REGISTRATION

Pre-register here for $25. Once registered, make sure that your name shows up on the entry list to confirm your entry.  Walk-ups will be accepted the day of the event for $35 registration fee. While SCCA membership is required for insurance purposes, courtesy of weekend memberships will be extended to all non-SCCA members at no additional cost. All licensed drivers are welcome to participate!

 

EVENT OVERVIEW

This is a GTA/Social Road Rally. There are no points towards any championship. 

There are many variations of Road Rally—this is a "social" rally, which does not require participants to track time and accurate distance. Instead, each vehicle has a navigator who will read directions and route questions, and the driver will follow the instructions. The goal is to drive the directions accurately, look for barn quilts along the way, and answer questions about the quilts and the route. At the end of the rally, the driver and navigator team will submit their answer sheet to be tallied. Scoring and determination/announcement of winners will occur at the conclusion of the event. 

The intention is to have a pleasant Saturday drive, following the speed limits and all local laws. Enjoy yourself, enjoy the view and spot the quilts! This is a rural route and there will not be facilities along the way (only one bathroom stop!). Make sure to use the restroom before departing, and take water and snacks along for passengers. 

Additional Notes of Importance:

• The official instructions will be provided at the check-in at on-site registration; mileage will be included to help you determine if you are on course.
• Each navigator should have a pencil or pen (and perhaps a clip board) to record answers to the event questions.
• Vehicles will depart the start point with at least one minute between each vehicle, and each vehicle will have a number I.D.
• There will be check points along the route to verify that participants are on the correct route. 
• Warning: don't play follow the leader! Vehicles ahead of you may make a wrong turn. 
• Each car will be driving approximately 60 miles, total.
• This is NOT a race; ALL traffic laws must be followed.

NUMBERS 

Each car is required to display a number. If you have magnetic numbers (from autocross/rallycross/other programs), you're welcome to sign up and use them. If you do not, paper numbers will be provided at check-in on site.

REQUIREMENTS

You must show your valid driver's license. If you are not an SCCA member, a weekend membership form must be completed on-site or via MotorsportReg.com at no additional charge. 

Driver qualifications: 

1. A driver’s license and a car
2. Capable of listening to the navigator and remembering what they were told

Navigator qualifications:

1. Some organizational ability (to handle the paperwork and keep track of route instructions)
2. Not prone to motion sickness while reading in the car (if you do get motion sick, taking medicine prior to the event often allows you to still enjoy the event)

Notes:

1. You may have in addition to the Driver and Navigator other passengers in the vehicle (not exceeding legal capacity for vehicle). 
2. For each additional passenger, 3 points will be deducted from your final score. This is done because there will be an advantage having  additional eyes on the route looking for Quilts and clues
   1. Example: two back seat passengers your score would have six (6) points deducted—three (3) per passenger
