About this event

 

Detroit Region SCCA
presents the

Pavement Ends Road Rally
a Divisional Tour Road Rally

Saturday October 26, 2024
Roscommon, MI

TSD Tour Rally by Detroit SCCA

This year’s “Pavement Ends” Rally features over 175 miles of roads in the heart of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula to celebrate the “color season”. We’ll leave the tarmac and enter a world of “Up North” scenery. Keep your driving neat as you enjoy the views!

All roads chosen will be traversable at rally speeds in an average family car. The route features a mix of groomed, unpaved, and seasonal roads. Weather varies; you can expect dust, mud, and/or snow. Please prepare accordingly. Course following will be straightforward with frequent mileage instructions. A combination of speed changes, transits, and pauses will challenge teams to arrive “on time” at GPS controls.

Online pre-registration is required! https://www.motorsportreg.com/

Registration ends: Wednesday, 23 October 2023 11:59 PM EST

NOTE: This rally will use the Richta app for timing and scoring. If you have not used this technology in a rally before then you must take a few moments to visit the Richta app information page at http://drscca.org/rally/using-the-richta-competitor-app/ to learn how the app works and how to use it. Look for "Competitor Richta GPS Checkpoints" app on Google Play Store or Apple App Store or click on the appropriate link:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/competitor-richta-checkpoint/id1448298019

  • All passage timing controls use the Richta GPS app
  • Novices welcome and encouraged
  • Points toward Detroit Region, Great Lakes Division, and SCCA National Road Rally Championships

Once you register, you'll receive information on how to download 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.

Contestants will be asked to enter in one of these four Classes, as determined by the distance measurement and calculating devices that will be used.

Competition Classes:

E - Equipment unrestricted.
G - GPS-derived odometer integrated with any calculating device such as a rally “app” or rally computer.
L - Odometer unrestricted (including GPS), and calculating device restricted only in that it may not be integrated with the odometer.
S - Unmodified stock odometer only.  Calculating device restricted only in that it may not be integrated with the odometer and clock.
Novice - Class S entry in which the combined TSD rallies between team members is less than 6.

Event requirements

ATTENTION! If you intend to use a TSD rally app on your smart phone or tablet device in this rally, you MUST read the following carefully and register to compete in the appropriate equipment class – either Stock or Limited.

Stock class requires that you use an app that does not incorporate automatic mileage measurement from any distance measuring source. This includes any app that automatically accumulates mileage utilizing the device’s internal GPS. You must manually enter mileages into the app using the app’s mileage input function. Furthermore the mileages entered into the app must come from the car’s stock odometer. You may not use any external odometer or a GPS-based odometer app on a phone or tablet device for rally computer app mileage input sources in Stock class.

You may choose to use a TSD rally computer app on your phone or tablet that automatically accumulates mileage based upon input from the device’s internal GPS, or from a separate third-party GPS receiver. However, using an app that automatically accumulates distance based upon GPS position data places you into Limited class. YOU CAN NOT RUN IN STOCK CLASS with any app that automatically accumulates mileage from any source.

Note that Novice class requirements are identical to Stock class. If you otherwise would qualify as a Novice class competitor (driver and navigator, combined, have competed in six or fewer rallies), but choose to use an app that automatically accumulates mileage from a GPS source you must compete in Limited class.

Please read carefully:

If you are registering yourself for the first time please 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, please choose Option 2 on the order form.

If you do not already have a MotorsportReg.com account, click the 'Create New Account' button below. You will be asked to input your member number and Region of Record. This is your SCCA Membership number and home region. You must have this information in your user profile to avoid needing a weekend membership for this event. (Also, make sure your MotorsportReg.com user name matches exactly as it appears on your SCCA Membership card... otherwise, the member verification process will not validate your membership.)
