About this event
Join us March 14th in Los Angeles for the "Ron Dunlop Memorial Road Rally!"
WHAT:
An SCCA-Sanctioned "Monte Carlo Style" Navigational Tour RoadRally. All checkpoints are clearly marked and you are given easy-to-follow, turn-by-turn instructions. On this rally you will be given mileages to each checkpoint and the exact time to be there! There are no set speeds. You pick a speed (at or below the legal limit, of course). If you get to the Checkpoint early, you can creep or stop without penalty until your time to cross the Checkpoint.
This rally is Event #3 of the 2026 Southern California Road Rally Championship (SCRRC), a joint championship between the Santa Monica Sports Car Club and the San Diego Region of the SCCA.
