About this event
Minnesota Valley Rally is an SCCA/LOL Regional course rally. Somewhat similar to the last leg of Grumpy Old Men rally last January. If you are up for a challenge and a fun drive without having to worry about being on time this is for you. There are no apps to learn, just plot your course and follow the map while our transponders track you.
AT this time we are lanning on running the rally on Sunday afternoon. With a probable start aroud 3-5PM.
This will be a map based rally based on the Printed Lines and baricades style used on part of the famous Tulpenrally. The rally is only wabout 60 mile long and should take no more than 2 hours to plot nd run. You will be scored on distance and passage controls that confirm you took the correct course. Penalties for going through ablocade.
Printed line with barricades
1. From the beginning to the end of the route section to which this system applies, the printed line on the map
(PL) must be followed as accurately as possible, avoiding the barricades.
2. The PL (or part thereof) may only be driven in the direction that must be followed to get from the beginning
to the end of the PL. This direction may also be indicated by direction arrows along the PL.
3. (Parts of) the PL may be included in the route more than once.
4. The PL is interrupted by numbered barricades (crossbars). It is not permitted to drive on a road section that
contains a barricade. In numerical order, a secondary route must be constructed around each barricade,
whereby the following applies in order of importance:
1. the PL is left at the last possible junction of map roads before the barricade;
2. the PL is resumed at the first possible junction of map roads after the barricade;
3. the alternative route is as short as possible.
5. The combination of (the drivable parts of) the PL and the secondary routes forms the intended route.
The correct course does not allow U-turns.
