a long history, at one time it focused almost exclusivity on map reading skills. Now there is less of that, especially in the novice and beginner classes.

When:Car 1 out at 11:01AMEnd of Leg A about 1:00PMEnd of Leg B about 3:45PM

Cost$50 for the ORRC$20 for the SNATRIf you enter the ORRC you are automatically entered in the SNATR, no extra fee.

This navigational rally consists of two legs. Leg A will count as one ORRC (Ontario Championship) and also be one of our SNATR’s (Saturday Night at the Rallies). Leg B will just be ORRC. The ORRC has novice & expert instructions, the SNATR has beginner and novice.

For the purpose of ORRC series points only, legs A & B are scored as two individual rallies. The awards will be for the entire rally

Leg A classes:ORRC ExpertORRC Novice (same as SNATR Novice)SNATR beginner

Leg B ClassesORRC ExpertORRC Novice

The SNATR beginner instructions will be easier than the ORRC novice. There is no SNATR for leg B but you are welcome to continue in leg B with novice instructions.

The distance is for leg A is about 100km, Leg B 130km. There is a 25 minute break between the two legs at the restaurant. There is no halfway point break in the SNATR. Murray has picked all the obscure and interesting roads in the area where he grew up so it will interesting for both the driver and navigator.

Navigational rally teams a driver and navigator to find their way through the route using sometimes cryptic instructions while staying on route and on time. Checkpoints at undisclosed locations along the route record your arrival time and penalties are accessed for early or late arrival. Average speeds needed to stay on time are usually at least 10% below the posted limit. It’s not a race, it’s route finding and timing. We have two levels of instructions, beginner and novice. Beginner is perfect if you’ve never done this before. Check out the brief overview of navigational rallying and here are some sample instructions. Want to bring the kids along? That’s fine, if we know we can even print extra sets of instructions for them.

We’ve still got some Covid regulations to follow so we’re keeping contact to a minimum. We’ll try to do all the paperwork online, you will write the times on your route card from what the checkpoint tells you.

Here are the forms you need to fill out:Entry formSelf DeclarationGeneral Waiver (fillable) orCARS-General-waiver-_EN (print & sign)

If you have people under the age of 16 in the car you’ll need:Annual-Parental-Consent-WaiverMinor-WaiverThe waivers are fillable PDF’s. You might have to print the filled form as a PDF and attach it to an email, or print it and bring it along with you. It’s a bit clunky be we do need to have copies on file for everybody in the car.

Payment: We’re trying to avoid as much contact as possible so payment by interact transfer or credit card via MotorSportReg is preferred. Credit card payments will not be processed until the competitors are confirmed at the event.

For interact send $20 (or $50) to martin.loveridge.rally@gmail.com and use the password KWRC or something else if you prefer. If you can’t make the event we will give a full refund.

New Jersey National RoadRally Weekend
2021-10-09 07:30 - 2021-10-10 17:00 UTC | • Days Inn by Wyndham, Absecon, NJ, 405 E Absecon Blvd, Absecon, NJ, 08201, United States
In the fall of 2020, with the popularity of the Richta GPS Timing System, the two New Jersey Regions agreed to host the first New Jersey National RoadRally Weekend on October 9/10 of 2021. South New Jersey Region will be presenting a straightforward National Tour Rally starting near Atlantic City and traveling North By Northwest into the New Jersey Highlands. The Northern New Jersey Region’s New Jersey Monte, a National Course Rally – Map Rally, will begin from that locale.

Orson Wells Martians landed in Grover Mills – the North by Northwest Rally will take you by this landmark!

October 9 – North by Northwest is an all-day 180+ mile straight forward Time-Speed-Distance Rally. Hosted by SJR is the first event of a New Jersey National Weekend. The route will start near Atlantic City and travel north by northwest ending in Clinton, NJ.

