SCCA Diviosional Tour RoadRally

Preliminary Information.

About

The course is mostly unpaved roads traversing the Minnesota River Valley. By March the roads could be dry, mud, snow or any combination. Be prepared.

Sunset at 7:32 PM so part of the rally will be at night but mostly daylight. External night lighting will not be required but it would’t hurt on older cars, interior lights will be very useful.

We advise bringing winter gear (boots, hat, gloves, etc) and a blanket in case you have car trouble. A small shovel or two would be a good idea if it is still snowy.

Philosophy

This event will not have nearly as many timing points (TP) as others we have done. We have located the TP at traditional locations used when we had to have humans work. We have thrown in a few extra at places we always wanted to put one as well. The first section we are calling the prairie stage. It’s one long stage of about 25 miles with no links. The terrain is rather flat with the interest coming via many 90 degree turns followed by a TP. From there we head down to the Minnesota River starting with the famous Salisbury Hill control before ending the first part in Henderson where you can exchange stories at the Shell station.

From there we follow the traditional course through the tributary valleys. After a brief run up the Minnesota River Scenic Byway before one last stage before ending at Sticks.

MVWR uses the MiRally GPS timing and scoring system. The advantage being contestants get to use the Rabbit Rally Digital Roadbook and rally computer on their smartphone and or tablet. You should enter the event in class G as E, L & S are legacy classes for people using old equipment and timkeeping methods.
