About this event

Spring Fling Road Rally

Sunday June 21, 2020

Presented by

South Jersey Region – Sports Car Club of America www.sjr-scca.org

What is a Road Rally? Bring any road-legal vehicle, a friend, and come have some fun on a Time-Speed-Distance (TSD) Road Rally! This is NOT a race. The challenge for the driver and navigator is to follow directions and to attempt to precisely maintain an assigned average speed. You will encounter checkpoints along the route where your arrival time will be recorded. Arrive early (too fast) or late (too slow) and you will collect penalty points. Lowest score at the end of the rally wins. This event is safe and legal; all speeds are within the posted limits.

Why do I want to run a Road Rally? A road rally might be for you if you like to drive on back country roads.  If you enjoy finding new ways to use your Smart Phone, Laptop, iPad, or similar device. Do you enjoy using your GPS?   GPS units are allowed in all classes and can be helpful to identify the roads you encounter. Do you enjoy meeting new friends and discussing the event at the finish with food and drink (see below too).  And of course, maybe you’ll win an award!

Do you want to use your Smart Phone, Laptop, iPAD, etc. to determine if you’re early or late? SJR’s website to see where you can find APPs, spreadsheets, etc. to help you run in this class. How do you use your Smart Phone to determine if you’re early or late?  There’s an APP for that.  The Richta APP is a popular APP for timekeeping. The apps can be used with your car odometer.

If you want to join us for a great day of motor sports or if you want more information contact Jim Wakemen Sr at e-mail: jwakemen43@aol.com or Phone: 609-634-0485.

Event requirements

The Spring Fling will use the Richta timing system. The Richta system is the state of the art timing system. During the two week time period before the rally, the contestants will use the internet to download all of the timing data for the rally. The contestants cannot access the data. The Route Instructions (RIs) will give the contestants the directions to follow and the speeds to maintain. The checkpoint locations will also be in the RIs. When each rally car reaches each checkpoint their phone will record the exact time of arrival and tell the contestants that time and how much early or late they are.  In Tour rallies the route instructions are very straight forward and easy to follow.  The biggest challenge of a Tour Rally is to stay on time. Newcomers to rallying should enter the SOP Class.

All minors must have a Minor Release Waver signed by both parents/guardians. Please request this Waver in advance.