The route will have over 120 timed control locations. It will include some sand trails in the New Jersey Pine Barrens, home of the New Jersey Devil, pass by Grover Mills where Martians first landed in Orson Welles’ War of the Worlds 1938 radio drama, and traverse the rolling county side of central New Jersey with its many one-lane bridges and scenic farmlands.

All control locations will be listed in the route instructions. Including the control locations in the route instructions bring a special challenge and an increased focus to stay “on-time all the time” to get good scores on the event. Rallymaster Jim Wakemen and Event Chair Clyde Heckler are well known on the SCCA National Series circuit and have many National Championships to their names.

October 10 – New Jersey Monte is an all-day 160+ mile Time-Speed-Distance Map Rally. This second event of the New Jersey National Weekend will start in Clinton, NJ, and end in Long Valley, NJ. The route will be based on the ‘historic’ New Jersey ‘Esso’ map. All Timing Controls will be listed on the map with associated Car Zero ‘Key Time’ and Official Mileage. All you have to do is stay on course by following the route highlighted on the map and get to each of the Timed Controls ‘on time.’ How hard can it be?

Set your own speeds between each control, just as long are you arrive ‘on time’ at each of the twenty timed checkpoints, but remember to stay on course per the route listed on the map to avoid additional penalties associated with hidden route controls. The New Jersey Monte is in honor of NNJR’s member Dave Panas who was one of the original organizers of the NJ Monte in the early 60s. The route will travel the rural roads of the New Jersey Highlands and skirt Blairstown, home of Jason Voorhees, the main character of the 1980 cult classic horror film Friday the 13th. The New Jersey Monte was last listed on the SCCA National Course Rally schedule in March of 1992 and marks NNJR’s return to the National Rally Series after an almost 30 years absence. Rallymaster Peter Schneider and Event Chair Bob Shore are best known as SCCA Regional organizers; last year, 20% of all individuals attending an SCCA RoadRally in the United States attended one of their events.

NC: Cedar Mountain Rotary Fundraiser Road Rally
2021-10-09 10:00 - 15:00 (America/Chicago) | • Oskar Blues Brewery, 342 Mountain Industrial Dr, Brevard, North Carolina, 28712, United States
The Cedar Mountain Rotary is planning their Inaugural Road Rally for Saturday, Oct. 9, as part of a fundraiser for Rise & Shine.

The objective of the rally is for a team of two, a driver and a navigator, to use a set of clues to reach designated points of interest in Transylvania County and Pickens County. The date was selected to take advantage of the scenic beauty of the area in the fall season. Those taking part will be asked to answer questions in the clues and take pictures of the designated points to score “points.” It is much like a scavenger hunt but on wheels.

The starting and ending points will be at Oskar Blues Brewery, with rally teams being sent out in two directions over the same course. We will award the teams with the most points prizes at the end. We will be using a “Rotary” themed bag to hold a lunch for the team and any handouts from sponsors and the charitable recipient, Rise & Shine.

For more information, contact Cathy or Len Haupert at (607) 280-0889 or (828) 885-7582 or via email at Cathy.haupert@ gmail.com.

TX: ONTO Fall National GTA RoadRally
2021-10-23 | • Springhill Suites (Dallas McKinney/Allen), 2660 South Central Expressway, McKinney, TX, 75070, United States
Join us this Fall to help us celebrate 70 years of the Texas Region SCCA with a fun-packed weekend of National-level RoadRally on North Texas country roads.

Here’s what Rick Beattie wrote about the 2019 ONTO Fall National GTA Rally: “The General Instructions described many things like numbered route instruction, main road determinants, and course following rules that made it more of an untimed National Course Rally.” Winner Bruce Gezon described it as “really hard, but nevertheless the best Course Rally he had run that year.” Jerry White described the traps as “just plain fun.” Rallymaster Witt will send you the Generals, RI’s, and detailed descriptions of the traps and loops from the 2019 GTA if you email her at lizwitt@yahoo.com.

We’re going to do it again with a course-following GTA and a Course Rally. On some of the best rally roads around, mainly in Collin County. And Texas is usually beautiful in October.

