CO: Colorado Adventure Rally
2024-06-23 00:00 - 2024-06-29 23:59 UTC | • Golden Park and Ride, Golden, CO, 18425 US 40, Golden, CO, 80401, United States
Experience Colorado in the summertime with this week-long car rally. It will take you and your rally partner on an adventure trip through the Colorado Rocky Mountains. No prior rally experience is required, and any street-legal car is welcome. Bring that car you love to drive and explore the beauty of Colorado with us.

The Colorado Adventure Rally is co-Hosted by the Sports Car Club of America Continental Divide and Colorado Regions.

Chair and Rallymaster: Jim CrittendenSCCA precheck and safety steward: Steve Gaddy

The 2024 Colorado Adventure Rally is not a race. It is a time-speed- distance (TSD) rally where the game is precision driving, maintaining an assigned average speed (never above the legal speed limit), and arriving at multiple checkpoints at precisely the right time. You’ll be assigned penalty points for being too fast or slow at each checkpoint. Trophies will be awarded to the teams with the fewest penalty points.

The rally route includes both paved and unpaved roads. Approximately 25% of the route is unpaved. All of the roads on the rally can be safely traversed by any street-legal car. This is a Regional Tour rally, so there are no tricks or traps, just easy-to-follow route instructions, gorgeous scenery, and roads that are great fun to drive.

MN: Green Heck Gravel Rally
2024-06-22 22:30 - 2024-06-23 06:00 UTC | • Super 8, Park Rapids, MN, 1020 E. 1st Street, Park Rapids, MN, 56470, United States
The Green Heck Road Rally, sanctioned by the SCCA Land ‘o Lakes Region, is a Regional Tour all-night regularity (TSD) rally run on the twisty, technical, and hilly forest roads north of Park Rapids, MN. Honoring the long history of stage rallies in the area, this event sends you down some of the same stage roads used by John Buffum, Rod Millen, and Doug Shepherd in the Group B era. Battle the terrain and your own endurance as you drive toward the sunrise.

We have secured a recce exemption from ARA for Ojibwe Forests Rally competitors.

Each car must include two people: a Driver and a Navigator. No other passengers are allowed. A special release is required if your Navigator is a minor (under 18 years of age). No special equipment is required. We recommend you download the Rabbit Rally 2.0 app to use our interactive digital roadbook and GPS timing for the most fun. You do NOT need to do an odometer calibration for G (GPS) Class, but one will be available if you choose to do so. Rabbit Rally 2.0 offers an interactive digital roadbook and does all calculations so that you always know if you are on time. Time Allowances are now integrated directly into Rabbit for easier operation.

Scoring is done via independent GPS boxes mounted on your windows.

Rabbit Rally Info

The rally will start from the Super 8 in Park Rapids, MN, with the first car out at 1131PM, and end at the Great Northern Cafe, ±6.5 hours and 193 miles later.Entry fee $75 per car, plus $20 Weekend Membership for non-SCCA members

A note on road conditions and vehicle choice—Forest roads can be rough and unpredictable, but we have found these roads to be generally smooth and without obstructions. Significant hazards will be called out in the roadbook as Cautions. Low-clearance vehicles are not recommended. Since this rally is run in remote forests at night, we do recommend equipping your vehicle with ample forward lighting and a recovery point on the front and rear of the vehicle. Underbody protection is never a bad idea, but will not be necessary to complete this rally safely.

Let’s be good stewards of the forest and the community. The rally will be run below the speed limit with street cars. Wait, won’t that make it boring? Sorry, “boring” isn’t in our vocabulary. Get ready for a really fun night. Head over to MotorsportReg and sign up your team today!

Classes

All competitors are expected to use the Rabbit Rally interactive roadbook with GPS mileage.

Classes are divided based on the age of the competing vehicle. Awards will be presented for the best-scoring vehicle in each category.

Classic (Up to 1972 model year)

Malaise (1973-1990 model year)

Modern (1991 and later model year)

MI: Top Sun Regional RoadRally
2024-06-15 11:00 - 17:00 UTC | • Valiant Bar and Grill, Chelsea, MI, 1120 South Main Street, Chelsea, MI, 48118, United States
This is a Detroit SCCA Regional Rally, it does not count toward any Road Rally Championships. The classes run in these championships are different, and this rally is meant to give you a start/improve your start in road rallying or simply have [safe] fun on roads driving.

