IN: Putnam Purple Cow Precision RoadRally
2023-07-01 00:00 - 2023-07-02 23:59 UTC | • Putnam Park Road Course, Greencastle, IN, 5251 S Co Rd 550 E, Greencastle, IN, 46135, United States
Putnam Purple Cow Precision is a Tour RoadRally designed to be run by individuals attending the SCCA Time Trial event at Putnam Park Road Course the weekend of July 1-2, 2023. While the goal on track is to go fast, the goal of a RoadRally is to drive with precision and observation. The course will take participants into Cloverdale and back to Putnam Park while highlighting some of the amenities and unusual sites in the area. The entire course can be driven in less than an hour.

The rally uses Richta GPS Checkpoints, and participants may run it any time at their convenience from registration on Saturday until mid-afternoon on Sunday, If you are joining us for pizza in Cloverdale on Saturday evening, you can drive the first part of the rally from Putnam Park to Cloverdale on the way and then finish the return trip whenever you would like.

The cost of the RoadRally is $25 per car for members. If you are not an SCCA Member but are running the Time Trial Event the same weekend, then your weekend membership also covers this event. If you are not an SCCA member and have not purchased a weekend membership covering July 1-2, you must pay a $ 15 Weekend Membership fee at event check-in.

To make things interesting, live scoring for the RoadRally may be viewed with the Richta GPS Competitor system all weekend. If you run the rally and think you could do better, we will assign you a new car number for a $10 donation to the rally pot, and you can rerun the event. The event winners will get 50% of the rally pot, 2nd place will get 30%, and 3rd place will receive 20%.

The only class for this event is Stock. You must use your car’s odometer. A simple calculation device is permitted. The rally is designed so that you can get a good score just by following the directions and maintaining the correct speed between checkpoints. It is designed for those who have not rallied before but is also challenging for experienced rallyists. We promise you will see things you probably have not seen before and be challenged by some good paved roads. There are no unpaved roads on this SCCA Indianapolis Region Putnam Purple Cow Precision Road Rally.

Items Needed:

Street legal car

Two people in the car (Driver and Navigator)

Pen/pencil/highlighter

Clipboard

Dedicated cell phone or GPS-enabled tablet for the Competitor – Richta GPS Checkpoint App for our checkpoint scoring

TWO LANE BLACK TOP, an SCCA Divisional Tour, is the second event of the Cal Club and Into the Night Rally Team’s Double Rally Weekend! THUNDER ROAD 2023, an SCCA National Tour Rally on Saturday, June 17, 2023

This rally will run our favorite driving roads in the Santa Susana and Topatopa mountains (two of southern California’s transverse ranges) and through the farms, orchards, and open vistas of the Santa Clara River Valley, including the historic towns of Fillmore and Santa Paula.

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 150 miles long, and you will have about 5 hours of driving excitement with frequent breaks for gas, food, and rest stops.

As with all Into The Night Rally Team events, the object of this rally 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. At least two people (Driver and Navigator) are required per car. 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.

TX: Moontower 2023 RoadRally
2023-06-17 13:00 - 17:00 UTC | • A Parking Lot at 51st and Lamar, Austin, Texas, 5007 N Lamar Boulevard, Austin, TX, 78751, United States
In 1884 and 1885, Austin, Texas, was terrorized by a series of murders, mainly of servant girls. Seven women, five black, and one man were killed. Six women and two men were injured. The eight killings are one of the earliest recorded serial murders, predating the infamous Jack the Ripper by three years. The killer was never identified, but the husband of one victim was found guilty but was later exonerated. For more information, read the Steven Saylor novel, A Twist at the End.

The city of Austin began looking for better ways to illuminate the city to ward off further killings. In 1894, the city bought 31 artificial Moontowers from the city of Detroit. Tradition said that the 31 original Moontowers were installed in the shape of a Texas Star. The 165-foot towers originally had carbon-arc light bulbs which had to be lit each night and turned off each morning by a watchman who had to ascend to the top of each tower. Each tower illuminated a 1,500-foot radius.

Electricity was supplied by the new electric generators in the Austin Dam site at the present-day Tom Miller Dam. In the 1920s, arc lamps were replaced with incandescent lamps, which were replaced in the 1930s with mercury vapor lamps. During World War II, a central switch automated turning all of the lamps on and off to assist with city-wide “blackouts.” Today, the towers house LED lights.

In 1976 the Moontowers were inducted into the National Register of Historic Places. In 1995, the remaining towers were carefully restored for their 100th anniversary.

On the event day, Saturday, 17 June 2023, participants will meet at the parking lot at the corner of 51st and Lamar. Registration will be from 1:00 to 2:00 PM, with a safety briefing at 1:45 PM. After the safety briefing, cars will be released for the route, which takes place on city streets. Our destination is The Moontower Saloon at 10212 Mencheca Road in South Austin.

Early Registration will be through MotorsportReg.com. The price is $30.00 per car, regardless of the number of occupants. Children are welcome, but insurance requires that minors under 18 must have the official Minor Waiver signed by both parents. Each car must have a Driver and a Navigator, and each must have a current vehicle inspection sticker and proof of insurance. People who register through MotorsportReg.com will find the Minor Waiver form (please print it in color) and may pay online. People may also register by contacting Ken McElroy and then pay at the event or at the parking lot at 61st and Lamar and pay as they fill out the paperwork there.