ONTO Fall National Course Rally: Saturday will be a 180-mile course-following rally through the countryside on rural Texas’ beautiful, paved roads. And with a grand tour of the town of Farmersville, home of Audie Murphy. Designed for the experienced rallyist, it will have variable Main Road Rule priorities, and both numbered and lettered Route Instructions. Additionally, some of the numbered instructions will have a choice of actions. Speeds will be moderate with the generous use of Free Zones. The Richta app will time you.

ONTO Fall National GTA Rally: The Saturday GTA Rally is also course-following and has many of the same traps as the Course Rally. But it has no lettered instructions, so many of the traps are implemented differently. You will be scored by your answers to questions designed to determine if you followed the correct course and/or applied the rules correctly.

Pre-registration on MSReg.com is recommended – registration opens July 1st. Click here for registration. You can enter either the Course or the GTA event on Saturday. If you’re running a Saturday event and the Sunday event, you must register for each separately.

In light of the current COVID-19 situation, every attempt will be made to minimize the risks of exposure to the virus. New processes and procedures have been developed and will be put into place to support this objective. Ultimately, it is your responsibility to assess the risk to you and to make the decision on whether or not to participate.

Here’s what Rick Beattie wrote about the 2019 ONTO Fall National GTA Rally: “The General Instructions described many things like numbered route instruction, main road determinants, and course following rules that made it more of an untimed National Course Rally.” Winner Bruce Gezon described it as “really hard, but nevertheless the best Course Rally he had run that year.” Jerry White described the traps as “just plain fun.” Rallymaster Witt will send you the Generals, RI’s, and detailed descriptions of the traps and loops from the 2019 GTA if you email her at lizwitt@yahoo.com.

We’re going to do it again with a course-following GTA and a Course Rally. On some of the best rally roads around, mainly in Collin County. And Texas is usually beautiful in October.

ONTO Fall National Course Rally: Saturday will be a 180-mile course-following rally through the countryside on rural Texas’ beautiful, paved roads. And with a grand tour of the town of Farmersville, home of Audie Murphy. Designed for the experienced rallyist, it will have variable Main Road Rule priorities, and both numbered and lettered Route Instructions. Additionally, some of the numbered instructions will have a choice of actions. Speeds will be moderate with the generous use of Free Zones. The Richta app will time you.

ONTO Fall National GTA Rally: The Saturday GTA Rally is also course-following and has many of the same traps as the Course Rally. But it has no lettered instructions, so many of the traps are implemented differently. You will be scored by your answers to questions designed to determine if you followed the correct course and/or applied the rules correctly.

Pre-registration on MSReg.com is recommended – registration opens July 1st. Click here and register today! You can enter either the Course or the GTA event on Saturday. If you’re running a Saturday event and the Sunday event, you must register for each separately.

In light of the current COVID-19 situation, every attempt will be made to minimize the risks of exposure to the virus. New processes and procedures have been developed and will be put into place to support this objective. Ultimately, it is your responsibility to assess the risk to you and to make the decision on whether or not to participate.

WI: Land of Lakes Autumn Leaves RoadRally
2021-10-23 11:30 - 18:00 UTC | CA
A 112-mile TSD Regularity rally traversing the twisty, wooded roads of northern Dunn County in Wisconsin. Hopefully, forests will still be in peak colors!

OH: Johnny Appleseed Road Rally
2021-10-23 12:00 - 20:30 (America/Chicago) | • Sleep Inn, Bolivar, OH, 11155 SR 212 N.E., Bolivar, OH, 44612, United States
Neohio Region, SCCA will host the Johnny Appleseed Rally on Saturday, October 23, 2021. The ~150 mile route will wind through the hills of Ohio’s Tuscarawas, Harrison and Belmont counties. Foliage should be at near peak coloration.