You are a car enthusiast. You enjoy driving on unpaved roads. You like the challenge of arriving at each control point on time [or somewhere near on time]. You are a good Driver-Navigator team [or at least you think so]. You want to enjoy the scenery…if you can. Do you want to learn the whole new world of road rally or learn to achieve low scores? Well then, come participate in this very 1st Top Sun Road Rally of approximately 4.5 hours, about 110 miles Time-Speed-Distance [TSD] road rally.

Rallymaster Chandra Kogantis has designed this rally for people with little or no road rally experience. Let this not stop you veterans from re-living your past on how you got your start in rallying and sharing your experience with others. This is a “Tour” type rally with no traps or tricks. You and a partner (Driver and Navigator) will be issued a set of Route Instructions that will take you through the country roads in southeast Michigan. There will be two Sections with an hour break between the Sections. Use the break time to discuss with other competitors and get rally veterans’ input. Trophies will be presented to the teams who do the best job of arriving at the checkpoints at the proper times.

We’ll be using the Richta GPS checkpoint system to record your arrival time at each checkpoint. Once you register, you’ll receive information on downloading a custom app to your smartphone. You’ll keep this app open while you run the rally and it will use the GPS signal from your device to record your arrival time at each checkpoint. Once you pass a checkpoint, the app will automatically calculate your score for that checkpoint and display it to you! No more waiting for the end of the rally to see how you did. You’ll see your score on each checkpoint as you go along.

Look for the Competitor Richta GPS Checkpoints app on the 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

You should choose one of these three Classes to register in:

Calculating: Unmodified stock odometer only. The calculating device is restricted only in that it may not be integrated with the odometer and clock.

SOP (Seat Of The Pants): No timing calculations may be performed.

First Timer: Neither crew member has run a Time-Speed-Distance rally more than twice before. Otherwise the same as “Calculating”.

Pre-registration is required for this event at MotorSportReg.com, and there is a 30-car limit for the Top Sun Road Rally. The General Instructions, explaining more details about how the rally works, will be emailed to all registered contestants prior to the event.

The SCCA Detroit Region’s rally page has an excellent summary of the Richta system, especially its Competitor App. Visit http://drscca.org/rally/using-the-richta-competitor-app. It is worth your time.

Event Requirements

Rules and Waivers:

The standard SCCA rules regarding road rallies will be observed. To wit: proof of valid driver’s license and current auto insurance, vehicle inspection (self-inspection by the rally team), and signing of applicable SCCA forms.

All participants will be required to read and sign the standard SCCA waiver before being allowed to participate in this event. The signing of the SCCA “Release and Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk and Indemnity Agreement” is a precondition to participating in any SCCA event. Any adult 18 or older must sign the waiver.

Minor Participants: A Minor taking part in this event must have an Annual Minor Waiver on file with the SCCA for the current calendar year, i.e., 2024.

The Age of Majority is 18 except in Alabama and Nebraska, where it is 19, and Mississippi, where it is 21.

The Annual Minor Waiver will be issued to the Minor by the SCCA National Office. For more information about this process, click on the following document and see the section “Minor Annual Waivers”: Digital Annual Waiver 12-01-2021.pdf.

Before obtaining an “Annual Waiver Minor” for a child, non-member parents/guardians, as well as the Minor in question, must obtain an SCCA Guest Account.

1. Log onto scca.com.

2. Click “Join/Renew” in the information bar at the top of the page.

3. Click on “Create a Guest Account.”

4. Click on “I don’t have a Member ID.”

5. Complete the required information.

Once you, as parents or guardians, have received your Guest Accounts, you can begin the process of acquiring an Annual Minor Waiver for your child. See again the document noted above: Digital Annual Waiver 12-01-2021.pdf.

Do not wait until the last minute to obtain an Annual Minor Waiver for your Minor child/participant. SCCA staff are normally not available after regular business hours or on weekends, so a last-minute Waiver request cannot be processed before the start of this road rally. Without a valid waiver, your Minor will not be allowed to participate.

Finally, please read carefully:

If you are registering for the first time and paying for the event entry, choose Option 1 on the order form and follow the prompts.

If you are registering as a co-entrant and your partner has already registered, choose Option 2 on the order form.

The Mon Melee is an Original Low Buck Automotive Rally. This year will tour the rolling hills of Ohio. AND…all proceeds are donated to charity!

The Experience

The Mon Melee is a bit different than most other auto events you may have attended. Of course, the cars are the vehicles, but the experience is about the journey. Every year, we add to our book of unique stories.

