PCA SDR Zone 8 Rally

There are five (5) competitive classes:

 

Class A - Equipped

Unlimited equipment.

 

Class B- Navigational

Contestants using unlimited measuring equipment but no cumulative

calculation device; or Stock odometer for measuring distance, with unlimited

calculating equipment (calculation equipment must not connect to distance measuring device in Class B).

 

Class C- Unequipped

The only permissible equipment is stock odometer, pencil, paper, and watches/clocks. No calculating equipment or tables are

permitted (slide rules, factor tables, calculators, computers, etc.) other than seconds to hundredths conversion charts.

 

Class D - Touring

Class D shall run to the same rules as Class E, as specified in the Zone 8 rally regulations, with the exceptions:

1. That any one regardless of experience may compete in class D

2. The event chairperson may choose to write a ”Tour Course”, in conjunction with the regular Zone 8 rally, and use that course as the Class D course, but that course must conform to the Zone 8 rally regulations, as it will count toward the series championship. The words “Tour Course” are defined as meaning that the rally course referred to as a tour course must not contain any traps

 

Class E - Beginner

Same requirements as Class C, but for beginners, new to the sport. It is strongly recommended that the Class E rallyists be provided with greatly

simplified course and instructions in order to foster their learning of rally skills and to encourage their continued participation in the sport. Recei

ving a year end award in Class E requires that the rallyists must move to another class for subsequent years.

 

For all classes, any factory installed equipment is permissible, including navigational systems and average speed displays. Portable GPS units are

also allowed.  

 

Each entrant is responsible for correctly classifying his/her own car. During the rally, there may be a check for proper equipment. All cars are subject to further

scrutiny and reclassification at the discretion of the Zone 8 Rules Committee or the Event Chairperson at any time during an event. If a car is found to be

misclassified after it completes the rally the event may be scored as if the car did not compete