The Johnny Appleseed name is a legacy from a National rally that was hosted by Neohio Region, SCCA in the 1950’s and 1960’s, and resurrected in the early 1990’s. Competitors can expect an absolutely straightforward, gimmick-free Time-Speed-Distance (TSD) road rally, with emphasis on precise timing at well-placed controls. Columnar ‘tulip’-style route instructions will be used.

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

NOTE: All teams must enter here. NO ‘WALK-IN’ ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED ON THE DAY OF THE RALLY!

SCCA members are urged to apply for an annual waiver so that they can bypass the signing of a paper waiver at each SCCA event.

If either team member is a minor, please contact the organizers as soon as possible to obtain an SCCA minor waiver form. This form must be properly executed in advance of the rally by the minor’s parent(s) or guardian(s).

This rally will be timed with the Richta automated checkpoint system. Each team must carry a ‘smart’ phone or tablet (Android or iOS) running the current version of the Richta Competitor ‘app.’ Look for ‘Competitor Richta GPS Checkpoints’ app on Google Play Store or Apple App Store or click on the appropriate link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.richta.cpa2&hl=en_UShttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/competitor-richta-checkpoint/id1448298019 Prior to the rally, checkpoint information (Latitude/Longitude coordinates and target arrival times) will be uploaded to the ‘cloud.’ All teams will receive a password that will allow them to download this information. Competitors will NOT be able to view this information in advance. Upon arrival at each checkpoint, a team’s device will sound an alert. It will then display the team’s recorded arrival time, its score for that checkpoint, and its cumulative score. The device may also display leg ‘critique’ information provided by the rallymaster.

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 welcome to register a second (backup) phone or tablet under a ‘phantom’ car number 100 greater than their assigned numbers (i.e. Car#1/101, Car #2/102, etc.). The second device will serve as an in-time ‘insurance policy’, and will help organizers gain a better understanding of the relative timing behavior of various platforms. It will not be used for scoring unless there is a failure of the primary device.

In accordance with ongoing public health guidelines there will be no official indoor gatherings of rally participants.

Start Location:

Sleep Inn in Bolivar, OH, 330.874.3435 (Latitude: N40˚38.519’, Longitude: W081˚26.701’). A small block of rooms will be held until ~ October 8th. Use code ‘Neohio SCCA’ to access a special rate.

NY: Route of All Evil Road Rally...All in Good Time and Deceptive Bends for 2021
2021-10-30 09:30 - 2021-10-31 15:30 (America/Chicago) | • Buffalo Wild Wings – Oneonta, NY, 768 NY Rt 28, Oneonta, NY, 13820, United States
A short message from Rallymaster Extraordinaire Frank Beyer (aka Dr. Devio) about the 2021 Route of All Evil Weekend — this year, there will be two Regional Route(s) of All Evil: All in Good Time on Saturday, October 30th and Deceptive Bends on Sunday, October 31st. You can run one or both!

Expect a couple of things to be missing from my turn as a Rallymaster for the Finger Lakes Region: darkness and snow (probably). The fields are limited to 30 cars each. Early registration is now open to cars with at least one full-time SCCA member.

Both courses feature smooth paved and unpaved roads; no car-breakers. Saturday’s route is about 190 miles long and Sunday’s about 175 miles. Speeds will be appropriately brisk for the roads and conditions. The Route and General Instructions are straightforward, but you’ll need to stay alert and be ready to react to the situations presented. I expect you’ll rack up a bunch of zeros but you’ll work for them. Timing will be done with the Competitor – Richta GPS Checkpoints, using your smartphone in your car.

CLASSES for the 2021 Route of All Evil:

(E)quipped – no restriction on equipment. (E on Sunday will not qualify for some of the overall prizes to give L and S a chance in the spotlight).

(L)imited – all mileage information must be manually entered in full (no constants) into calculating equipment

(S)tock – all mileage information must be derived from the stock odometer in the stock location and must be manually entered into calculating equipment

AWARDS will be in cash; perhaps other trinkets if the budget allows.