The Trophies

Every year the planning committee spends a huge portion of time and budget towards creating unique trophies. Designed by world-famous designers, the beautiful art pieces represent categories such as “Most-Lostest,” “Spirit of WV,” and the renowned “Schindler Cup.”

The Atmosphere

Car enthusiasts from all walks of life mingle at the Mon. We have Pebble-Beachers, Rat-Rodders, American Muscle Guys, and Euro-Geeks. The laid-back atmosphere and relaxed schedule of events bring us together.

Entry Fee Information (you must checkout the website on eligible vehicles, it made us smile)

The organizers of the Monongahela Melee invite an eclectic mix of automobiles to participate in our event. Remember, this is a low-buck, fun event for all auto enthusiasts. Rust holes are cool! Mismatched paint, we like it! Ratty, yup! Trailer queen, sure – just plan to get dirty and (gasp!) stone chips happen in the real world!

With $285 Entry Fee, each car team (driver and navigator) gets the following super sweet stuff;

· Commemorative Lanyard and Credentials for driver and navigator (which also gains you access to the Saturday dinner and two drinks per person at both the Saturday party and the wrap-party on Sunday)

CA: Ron Dunlop Memorial Charity Cruise
2024-05-18 00:00 - 23:59 UTC | • Dink’s Deli and Bakery, Santa Clarita, CA, 28170 Newhall Ranch Rd, Santa Clarita, CA, 91355, United States
The object of Ron Dunlop Memorial Charity Cruise is to enjoy driving sweeping, beautiful, challenging, paved back roads at legal speeds while raising money for one of our favorite charities. All net proceeds (over $20 per car) will be donated to the Loma Linda University Medical Center, the group that took such good care of Ron. There is no need for advanced math and no riddles, compasses, maps, or gimmicks. We will rain or shine on May 18, 2024.

This is an SCCA Cal Club-sanctioned Regional “Trek” format cruise event sponsored by the Into the Night Rally Team. It’s a non-competitive, untimed driving event. You can run alone or with as many passengers as your vehicle has working seat belts.

The “Trek” format is a “follow-the-leader” type cruise event. There will be a lead car, and we’ll all basically just stay in the queue behind them. Just follow the car in front of you and enjoy the roads. We will hand out a brief, written course description at the Start to help you stay with the route if you decide to stop or whatever. You can stop anywhere for any reason: a break, sightseeing, photos, etc.

Regarding photos, this event will go through the heart of the southern California wildflower area. With the rains we’ve been having, it should be a super bloom and should still be going strong on rally day. We have found an especially scenic spot on the course in this area, and we will have a professional photographer there to get some high-res pictures of you and your car surrounded by the wildflowers. We’ll then send each of you your photos after the event!

This event has been designed to be extremely EV-friendly. Charging stations are near both the Start and Finish.

Please register online at MotorsportsReg.com. Registration is $30 per car. All net proceeds (over $20 per car) will be donated to the Loma Linda University Medical Center, the group that took such good care of Ron. (NOTE: 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.)

Registration opens at 10 AM, but feel free to come earlier. Dink’s Deli makes its bagels on-site daily, and they are mighty good. There’s also a Starbucks and a Jamba Juice literally next door. Come early for some socializing, tall tales, and tire-kicking. The finish will be at the Black Bear Diner in Palmdale.

This driving portion of the event lasts about 2 hours and covers about 90 miles of our favorite roads. The Cruisemaster is Paul McGaffey.

More Info can be found at www.itnrally.org and on the Ron Dunlop Memorial Charity Cruise Facebook page at Log in or sign up to view. For any questions or more detailed information, contact Paul at selmer6@gmail.com, or call or text 310 350 1360.

RReNews Note: Ron Dunlop, for whom this Memorial Cruise is in honor, has a lovely Last Checkpoint tribute written for him by Paul in 2022. You may view it here.

MI: Detroit Region Road Rally School
2024-05-11 11:30 - 17:30 UTC | • Aubree’s Pizzeria & Grill – South Lyon, MI, 21775 Pontiac Trail, South Lyon, MI, 48178, United States
The Detroit Region SCCA (DRSCCA) is excited to announce the return of Road Rally School! All are welcome regardless of experience level: if you’re interested in Road Rally and unsure where to start, have competed in some events and want to improve your scores, or want to try out a new kind of motorsports competition!