This route is along paved city roads, but there are some fierce speed bumps. Along the way, you will see hidden portions of Austin and be given items of local history, and you might even be asked to answer questions about the route.

If you experience symptoms of COVID immediately before the event, your money will be refunded.

The GOAL of the SCCA is to Have Fun with Cars!

Event Requirements

1. Each car must have a Driver with a valid driver’s license,

2. Each car must have a Navigator who can read English.

3. Each car must have a current vehicle registration sticker and proof of insurance.

You may have as many people in the car as there are seatbelts in the car.

You may depart whenever you are ready, but we encourage you to grab a bite to eat/drink at Panera and review your route instructions.

Finish: The Schwenksville, PA area, where several restaurants are available for lunch and are listed in the route instructions.

Questions about the event can be sent to the Rallymaster Clyde Heckler (or call him 609-923-6306).

Event Requirements

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.

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.

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.

We will be using the Richta GPS Checkpoints automatic timing and scoring system. 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. Expect more than 50 timed controls over the approximately 120-mile course. Contestants can relax and tell rally tales during the two breaks in the 5-hour event. We hope to see you there.

The SCCA Land of Lakes Region’s first Navigational Scatter (NavScat). For SCCA purposes, it is sanctioned as a GTA (Games Touring Adventure). After this scatter rally, we will be caravaning to Wisconsin Dells on our way to our final destination, the Badger Burrow Divisional Tour, in Fitchburg, WI, on Sunday. If you plan to run Badger Burrow, you must pre-register, as It fills quickly.

Navigational Scatters were created to provide a rally challenge without the burden of staying on time.We track your progress using the MiRally transponders. Your course is converted to driving distance via GPS and Google Maps. This distance is how you will be scored.

There are several locations to visit. Plot the shortest route that takes you by all of them. Although a map will be provided, you may use any device you want to aid you, including online mapping. Google Maps is helpful but does not always give the shortest route. The route between the points offers many options.

You’ll have three hours and 20 minutes from the time you check in until the time you check in at the endpoint. This includes some extra time in case you make mistakes along the way. Your score is the total miles from start to end. There is a 30-mile penalty for each one you miss.

You will be asked to select a Class. No classes exist for the Escape to Wisconsin Navigational Scatter; your selection will be used for the SCCA LOL Championship. Head over to Motorsportreg and sign up today!

You are responsible for ensuring the following are in order:Headlights (high and low beams) and parking lightsTaillights and brake lightsHorn, windshield wipers, and directional signalsRear-view mirrorFoot brakes and parking brakeTires (inspect for the condition of sidewalls as well as tread)Seat belts, securely installed for the driver and navigatorSafety triangle (optional)First Aid Kit (optional)Tow Rope (optional)Fire Extinguisher (optional)

The SCCA Finger Lakes Region invites you to join them for a little Spring Rally fun, with its Do It Again RoadRally. It is a Social Rally and not apart of any series or serious points race.

Here are the details:

You follow the course, maintaining speeds below the posted speed limit.

As you follow the route, you will be timed at locations unknown to you. All checkpoints will be closed (you do not stop at them.)

The course is approximately 31 miles and should take about 56 minutes to complete.

Teams then repeat the course route at 2:00+car #.

For the second time around the route, checkpoint signs will be out where the cars are timed again. The score will be how close the minute and hundredths is to the time you passed on the first loop (if you did it the first time, you should be able to do it a second time, right?)

If you take a TA on the second passage, text it to the phone number on the routes with a mileage where it occurred. Once a TA is taken, the TA time applies for the rest of the second loop.

Cars will have a window chalk or magnetic number on each side of the car so the checkpoint worker can identify the car as it passes.

Routes would be handed out to the teams at Registration, at the event.

There will be a brief Driver’s meeting at 12:45, before the event.

The results will be calculated after the event and also emailed to all competitors in case you have to leave.,

We will do results at the finish as quickly as we can so we can share rally stories and enjoy some after event camaraderie.

Classes: Experienced (if any team member has done more than 5 rallies) Novice (new to rally where neither team member has done more than 5 rallies)

Registration is online with MotorsportReg and you can click here for more information, too. You can also reach out to Rallymaster Andy Smith, asmith2357@aol.com, 585-314-6054

Pre-registration is required for the rally. Entry fees are $30 per car for SCCA Members and $35 per car for our fellow motorsport enthusiasts.

Just make sure you’re on time outside those free zones because the checkpoints are unmarked – kind of like the pre-app days.

This rally uses the Richta GPS Competitor 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 to 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.com. This helps us determine how many Route Instructions to print, trophies, etc. If that doesn’t work for you, you can still register in person at the start. We start at the Bank of America rear lot. In-person registration opens at 7:00 pm, with the first car out at 8:01 pm; there is a beginner/Richta meeting at 7:40 pm.

The rally will finish at IHOP, 1225 Truman St., San Fernando, CA 91340. This is close to the start, so it’s a short drive back in case Drivers and Navigators meet at the start location.
