Supplementary Regulations
The Coulee Classic is the first event in the 2026 LSCC Navigational TSD series.
The rally runs on straight-forward instructions. In addition to the route instructions, maps will be
provided for recovery purposes. The rally will be about 210km long, entirely within the province
of Alberta. An odometer check section of about 46km will be provided. Roads will be about 25%
pavement, 75% gravel (mud/ice/snow) and all instructions will be provided in KM units.
Required Equipment:
Winter tires, A 5BC fire extinguisher (or larger), one (1) self-supporting reflective warning
triangle (30cm per side), a basic first aid kit (we recommend an Alberta #2). Additional lights on
the front should meet legal requirements as to type and mounting height and must be wired to the
high beam lights such that the additional lights turn off when switching to low beam. Fog lights
may be wired independently. Open (convertible) cars require a roll bar.
Full size spare tire, head lamp, warm clothes, snow shovel, tow rope, snacks and drinks
The Event:
This event will have two legs ending at 1 fuel stop. Each leg is divided into Transit sections and
Regularity sections. Transit sections give a time that is adequate for completing the section well
within speed limits. Your time will not be recorded in transit sections. Regularity sections list
specific average speed, which are below the speed limits, which you must maintain in each part
of the regularity. Your timing in these sections determines your score. Timing controls will be
placed in regularity sections only, at various unannounced locations, and will not be placed near
stop signs or busy intersections. Cars may not slow down excessively within sight of a timing
control. At the control official’s discretion, the competitors time may be recorded early when that
happens. Procedure when approaching a control is simply to drive straight past without
stopping and the control official will record your time. You may wish to note the time and
distance of each control you pass for verification purposes.
The sweep vehicle may not always be able to extract wayward cars from the distant scenery.
Drivers are asked always to drive with their headlights on and to be particularly courteous to
traffic not connected with the rally.
Scoring:
Timing controls will be in regularity stages only, at various unannounced and hidden locations.
Scoring is one point per second early or late, with a grace allowance of 1 second in either way.
The maximum penalty that will be assigned at a single control is 300 points (5 minutes) and the
maximum penalty for a regularity stage is 600 points (10 minutes).
The team with the fewest points wins, and ties will be broken by the most zero scores, then the
most 1 second penalties, etc.
The organizers may decide to delay sections in order to keep the competitors together. If so, an
information control will be set up to inform all competitors.
Richta Rally App
We will be using the Richta Rally app for this event. Please download the competitor app on
your phones, Tablets. The app MUST remain open during the event. All instructions will be sent
to all competitors.
Exceptions to scoring:
A competitor coming up on an accident is required to stop and render aid if necessary (e.g. in
case of injury). After rendering aid, the competitor should record the mileage in that section and
the time when they stopped as well as the time they restarted and give a written declaration of
this to a rally official or the event steward. Scoring adjustments will be made in such cases, and
the crew should not try to regain the lost time until they reach a sufficiently long break (e.g. gas
stop). Declarations of time lost will also be considered for organizers’ errors which make official
time unattainable and other discretionary safety concerns. In the case where a competitor is
stuck, but not injured or in any danger, they should wave rally traffic past and await the
assistance of the sweep vehicle.