Taught by 2020 Stock Class National Champions Sawyer Stone and Alison Lee, Rally School will consist of “classroom” portions where you’ll walk through all of the terms, rally sections, and how-to of following instructions and keeping time to achieve low scores in Road Rally. In addition, you’ll put these new skills to the test over two rally sections where you’ll encounter everything you may run into in a Road Rally. Our goal is to give you the skills and confidence to be competitive in DRSCCA Road Rally events.

What You Need:

A Teammate: Road Rally is a team sport! Teams consist of a Driver and a Navigator. No teammate? Let us know; we can pair you up with someone

A Car: Any road-legal car is allowed. Most of the roads you’ll drive are unpaved backroads around South Lyon, but ordinary passenger cars will be just fine

A SmartPhone: Nearly all checkpoints in Road Rallies are set up via GPS. You’ll need the Competitor – Richta GPS Checkpoint app to test out your new skills

Pen, Paper, and Calculator: Road Rally has some math and some notes. A basic 4-function or cell phone calculator can do everything you need, but it should be a phone that won’t be used for the Competitor App.

Look for the Competitor Richta GPS Checkpoints app on the 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, all the checkpoint information (locations by Latitude and Longitude and the correct arrival times) is loaded onto the internet by the Rally Master. People who register for the rally are given a car number and the password for the app. Each Rally Team then goes to the site and downloads the information for their car. The contestants will NOT be able to view Rally Master information. During the rally, when each car reaches a checkpoint, the contestant’s device will signal a checkpoint has been reached with a “bing-bong” sound. The device will then display your time entered and your score and say “early” or “late.” Your total score for the rally to that point will also be displayed.

Visit the Richta app information page at http://drscca.org/rally/using-the-richta-competitor-app/ to learn more about how the app works and how to use it.

Where: Aubree’s Pizzeria & Grill

When: Saturday, May 11th, Class Start 1130A and Finish 530P

Registration:

$20 per person

Online entries only via MotorsportReg

+$20 if neither the Driver or the Navigator is an SCCA member, one of you must purchase a weekend membership ($15 of this may be used as a discount toward a full SCCA membership).

FL: May the 4th Be With You Road Rally
2024-05-04 09:30 - 14:00 UTC | • Dunkin Donuts, Bartram Park, Jacksonville, FL, 12709 Bartram Park Blvd, Jacksonville, FL, 32258, United States
We are excited to announce our latest road rally event for the greater Jacksonville area with a Star Wars theme! Each car will drive on paved public roads using a set of predefined route instructions through various checkpoints using the Competitor – Richta GPS Checkpoints app. Participants will be scored based on their arrival time at each defined checkpoint. We will start at a fast food restaurant in southern Jacksonville where cars will depart one minute apart. The finish will be a sit down restaurant, technically in Ponte Vedra Beach, where scoring, awards, and lunch will be available (you are responsible for purchasing your own food, we encourage everyone to eat and support the location).

Are you new to road rallies or unsure what this is all about? Check out this (somewhat lengthy but humorous) video explanation.

Any car is allowed, such that it meets all Florida state laws and is insured to meet the state’s minimum requirements. A valid driver’s license and proof of insurance will be required at on-site registration. Each car is allowed as many people as there are seatbelts in the vehicle, but each car is suggested to have at least two people: a Driver and a Navigator. There will be a starting location, five (5) unmanned checkpoints, followed by a sixth checkpoint at the finishing location. Team numbers will be assigned but the starting order will be determined randomly.

Three classes for this rally are available: Stock, Limited, and Seat of Your Pants. Visit https://www.scca.com/pages/roadrally-rules for official class descriptions and rules. Below are some examples of the types of setups used in each class.

Stock: Using your vehicle’s stock trip/odometer, smartphone as a calculator, and a stopwatch (perhaps the same or another smartphone). This is the most common class and recommended for novices.

Limited: Using the car’s built-in navigation system to show distance traveled, a 3rd party GPS tracking system via mobile app (i.e. Richta Odometer, Maps, or an Odometer/Trip app), as long as that information isn’t transferable to the calculating device (i.e. can’t be the same smartphone running the app and calculations).

SOP: Just your odometer, pens/pencils, stopwatch, and gut instincts. No calculator of any kind.

Online registration for the driver and navigator is required. To register and for more information, click here!

Starting Location: Dunkin’ Donuts Finishing Location: Fionn MacCool’s Irish Pub & Restaurant (145 Hilden Rd, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL 32081)Registration Fee: $30 for SCCA members, $50 for non-SCCA members (includes an SCCA Weekend Membership)Estimated Duration: 88 miles, just over 2hrs in duration, breaks are allowed along the way at your leisure.
